Hello community,
I would appreciate it if you could take a look at the floor plan. We’re not completely sure yet. Perhaps we are simply overwhelmed by the freedom of choice when building a new house. The plot is only verbally reserved—the planner said a bungalow (our preference) would be possible.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 740m2 (7,965 sq ft)
Slope: no
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Building envelope, building line and boundary: The building envelope of 12 x 15m (39 x 49 ft) would be fully used by the bungalow. On the garage side, it’s 5m (16 ft) to the plot boundary, on the entrance side 3m (10 ft). The eastern property boundary runs slightly diagonal and narrows to just over 5m (16 ft) at the narrowest point.
Parking spaces: 1 garage, 1 parking space – The plot is located at the end of a dead-end street, so we need to be able to turn around on the property. I rarely drive but could imagine it might be quite uncomfortable or tight in front of the entrance area.
Number of floors: 1
Roof style: hip roof
Orientation: The garden faces northeast
Client Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type
Basement, floors:
Number of people, age: total 4 people (2 children)
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor
Office: home office
Overnight guests per year: maybe 5
Open floor plan
Conservative or modern design
Kitchen in L-shape
Number of dining seats: we would like to easily accommodate 8 people, although usually there will only be 4 of us
Fireplace: no
Additional wishes / special features / daily routine: I have concerns especially about the north-facing orientation. It might also be important that I work in a laboratory and have no natural light during the entire day. At the same time, I am not a sun lover—bright is enough for me. We are usually up quite early.
House Design
Planning done by: a mix of architect, ourselves, and an original floor plan
We are unsure about the entrance area. It is already narrow at the beginning, but the 2.5m (8 ft) should provide enough space. The layout of the living room also differs somewhat from standard floor plans, but we found it generally suitable.
Personal budget limit for the house including fixtures and fittings: 350,000
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump
The clouds can be ignored. The windows are not yet finalized, and we will probably forgo a pantry, incorporating it instead in the utility room (if we need one at all).
Best regards

Why don't you show your plot of land, including the location of the currently planned house?I don’t have that. Only separate parts.

Somehow, I find the building envelope generally difficult to deal with.And I’m even more at a loss—I’m not familiar with it at all. I also don’t know about floor area ratio and plot ratio. I can’t work like this ;-)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Well, I don’t know it either. Plot ratio and floor space index neither. I can’t work like that ;-)Hello, the plot ratio is 0.4 and the floor space index is 0.8.

So, a bungalow for four people is quite a challenge. We also have one, but with a correspondingly large building area, and even then, space was tight for us. We had to give up having a home office. Otherwise, I have seen much worse floor plans. I don’t really mind the access to the parents' bedroom through the living room. We had that in our apartment back then, and it never bothered us.
How old are the children? The amount of space needed in the hallway depends on that. Especially with toddlers, you do need a bit more room.
Also consider whether you want to plan a staircase to the attic now. We have an attic hatch and I regret not investing in a staircase right away. I have to go up there so often… but of course, it’s also a question of your budget.
