Hello, I would like to hear your opinions. What do you think? Are there any suggestions for improvement? The west side faces open fields, so we wanted the living room to be oriented that way.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 900 sqm (9,688 sq ft)
Flat land
Floor area ratio 0.4
Building line and boundary: 3 meters (10 feet)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 1
Roof style: gable roof and flat roof
Architectural style: modern
Orientation: west
Client Requirements
Small office, only for emergencies
3 people aged 38, 38, and 2
No overnight guests
Large kitchen with dining area, separate living room, covered terrace
House Design
- Do-it-yourself
Why is the design as it is now?
We considered all the desired rooms.
Access from terrace directly to kitchen and bathroom.
The main house will have a gable roof to allow attic space for storing boxes. The pull-down staircase can be installed in the long hallway. The part with the covered terrace will have a flat roof. However, we are not sure if having two types of roof will be expensive.
We also like a modern gable roof with trapezoidal metal roofing. This should be quite affordable… does anyone have experience with that?
I attached a picture of various houses that inspired us.
Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost? We are still very early in the process and many builders are reluctant to provide quotes due to uncertain material prices.
Construction is planned for 2023.

Yes, the cervical spine is still a bit of a concern for me. For the attic conversion, we are planning to add an extra storage room.
The house will be connected to district heating, so the technical equipment will be minimal. We might need to find space for a buffer tank, otherwise just water, electricity, and media connections.
I’m attaching the current floor plan. We have about 135 square meters (1450 square feet) of living space and plan to do the attic conversion ourselves.

Would it possibly be sensible to design the floor plan with future extension potential in mind?
So that, if needed, you could reasonably add two or three more rooms (or a small secondary dwelling) beside the house in 10 or 30 years?

@Nordlys do you have a reinforced concrete ceiling?No. It’s made of wood with Knauf insulation inside, boards on top to walk on, and drywall underneath as the ceiling. Why would a bungalow need a concrete ceiling?Z
