Slope: no
Site coverage ratio
Floor area ratio: 0.3
Building window, building line and boundary
Edge development
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of storeys: 1
Roof type: hipped roof
Architectural style: bungalow
Orientation
Maximum heights / limits
Additional requirements
Client Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: square bungalow, hipped roof, 25 degree roof pitch
Basement, storeys: no basement
Number of occupants, age: 2 adults, 2 children
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor: 3 bedrooms
Open central day area (kitchen with dining room), living room adjacent

House Design
Who created the design: ourselves
- Architect

Why was the design created this way?
Standard designs from house building companies did not appeal to us.
The property consists of 3 parcels (marked in green)

The older members are being driven away.
@Kahoo @hampshire @ypg @Nordlys are hardly around anymore either.Well, no one from the administration is driving me away. It’s just that after living in the house for five years, you’re usually not building anymore, and some of the new construction questions become less relevant. Also, there is a shift in the forum community and probably in the new construction scene overall. Building has become very expensive, and now it’s mostly wealthy builders, or people who are willing to spend an extra 100,000 or so…. that’s simply no longer my world. So I’m here less often.
Your open-plan room dimensions don’t fit at the front or back.
The kitchen is too dark, too long, and too large for a 135m2 (1453 sq ft) bungalow. Even if you remove the unnecessary pantry and straighten the living room wall, it’s still too much kitchen space.
The living room door should open into the hallway instead. It is oversized for a 135m2 (1453 sq ft) bungalow. You should have at least 250cm (98 inches) of wall space to the left of the door; a bit more would be preferable.
The patio door needs to be moved further to the right side of the plan. The partition wall at 5m (16.4 ft) is completely in the wrong place.
Instead of the pantry, place four 60cm (24 inches) tall cabinets on the back side in the hallway area, remove the storage room, enlarge the cloakroom and/or increase the utility room for a better laundry area—something many overlook or prefer to have a 60m2 (645 sq ft) open-plan room where the washing machine is squeezed into some dark corner.

So, please.
On the topic:
Evelinoz also thinks that “the thing” doesn’t work at all, front or back.
I would always design a bungalow as an L-shaped bungalow, provided the plot allows it.
@Henner77: So far, the requirements are still manageable, so everything is still possible here.
Please make a list of the wishes/requirements.
