ᐅ Bungalow Floor Plan for 3 People, 130 sqm – Looking for Opinions...

I would like to thank everyone for the many helpful tips. It is true that you can get stuck in your own thoughts quite quickly. I am now looking forward to hearing your opinions…

I think the staircase takes up too much space. It’s also not ideal for the attic floor. I would run it close to the sloping roof and include a left-hand spiral, which would give you better use of the attic. In general, it’s always better to follow the roofline with the staircase. Yes, I know, that was my suggestion 🙄

I also find the entrance hallway too long.

Perhaps the WC should be separated from the technical room – they’re always adjacent.

And I still think the living room should give up half a meter (20 inches) to create two clear axes. Many don’t care about this, but I believe that obvious clarity adds great value to the sense of spaciousness without needing more space.

Upstairs, make sure the bathroom is located above the one on the floor below.

I still see an issue with the costs, and a roof that doesn’t let in light isn’t a natural light source in the house; it just hovers too large and too low over the terrace.

The overall concept is worth continuing to fine-tune like playing Tetris.

And then there’s the structural engineering needed to support the roof 🙄

I wonder where – since all the rooms on the floor plan are labeled as garage or drafts – a now two-year-old child is supposed to stay before moving into their own space at the other end of the house – see my post (and also take a look at the house from which it originated).

By the way, this design increasingly reminds me of the one by @zizzi, to which @kbt09 linked a handful of recommended comparison examples here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundriss-eines-barrierefreien-bungalow.25596/page-37#post-230602.

In my opinion, you would do yourself a big favor by strictly separating your enjoyment of designing houses from applying it to your own building project: consult a professional for the serious tasks, and focus on your creative play, which doesn’t necessarily have to be connected to the other.

That’s exactly what I mentioned, see "disaster". 😉

May I ask how your house is designed?

Yes, but that doesn’t really help here.
Semi-detached house, almost square, simple and practical with 8.95 x 9.50 m (29.4 x 31.2 ft) footprint, offset shed roof (15°/20°) on a slight slope. 130 m² (1,400 sq ft) living space on ground and upper floor and basement 70 m² (750 sq ft), half of which is garage + workbench (old kitchen installed) + "material storage" (tools / paints / plaster / garden furniture / table tennis board / lawn mower / bikes / tires / central vacuum / small wood storage for wood stove), utility/technical room total 8.5 m² (91 sq ft) with access to garage, cellar 17 m² (183 sq ft), rest is hallway/stairs area.
Ground floor: living/dining/kitchen and small pantry total 50 m² (538 sq ft) in L-shape, WC 2.5 m² (27 sq ft), office 6 m² (65 sq ft), rest corridor/hall/wardrobe/stairs with window.
Upper floor: 2 children’s rooms each 18 m² (194 sq ft) (one has an additional 8 m² (86 sq ft) gallery floor accessible by space-saving stairs, the other children’s room actually used as guest room), 1 bedroom/dressing room 17 m² (183 sq ft), bathroom 7 m² (75 sq ft) (footprint 9 m² (97 sq ft)), rest corridor/stairs.
Room heights basement/garage: 2.2 m (7.2 ft), ground floor: 2.50 m (8.2 ft), upper floor: children’s room sides 2.4 to 4.1 m (7.9 to 13.5 ft), bedroom/bathroom side 1.7 to 2.6 m (5.6 to 8.5 ft).

And we do not have too much space...

I didn’t say anything different, see "catastrophe".

You were more aggressive than constructive—and you criticized Steffi33’s floor plan of the catastrophe heavily without proper research :-(

Were the dimensions of the plot mentioned anywhere here? The numbers can’t be clearly identified on either my phone or computer. To be honest, I’m too lazy to add up the house measurements and do the cross-multiplications.
