ᐅ Bungalow Floor Plan Design Optimization

Who realistically looks out into the garden while watching TV in the evening?

Our TV is facing the garden, and it works great in the evenings. Our floor plan is optimal just for us.
The large open-plan living area faces directly south, and the terrace and garden serve as an extension of the living space.
Our children have already moved out.

We do. It’s fun when the neighbor’s cat sneaks past the window or the squirrels peek inside.
We don’t just sit on the sofa watching TV; sometimes we read. Then a quick glance at the greenery is always nice.

@Nida35a feel free to take a look at Landhaus-Brodowin... it’s a very good combination of an age-friendly bungalow plus additional rooms in the pitched roof. I think it’s at least a great idea and a playground for further considerations 😉

This was the kind of concept we had in mind during planning— a holiday home, open and oriented toward the garden, but 98% of our time is actually spent downstairs.
Over the weekend, our grandson set up his Motor City on the gallery and could only be coaxed down with food.

The funniest thing would be if the squirrel looked in just when we’re watching Gefragt-gejagt: Hobiger and I like squirrels ;-)

There isn’t much enthusiasm for the office, which is okay. However, the office in my old apartment was about the same size, and I felt quite comfortable there.

Well, those 5 sqm (54 sq ft) are missing somewhere else then. This office takes up a window, a door, and significantly, a traffic path to that door.

I only want to equip the wardrobe with a clothes rail.

Clothes rail and shelves for shoes: perfect! We have that too, and I wouldn’t want to miss it.

I suggest you find an affordable, standard general contractor (GC) that you can afford. They usually offer a common 100 sqm (1,076 sq ft) simple floor plan with two bedrooms, which can be slightly upgraded, for example by moving walls, swapping the utility room and bathroom, or adding 10 sqm (108 sq ft) of extension.
The site plan is important to know for the supply lines to the utility room.
If you learn anything new, you could post a floor plan from a GC here that might be suitable. With a tight budget, you usually don’t go for a custom floor plan but rather one offered by the GC that can typically be modified without extra cost.

I’m curious how you have arranged the sofa, glass wall, and TV.
