Hello,
we are still in the planning phase and are having some difficulties progressing. Although the design is already quite good in many aspects, it doesn’t yet fully match what we envision.
The plan is for a bungalow of about 150sqm (1,615 sq ft). Having separate parents’ and children’s areas was important to us. The kitchen should be closed off, and there should be a covered terrace.

Development plan/restrictions
899sqm (9,676 sq ft)
slight slope
bungalow

Homeowners’ requirements
Rather Mediterranean style
No basement, bungalow
3 people, ages 36 / 29 / 3
150sqm (1,615 sq ft)
No office
Guest room/ironing room
conservative or modern architecture: We like to combine old and new
open kitchen, kitchen island: closed
Number of dining seats: Kitchen 3, dining area preferably 8–10
Fireplace: Yes
Balcony
Garage: Double garage with space

House design
Who created the design: Floor plan from us, implemented by a designer
What do you particularly like? Why?
What don’t you like? Why? We are not quite satisfied with the children’s room as the bed is in the wrong place, and we think a 1.40 x 2.00 meter (4.6 x 6.6 ft) bed should fit in there eventually.
The biggest problem at the moment is with the kitchen/living/dining area layout, as we can’t find a good position for the dining table. Somehow the table is always in the way however we turn it. If we swap the living and dining rooms, we then have problems with fitting the couch and TV wall unit.

Price estimate from architect/designer: 300,000
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 350,000
Preferred heating system: Gas heating with solar collectors on the roof for hot water

Plot number 18 is ours.

You are also welcome to point out any other mistakes or issues we might have made or incorporated. Best regards, Alex

Many children sneak into their parents’ bed at night –

No sneaking. They sleep there all the time.
Well, times change. In the past, everything was separated right away; now it’s all about cuddling.

Thank you all for the many responses.
We like the suggestion with the children’s room and will pass it on as such.
We want to keep the separate area for parents and child/guest.
And if someone comes upstairs, it will be us as parents with a small terrace and a hot tub.
Feel free to make changes to our floor plan; a picture often says more than a long text.
Best regards, Alex

Then make the terrace stable. Recently, a balcony gave way under the weight of a paddling pool.

Seriously, when expanding the attic, it needs to be taken into account. You will need a staircase.
Take a look at Rensch-Haus Madeira. It has one less room, but a spacious hallway and storage room that provide space for a staircase, with a separate child’s room (which is really rare in standard floor plans).
It felt very spacious. Possibly reduce the size of the parents’ bedroom a bit and make the kitchen and technical room larger.
On the ground floor, you can move around easily with a walker. I would find that really good.

Gussek Haus Jura is an L-shaped bungalow with an expanded attic.

Hello, I looked at both plans. We absolutely dislike it when you enter a house and immediately encounter two doors leading to the parents’ and children’s bedrooms within a meter, that’s a deal breaker for us.
I’m attaching a picture of a floor plan idea we had before, until we came up with the idea of having a diagonal entrance. We liked that this design didn’t provide direct access to the parents’ and children’s areas, but I’ll explain that briefly below. Unfortunately, there are no dimensions. Please disregard the pantry.

Hallways take up space

Why didn’t it turn out that way? Without dimensions, it’s difficult to say. The parent room should be arranged differently.
It looks better that way.

Some separate when it’s only about cuddling.
