If you have to give up anything, which details/extensions

What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?

Are there any experiences with the Vaillant flexotherm exclusive with uniSTOR 300 l (79 gal)?

Vinyl flooring or parquet?

Ceiling spotlights in the hallway loft from Werkaus, or better to install yourself?

I would really appreciate tips and your opinions about the floor plan!

Best regards, Eckert

You’ll need to explain that in more detail. 🙄

If everything is already finalized, you’re bringing the plans too late to the table.
There’s no collective pat on the back for this floor plan, as you’ve noticed.

I also find the living/dining/kitchen layout kind of “strange.” Basically, these are three separate rooms without doors.

We wanted to keep the option open in case we eventually get tired of the open entrance area.

And basically, we do like the floor plan. Switching the bedrooms, etc., I still need to discuss with my wife—that’s definitely something to consider.

It’s just not standard… but that doesn’t say anything about whether it’s good or bad. Something isn’t strange just because it’s not standard 😉

Is this an architect from the home builder?

Are only bungalows built in the surrounding area?

An independent architect who often collaborates with the construction company.

There are several bungalows around, but also regular two-story houses... However, the immediate neighbors are bungalows as well.

The roof is higher than the exterior wall… it looks like a hat set too low… I think the proportions are a bit off. The roof should have a steeper pitch.

I didn’t say, “it is strange,” but rather, “I find it strange.”
To me, 60 sqm (645 sq ft) of living/dining/kitchen space is hardly functional if, when dining (a bit exaggerated here), I’m half sitting in the kitchen/hallway/vestibule. That area feels like a thoroughfare.

Bright, light-filled rooms are great, but not like that.
