Hello,
we are planning to build a bungalow-style log house. Our current issue is this:
Initially, we wanted to build a bungalow with 113sqm (1,216 sq ft) and an attic conversion (38° hipped roof). Since this turned out to be too expensive, we thought of making the bungalow larger and moving the two upstairs rooms down to the ground floor.
Do you possibly have some ideas for the floor plan? I have listed the rooms with their approximate sizes.
We want to divide the bungalow into three sections: on the right side, the parents’ area with bathroom and office; in the middle, the living room, dining room, and kitchen; and on the left side, the two children’s bedrooms.
Living room: approx. 25-30sqm (270-320 sq ft)
Dining room: approx. 15-20sqm (160-215 sq ft)
Kitchen: approx. 8sqm (85 sq ft)
Utility room: approx. 10sqm (110 sq ft)
Parents’ bedroom: approx. 13-14sqm (140-150 sq ft)
Bathroom: approx. 9-10sqm (95-110 sq ft)
Child 1 bedroom: approx. 14-15sqm (150-160 sq ft)
Child 2 bedroom: approx. 14-15sqm (150-160 sq ft)
Guest toilet: approx. 2sqm (20 sq ft)
Hallway: approx. 5-6sqm (55-65 sq ft)
__________
Total: 135-140sqm (1,450-1,510 sq ft)
Do you have any suggestions on how to design the floor plan?

Construction company? You mean representatives of log houses? By the way, I believe you can achieve a similar indoor climate with brick, clay plaster, and exposed wooden beam ceilings. But well – everyone has their own preferences 😀
A bungalow with 140 m² (1507 sq ft) cheaper than a gable roof house with 140 m² (1507 sq ft)? I would at least be a bit skeptical, I think.
Take a very close look at the scope of services to see what needs to be done on-site and what is included – you don’t want any unpleasant surprises like having to build the foundation slab yourself or having to rent the heating system or similar tricks.

This is not a sales representative. We are building with Natura Holzbau, which is located nearby, and they offer turnkey construction.There is a big difference between your first post and your last one. The initial post sounded like a non-binding inquiry – it made me think the plot of land was not even secured yet.
Now you’re saying that you already have the company you or your parents want to build with. So you have already made a decision. I assume the land is already owned, and all other companies have been considered?
I just took a look at “your” company and their website: I would be surprised if they don’t have an architect on staff to design you an attractive house. They don’t just have show homes; they also do custom builds.
A bungalow for four people should not be a problem for an architect, but I still doubt it will be cheaper 😉 But if that’s what they say?!
