Hello dear house building forum,
I registered today because I applied for a building plot in my community and I am hopeful to get it.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size = 700 sqm (8,900 sq ft)
Slope = No
Floor area ratio = 0.4
Floor space index = 1 story (bungalow - no basement)
Building window, building line and boundary = Building boundary according to § 23 Land Use Ordinance (garage on boundary, house set back 3 m (10 ft))
Edge development = No
Number of parking spaces = 2
Number of stories = 1 story (bungalow)
Roof type
Style = Gable roof
Orientation = South
Maximum height / limits = 6.5 m (21 ft)
Additional requirements
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type = open, gable roof or hip roof, bungalow
Basement, stories = No
Number of people, age = 2 people, 40 and 38 years old
Room requirements on ground floor, upper floor = Entrance hall, WC, utility room, pantry; bathroom, office; kitchen; dining-living room and 1 bedroom
Office: family use or home office? = family use
Guests per year = none (maximum 1)
Open or closed architecture = open
Conservative or modern design = rather modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island = open kitchen
Number of dining seats = 4
Fireplace = No
Music / stereo wall = wall for large TV
Balcony, roof terrace = No
Garage, carport = garage for 1 car
Vegetable garden, greenhouse = garden
Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be = open design because I might use several air-to-air heat pumps instead of one air-to-water heat pump (still at the beginning of heating planning)
[U]House Design
Who created the plan:
- Builder’s planner = currently me
- Architect = currently none
- Do-it-yourself = Yes, everything possible and permitted
What do you particularly like? Why? = currently unsure
What don’t you like? Why? = currently unsure
Price estimate from architect/planner: no price available
Personal price limit for the house including equipment: €220,000
Preferred heating technology: air-to-air heat pumps (split air conditioning units)
If you have to give up, which details / extensions
- can you give up: pantry
- can’t you give up: office
Why was the design created as it is now? For example
Standard design from the planner? No
Which wishes were implemented by the architect? all wishes implemented, no architect
A mix of many examples from various magazines? No
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion? The design is just an idea, I am looking forward to criticism and suggestions
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
I want to minimize square meters wasted on hallways and use the bungalow’s space effectively.

But I’m not sure if a house made of bricks, beams, and, for example, thick sandwich panels on top can meet the KfW 55 standard. You have to meet the requirements of the standard Building Energy Act, which is so close to EH55 that new constructions at EH55 level are no longer eligible for KfW funding. By the way, that’s actually the only advantage of building a house today that will be needed in twelve years: you don’t have to comply with the regulations for 2035 yet ;-)

Robert Bau20249 Jul 2023 14:19Yes, you are right, that would indeed be an important reason to start soon and, for example, rent the bungalow to a retired couple.
Because of the slight slope, I just visited the building site and took some photos:
From the street side: (it doesn’t actually look this tilted on site...)

hanghaus20239 Jul 2023 14:28Have you ever searched for bungalow floor plans online? There are also some companies that offer shell houses.
The contour lines don’t lie. Within the building area, it’s 1 meter (3.3 feet). On plot #3, it’s nearly 2 meters (6.6 feet).

Robert Bau20249 Jul 2023 14:31That would be the plot across the street: (very flat, solid bedrock, gravel supplied by the construction company) was used as the storage area

The contour lines don’t lie. In the building area, it’s 1 meter (3 feet 3 inches). On plot #3, almost 2 meters (6 feet 6 inches).I feel like I’ve reviewed around 1000 floor plans already (which is why I’m also good at creating my own 😉
The photo from the street looks pretty wild... I took another one that I’ll upload as well.
I’ve also considered timber frame construction. I’ve already talked to "bauen-wie-wir" and they would build me the 11 x 12 meter (36 x 39 feet) bungalow as a shell house (external walls, interior walls, triple-glazed windows, front door, hip roof without foundation slab) for 169,500€.
