ᐅ 130 m² bungalow with double carport on a 600 m² plot?

25 x 25? I see.

Well, it looks good: access to the plot from the northwest, double carport on the north side. Entrance on the north. Long side of the bungalow facing east (bedrooms), terrace in the southwest, kitchen on the west, utility room in the north, living room in the south.

Recently, several bungalows have been designed here that fit very well on this plot.

Ok ... It's not exactly 25x25, more like a bit stretched. When we stood in front of it, it actually looked almost square. I'll have to measure it properly this weekend. Can you still work with that? Especially since the carport and the house don't have to be rigidly connected, as some might prefer. The main thing is that it fits the plot to maximize the south-facing side and natural light in the living area for comfort.

The Team massiv 120, measuring 14.55 meters (48 feet) by 10 meters (33 feet) plus a six-meter (20 feet) garage, fits well there. Take a look at it on their website. I also find the floor plan quite good. Karsten

So then. Today we received the first drawing from the architect...
We’re not entirely happy since the route from the children’s room to the bathroom is too long.
The draft is meant as a basis for discussion. According to the architect, an L-shaped layout would not be possible with a double carport...

Our initial requirement was basically met. The child’s room should get sunlight, which is not important for the parents... Later (around age 10, he will move to the attic).
But since the distance is quite long, my partner wants to swap the office with the children’s room. The pantry and kitchen would shift slightly upwards. The bathroom and utility room would be exchanged...

What do you think?

I don’t find the proposed layout very optimal. I also think the children’s room feels off in this arrangement. The toilet is too close to the outdoor seating area and the living room. There is a typical bungalow issue with a lack of meaningful zoning.

Without completely redesigning everything, I would move the utility room to where the office is, relocate the office to the children’s room, and switch the children’s room to the utility room. This is without considering the orientation or layout of the utility room’s pipes.

Take another look at post 13 by ypg. That’s how I would do it too.

Is the plan oriented to true north? Or, where is north located?

Ideally, I would start from the top right of the plan with the kitchen, then the office, and then the children's room. This way, the kitchen also opens nicely onto the terrace.
