Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for choices or exclusions:
- Large open living/dining area with southern exposure.
- Large terrace at the front of the house, accessible from kitchen/dining area.
- Garage not in front of the house to preserve sunny space 🙂 — driveway located north beside the house instead.
- Minimum roof pitch on the upper floor.
- Possibility to reduce living room size later to create a bedroom (planned door in front of guest WC).
- TV area rather small, as we’re not typical couch potatoes :-D
- Office with dormer window.
House Design
Designer:
- Do-it-Yourself: based on a prefabricated house provider’s plan template
What do you particularly like? Why?
- House set back 10 m (33 ft) from the street, large living area due to frequent visits from a large family.
What do you dislike? Why?
- Possibly the kitchen is too small.
- Possibly insufficient storage space.
Price estimate from architect/planner: appointment pending
Personal budget limit for house including fittings: 350,000 (planned DIY for electrical, flooring, heating, plumbing)
Preferred heating technology: geothermal heat, possibly solar thermal support
If You Have to Give Up Something, which details/features
- can be foregone:
- direct access from living room to outside
- cannot be foregone:
- terrace access
Why has the design turned out as it is? e.g.
- Everything was placed on the ground floor with the option to create an additional room later by adding a wall in today’s living room (door in front of guest WC in living room).
- Large terrace at the front of the house is important and there is enough space.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Are there issues with the size of the utility room if washing machine, dryer, technical equipment, and storage space are included?
Is the guest WC with shower sufficiently large?
Do the room sizes appear reasonable?

However, the utility room in the upper right corner is incorrect. The top priority is short routes for supply lines. The plans need to be reconsidered here.Would you be willing to place the utility room in an inconvenient location just to save a few euros on longer supply lines? Or are there other reasons for that? We will also place the utility room on the side of the house farthest from the street, but honestly, whether I install 25 or 35 meters (27 or 38 yards) of piping doesn’t make much difference considering today’s construction costs, so I won’t plan based on that. Especially since some suppliers charge flat rates up to a certain length anyway.

If necessary, place it in an inconvenient spot? No. In this case, I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s inconvenient. But I would consider the overall package.

Because of a few euros Everyone can do as they please and are able to here. But that doesn’t mean I have to give unreasonable advice. It’s easy to say “just a few euros” when it’s not your own money?!

Everyone can do what they should, can, and want here. That doesn’t mean I have to give unreasonable advice. It’s easy to say “just a few euros” when it’s not your own money?!
As I wrote, I personally place the utility room in the most remote location. Simply because it is the most practical there.
But you have to set priorities. And if you say that the top priority is to plan for the shortest possible supply lines, then I find that unreasonable.

As I mentioned, I would place the utility room in the furthest location.Is that so? Your utility room is actually planned in the front corner near the garage so you can always walk through, right? According to your information, you are required to build exactly where the old house stands/stood. Wasn’t that the most direct connection to the street? https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundriss-bungalow-auf-schon-genutztem-Grundstück.37392/page-14

https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundriss-bungalow-auf-schon-genutztem-Grundstück.37392/page-14 I have a sort of corner lot that is 16 m (52 feet) wide and a bit over 70 m (230 feet) long. We enter from the right long side, where there is a path next to the property, which is actually also a piece of land. The driveway is roughly in the middle of our lot. However, the utility lines come from the front, from the actual street where the narrow end of our property is located. Therefore, the lines must run parallel to the side path across our property. I attached a photo from Google Maps. The utility room is planned approximately where the blue box is.
And no, I am not obligated; I want to build in the same place.
