Lemming&F3 Apr 2019 08:25Hello everyone,
Yesterday ended up being an unplanned day off, so we made a trip to Ikea and other stores.
We’re glad to see such ongoing active participation here, especially regarding the floor plan suggestions. I’m going to read through all the posts carefully later.
Here is my first impression, which I noted on my phone while looking at the recent floor plans:
“Thoughtful design but somewhat complicated with many corners.”
However, we will review all ideas thoroughly today. I actually like the entrance area combined with the guest/Leo bathroom.
The external dimensions of my draft are approximately 14 x 9 m (46 x 30 feet).
Best regards

Lemming&F3 Apr 2019 08:56What immediately stands out to me, without looking at the room layout, is that with our original orientation, we have a nice south-facing terrace and also a view of the entire garden from the living area. However, there is no space for a carport in front of the house, and I would lose part of the beautiful garden again.
If I rotate the house, for example like in ypg’s suggestion, I do have space next to the house for a carport, but the terrace would move to the side, and I would lose the view of most of the garden. Additionally, southwest would be unfavorable since the only neighboring house is located directly across the street in that direction, which might mean less light. Of course, you could mirror the layout so the terrace faces southeast.
It’s all not so simple.

j.bautsch3 Apr 2019 09:41I would make the wall between Leo’s room and the living room quite thick, otherwise he would hear everything that’s being chatted about between the parents in the evening :P but overall a very successful design.
I agree completely about the dining table; it needs natural daylight. But that also works in Katja’s design in post #66.

Regards Is the plot 22 m (72 feet) wide? Then you’re just 1 m (3 feet) short of placing the garage in the northeast? That’s unfortunate. Could you somehow gain that extra meter—maybe by shortening the house by a few centimeters or does the plot possibly offer a few more centimeters?
Where did your general contractor’s planner place the garage? Also on the west side? I wouldn’t be too happy with that either—it would block the evening sun from the terrace.
I think the concern about the shadow cast by the neighboring house, which is located across the street and at least 3 m (10 feet) away from the boundary, is unfounded. Or is it a high-rise?

In a bungalow, you’re naturally closer together. I really wanted to get the west-facing sun into Leo’s room, while still positioning it near the entrance so his girlfriend could sneak in later when the parents are already asleep.

I think the concern about shadow from the neighbor’s house, which is across the street and at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from the boundary, is nonsense. Or is the neighbor’s house a high-rise?Yes, 22 meters (72 feet) and a bit squeezed. If it’s only about a few centimeters (inches) in the end, we can probably adjust the house a little.
We haven’t really considered the carport with the planner yet since we haven’t decided on a builder and haven’t gone into details so far.
To be honest, we also didn’t realize how close everything actually is.
The street/driveway is only on the north and west sides, so the access was planned from there. Unfortunately, this conflicts with the preferred orientation of the house.
At the moment, if the orientation stays the same, a west-facing driveway would be preferred.
A carport isn’t very tall anyway, just like the bungalow next door. Would it really block that much light?
What really bothers us is that the carport is about 6 meters (20 feet) deep and thus extends nearly 3 meters (10 feet) beyond the house boundary.
Regards
