ᐅ Existing Attic Floor Plan

Hello everyone,

after quietly reading for some time, I am now hoping for your help.

Almost three years ago, we bought and renovated a bungalow from the 1970s (not an energy-efficient renovation). Since the ground floor now meets our needs, it is time to focus on the attic.

And this is where you come in.

The attic is basically already developed, but not in the way we imagine it.

We want one bathroom with a shower, one master bedroom, and one or two children’s rooms.

Unfortunately, I don’t have dimensioned plans; the exterior measurements were taken from the ground floor plan. The other data were measured by myself and therefore are probably not 100% accurate.

I am mainly looking for creative input and ideas for the room layout. I have attached my first draft/idea.

Important details:
- Concrete ceiling
- Roof pitch 35 degrees
- Two wooden beams and the chimney/vent are fixed and cannot be moved (marked in white)
- Windows as they are
- Wastewater outlet located to the left of the stairs in the exterior wall
- The white lines outside are meant to mark the 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) line, which will become the new knee wall
- The roof shape surprised us somewhat because where the white line for the knee wall is drawn, the large roof is actually recessed into the smaller roof on the inside, which in my opinion makes the smaller roof less usable

What do you think of my idea? Is it feasible or not? Will the rooms/functionality work out well?
Do you have suggestions for improvements or maybe a completely different idea?

Since it seems the post can no longer be edited.

One more addition: we do not want any structural changes to the roof, such as dormers or similar, but simply want to design the interior space.

I would rotate it.
Bathroom facing the wastewater connection.
Walk-in closet and bedroom towards the gable. Do not treat the walk-in closet as a trapped room, but the bedroom instead. Remove the two doors to the bathroom. They only cause awkward situations.

This is confusing. A hip roof and then windows placed in the wall?

Please upload some photos of the exterior.

Swap the bedroom and the walk-in closet. The bedroom has no window.

Please align all floor plans consistently.
Take pictures vertically.
Dimension all locations – of course including ridge beams and chimneys in the middle of the room, as well as windows, other projections, etc. Mark where plumbing connections could be installed.

As it is now, this is very difficult.

Is there no plan available for the bungalow?
