Hello, a question for bungalow residents.

We are building a U-shaped bungalow.

Our hallway is 6.40 m (21 feet) long and 1.20 m (4 feet) wide.

Now I’m wondering if it feels like a narrow corridor? I know we will have to accept some compromises anyway, but what do the other bungalow residents think?

Do you perhaps have some photos of your hallways and the measurements?

Basically, I think it’s okay in relation to the house size (150 m² (1,615 ft²)).

Thanks to all of you

We already mentioned this to you in your house discussion thread: a) the hallway is narrow and b) too tight.

1.2 meters (4 feet) won’t work. Lay it flat on the ground with a rope. Place a garden cushion upright on both the left and right sides, then you’ll get a better sense of it.

I now have a width of 1.20 meters (4 feet) but only 3.5 to 4 meters (11.5 to 13 feet) in length, which fits.

6.4 meters (21 feet) is quite different.

Nordlys, what are your width and length?

I am currently on vacation in Denmark.

We originally decided not to talk about the upcoming build, but as usual, that didn’t happen.

This kitchen pass-through is 1.20 m (4 feet) and looks good, but having a hallway there is hard to imagine. Maybe someone has pictures of their own hallway.
