Hello,
we have finalized the floor plan for our project and tried to incorporate feedback/criticism from the previous thread. A new thread was also necessary to include relevant information in the initial post.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 1000 m² (10,764 sq ft)
External dimensions of the house: 16 m x 9.5 m (52.5 ft x 31.2 ft) (these were specified by the construction company to stay as close as possible to the budget)
Slope: No
Number of parking spaces: 0
Number of floors: Bungalow
Roof type: Hip roof, gable roof, or shed roof
Orientation: Entrance on the east, living room facing west, dining room facing southwest
Additional requirements: Must blend in with the existing building
Utility connections: Electricity and wastewater/water connections come from the driveway on the west side
Client requirements
Number of people, ages: 4 people (2 x 40 years, 2 x 3 years)
Office: In the outbuilding
Guests per year: Maximum 2
Open or closed layout: Open
Conservative or modern architectural style: Either
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Probably U-shaped kitchen, open to alternatives
Number of dining seats: Possibly 2–4 casual spots in the kitchen; otherwise 6–8 in the dining room
Fireplace: Yes, as a room divider between dining and living room
Garage, carport: On the driveway
House design
Who designed it:
- Based on the bungalow 131 floor plan from Town & Country
- Design planned independently using RoomSketcher
What do you particularly like? Why?
- Room layout (size)
- Room divider between kitchen, dining room, and living room (L-shape)
- No hallway
- Open area as a transition space between kitchen and living room
Cost estimate from architect/planner: 215,000
Personal budget limit for the house, including fittings: 250,000
Preferred heating system: Air-to-water heat pump (either Vaillant aroSplit or Vaillant FlexoCompact)
Why is the design as it is now?
- Dissatisfaction with the designs created in the old thread

- Why do you think a small bathroom won’t work? Where do you get your experience from? Well, just take a look at the dimensions of standard toilets and showers. You planned the room with a length of 2.2 m (7.2 ft) – this is the raw structural measurement, by the way. Subtract a shower tray of 0.9 m (35 inches) and you’re left with 1.3 m (4.3 ft). Now subtract a reasonable door width of at least 0.8 m (31.5 inches), and you have 0.5 m (20 inches) left for the toilet itself. The toilet also requires a pre-wall installation system that will take up about 15 cm (6 inches), and tiles plus plaster will reduce space further. Do you plan to climb over the toilet?

j.bautsch6 Aug 2019 15:11That layout generally doesn’t work. Do you really consider a bathroom functional if you have to fall over the toilet?
Here is a to-scale sketch, still using rough construction dimensions (so plaster and tiles still need to be subtracted). And you really want to shower here??? Washing your hands would cause flooding, and you can hardly fit a towel. At least with stomach flu you can vomit from the toilet into the shower (the sink is too small)....

It simply doesn’t work. You end up with your chin on the sink. And what’s the point of the shower? Now you need it just to brush your teeth.
Apart from that, there are technical standards today (not in older buildings) that must be followed.
Honestly, I don’t even know why you’re bringing experience into this when the issues are obvious.

The cabin is simply too small for four people, no matter how you look at it. Where is the storage space anyway?..In the kitchen! In the middle! It's huge
