micric3Hello forum community,
after gathering a few more ideas—and having received and tried to incorporate good feedback from previous posts—I would like to ask for your feedback on the current floor plan and your general opinion of the bungalow on our 1000m² (10,764 sq ft) plot with existing buildings.
The floor plan was created with RoomSketcher. I have tried to include quite a few pieces of furniture (kitchen is still missing) as references. The windows for the bedrooms and bathroom are not yet finalized, as I don’t have ideas for them yet.
Attachments:
1.) Plot image + orientation
2.) Original building permit/planning permission (BU) after I designed/modified the draft
3.) My draft (with RoomSketcher)
Zoning plan / restrictions
Plot size: 1000m² (10,764 sq ft)
House dimensions: 15.87 m x 9.50 m (52.1 ft x 31.2 ft) (specified by BU to keep price close)
Slope: No
Parking spaces: 0
Number of floors: Bungalow (single story)
Roof type: Hip roof or gable roof (BU includes hip roof in price)
Orientation: Entrance west, living room southeast facing, dining room southwest facing
Maximum height / limits
Other requirements: must adapt to existing buildings
Owners’ requirements
Number of people, ages: 4 people (2 x 40 years, 2 x 3 years)
Office: In the outbuilding
Guests per year: Max. 2
Open or closed layout: undecided
Conservative or modern style: doesn’t matter
Open kitchen, kitchen island: sliding door, probably L- or U-shaped kitchen
Number of dining seats: 4 in kitchen, possibly 6-8 in living room
Fireplace: possibly a wood-burning stove
Garage/Carport: along the access driveway
House design
Who planned it: based on the Bungalow 131 floor plan by Town & Country. Draft designed by myself using RoomSketcher
- Planner of a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why?
- Access from the west
- simple and compact
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 215,000
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 250,000
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump (either Vaillant aroSplit or Vaillant recoCompact)
If you had to give up some features or expansions, which ones?
- Can give up: size of the living room
- Cannot give up: 2nd bathroom
Why is the design the way it is now?
- Position on the plot
- Location relative to existing outbuilding
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
- Is the west orientation of the children’s rooms better than east orientation?
- Is the bedroom too narrow considering the ~2 x 2 m (6.6 x 6.6 ft) bed?
- Should the kitchen have its own small dining area?
- Size and number of windows for the living room with southeast orientation
- How should the living room furniture be arranged?
- Should the living and dining rooms be swapped? (SE <-> SW orientation)
--> Dining room faces southwest to see who is arriving
- Is it better to have one floor-to-ceiling window (which size?) or two windows in the children’s rooms?

Four major issues that immediately stand out to me:
- The dining table in the living room is really obstructive.
- The dining table in the kitchen seems redundant.
- The kitchen lacks any other fixtures or fittings, making the plan almost impossible to evaluate or discuss.
- The bathroom layout appears to be, to put it mildly, just a sketch.

Thank you for linking to the original thread. In the end, I’m posting exactly this unfinished floor plan/layout to get some feedback on it.
However, I’m not sure whether the overall concept is okay or if I really need to plan my kitchen first before creating a kitchen layout, following the principle "design follows function."
Aren’t dining tables almost always redundant, or does the majority here really only have one dining table that is used both for special occasions/guests and for daily meals?

It’s fine if there is a separate dining room, but in this case, in my opinion, it doesn’t make sense.micric3 schrieb:
Dining tables are almost always redundant.It becomes particularly noticeable when the duplication occurs within three meters (10 feet).micric3 schrieb:
Or whether I really need to plan my kitchen first before I can create a kitchen layout, like "design follows function."The arrangement of appliances and workspaces already has a strong influence on how the room should be best sized.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
