ᐅ Bungalow, 10 meters wide... does anyone have pictures?

Hello,

we are considering building on a plot where, after accounting for the garage and setback from the property line, only 10 meters (33 feet) of width remain for the house. The entrance would also need to be positioned accordingly.

We especially like bungalows with a covered entrance area and columns, but I’m not sure if that style works well with a relatively narrow bungalow and whether the rooms can be arranged efficiently, since the hallway tends to be located centrally because of the front door. This is how it is in most of the houses we have seen so far, but those are usually much wider.

The plot extends 32 meters (105 feet) deep, so there is space to build towards the back.

Does anyone have pictures, links, or even better, have personally built something like this?

Technically, it still remains a bungalow with an extended attic, doesn’t it? And if the development plan only allows bungalows, it does make a difference whether I have a bungalow with a converted attic or a one-and-a-half-story house.
There is no official technical definition of "bungalow," which is why development plans do not use that term. The development plan specifies the maximum number of floors, roof type, and roof pitch. Only if it states "I" and "FD," do you know that converting the attic is not possible.

Thanks, learned something new again.

@TE: Just search for "bungalow attic" in the image search, and you'll find floor plans as well as photos of already built bungalows.

Well... we built something kind of similar.

More precisely: in post #579 https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/Haus-bilderthread-zeigt-her-eure-hausbilder.14011/page-97#post-203393 or here https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/Kühlschrank-in-wand-integrieren.14873/#post-121399, you can even see it in color and furnished – although it looks like a simply designed plan, it is actually a piece of great artistry.

Thanks to the cross shape, the floor plan works well instead of resembling a bowling alley. It also stays within the desired maximum width; next to the utility room, there is space for a carport that is even wider than the minimum required width.

We are also planning a similar bungalow with a converted attic, measuring 10.5 x 16 m (34.4 x 52.5 ft), even with the entrance on the narrow side. If your entrance is on the longer side, that’s not a problem at all. Why do you think that wouldn’t work?

Thanks for your feedback.
We are still quite early in the process... I'm unsure if it might look strange later on.
Do you already have floor plans? How are you handling the garage, or are you planning one next to the house?
