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

Oh, you mean that the utility room door starts earlier in the hallway, creating a small foyer-like space before entering the utility room?
Good idea, that would make the hallway significantly shorter.
It could work if the children’s room door is moved forward.

Maybe just move the bathroom forward without the wardrobe. The door to the toilet right at the entrance disrupts my wife’s sense of symmetry.

Our hallway is 8m (26 feet) long and 1m (3 feet) wide. It has never bothered me or made me think about whether it looks like a corridor.

People from Schleswig are even less aware than those from Holstein. It's a bit long and narrow but a great bowling alley... when friends come over, then it's a strike, cheers.

Nothing else going on?
