Hello,

So, I’ll join in as well...

The plan is for a single-story bungalow with a shed roof designed for two people. The roof pitch will be between 3 and 5 degrees, so quite flat, to keep the living room height just under 3 meters (9.8 feet) while allowing for a ceiling height of 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) in the entrance area.
Living, sleeping, office/guest room, and bathroom will face southwest. A glass facade across the entire width of the house is being considered here (similar to the H_F house).
On the northeast side, a garage measuring 9.0 by 7.0 meters (29.5 by 23.0 feet) is planned.
The slab foundation will be an energy-efficient concrete slab with thermal activation and is planned to be ground and polished before the house is erected.
Heating will be provided by a pellet stove in the living room, combined with solar thermal energy and a buffer storage tank.

I’ll upload the floor plan and would appreciate both positive and negative feedback.
Looking forward to a stimulating discussion.

Hello

Here is an update on the current status.
The rough-in installation for heating, ventilation, plumbing, and central vacuum system is complete.
Drywall work is underway.
And the front door has been installed.

If I have understood correctly, the floor construction chosen here (underfloor heating in the form of concrete core activation) does not include a floating screed. Wouldn't this cause issues with impact sound insulation? I always thought that installing a floating screed was practically essential for this purpose... ?

Hello

Impact noise within the living area is not an issue.
Only noise from the garage, for example from a trolley jack with metal wheels, is transmitted through the slab.

Thank you for the feedback! From this, I can probably conclude that impact sound insulation can often be omitted in a bungalow without significant disadvantages. (?)

Hello Wrobel,

What is the roof structure like? Is it a tongue-and-groove boarding over the OSB panels? And were you able to achieve the slight desired roof pitch, or did the flat roof regulations prevent that?
