Greetings from the North,

I hope you can help or advise me. We are fortunate to be able to build a bungalow due to the size of the plot (1000 sqm / 10,764 sq ft), measuring about 27 m x 39 m (89 ft x 128 ft). I have tried to put something together and am looking forward to any help, ideas, or criticism. This is the first draft; the appointment with the architect is in two weeks. For now, I’m not focusing on the detailed specifics but mainly want to know if the planning makes sense and what could or should be changed.

It was and still is important to us to separate the children’s area from the parents’ area. The utility room should be close to the kitchen and guest bathroom with shower, as my husband sometimes needs to leave quickly for emergency duties and may need to shower after.

I added a sliding door to the living room, though it could also remain open to make the space feel more open. I think the biggest challenge with a bungalow is often the corridor since it tends to be quite dark, but at the same time, you don’t want to waste too much square footage on hallways or entrance areas.

I don’t want to write too much here but would just like to ask what you think about it?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
