ᐅ Bungalow – approx. 146 m² – Suggestions for Improvement

Unfortunately, the living room wouldn’t work for me either. The dining table is squeezed into the corner, and anyone sitting at the lower side risks burning themselves on the fireplace.
As a guest, standing almost directly in the kitchen upon entering gives the impression that you are expected to help with the dishes.

If it were mine, the island would be removed in favor of a large family table. It would look something like this, with the master area tidied up and an inviting double door leading into the living space:

wow katja, I'll take the house just like that :P

No way. We would definitely build something nicer there with one and a half stories, a gable roof, and a garden, right?

This house deserves first prize in the category: "how to completely cover an 860m² (9,260 sq ft) plot with only 140m² (1,500 sq ft) of living space."

I might be paying only about one-fortieth per square meter compared to someone in Munich, where every square meter has to be used to the fullest and a bungalow is hardly feasible at all. Given other land prices, I can understand that such a design might cause some frustration.

You have about 9m² (100 sq ft) each for guest and office rooms. Those are two very small spaces. Combine and use them together as one room of around 14 to 16m² (150 to 170 sq ft). That would be more comfortable for living and breathing for everyone.

Good point, I’ll sketch that out. Also considering the comments on bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom.

There should definitely be an island. A simple kitchen run alone is not enough and doesn’t look very appealing.

We are still seriously considering whether to include a fireplace at all. It’s certainly cozy, but in terms of practicality for the floor plan, probably not (space, too much heat, etc.). It might possibly be an integrated ethanol fireplace.

I basically like the bungalow concept... But I am especially interested in how the carport and parking spaces are supposed to be placed on the plot. There is a street to the north and southeast... or only to the southeast? And, what is oriented north? The floor plan itself or the site plan?

The carport and parking spaces will be placed in the northeast area. Exactly where the driveway including the carport will go still needs to be decided.
There are streets to the north and southeast (cul-de-sac location).
Only the site plan is oriented north, not the floor plan.

Me too! Great floor plan

The whole thing would look something like this, with the parents’ wing already tidied up

I admire your Buddhist calmness when debugging even the most serious design flaws and mental blockages.

Driveway, yes, carport, no: the house already extends fully within the possible building area. Also, the plot seems to be located at a junction, which is likely to impose restrictions regarding the position of the driveway.
