Hello!
We are planning to build a single-family bungalow with about 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) of floor area.
The staircase to the attic will only be installed to provide easier access since the main storage room is located there ;-)
The arrangement of the kitchen cabinets is just a rough indication.
To give an idea of the layout orientation: The garages are located on the north side of the house.
I am open to suggestions and currently a bit stuck because the room layout is determined by the cardinal directions as intended and I believe it is not entirely wrong.
Plot size 500 m² (5,380 sq ft)
Slope no, completely flat
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type bungalow, hip roof
Basement, number of floors no basement, one floor
Number of occupants, age 2, ages 72 and 74
Room requirements on the ground floor living room including kitchen, bedroom, office (later usable as a child’s room), utility room, bathroom, guest toilet
Office: family use or home office? family use
Overnight guests per year 1
Open or closed layout closed, except for living room/kitchen
Conservative or modern construction conservative
Open kitchen, kitchen island yes open kitchen, no kitchen island
Number of dining seats 6-8
Fireplace no
Music/sound wall no
Balcony, roof terrace no
Garage, carport double garage
Utility garden, greenhouse yes
House Design
Planning by: Do-it-yourself
What do you particularly like? Why? What do you dislike? Why? Possibly the entrance area to the living room, bathroom fittings
Price estimate according to architect/designer: 270,000
Personal price limit for the house including equipment: 320,000
Preferred heating technology: gas or air-to-water heat pump, preferably air-to-water heat pump (very low hot water demand)
If you had to give up something, on which details/extensions
-could you do without:
-could you not do without:
Why did the design end up like this?
Room size of the bedroom specified and orientation of rooms according to cardinal directions
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
1. Is the floor plan practical and easy to implement?
2. Is the floor plan accessible for people with limited mobility so that a walker can be used everywhere (wheelchair access is not prioritized)?
3. What would you change?
4. Is the price estimate and limit reasonable? (KFW 55 standard)
I am looking forward to your suggestions and assessments.
I just realized we planned a small change that is not yet reflected in the plan. There will be access from the utility room to the garage so that it can be used as a “buffer zone.” The door to the garage remains in this location.

We don’t have two cars, only one! The first garage attached to the house is simply planned as storage for bicycles, garden furniture, etc. I see. In that case, you should definitely take a look at @Nordlys’s house. There, there isn’t even a garage for the car, just a workshop garage. But even if you want two garages, I wouldn’t design them as a double garage for this purpose (especially not with a double door). There is also a sort of airlock function in the utility room, and the main entrance for guests isn’t used daily.
And I think it was in @Steffi33’s house, where (even in a bungalow with an attic used only for storage) the stairs to the attic start right in the utility room. This way, the homeowner keeps it away from the more decor-sensitive areas.
Having personal experience as a homeowner is helpful. It allows for much more sensible planning. Sometimes this even means reconsidering the KfW55 standard.

Thank you for the suggestions of houses to check out. I will definitely do that.
What was meant by KfW 55? Should I be reasonable and build to KfW 70, or think ahead to the successors and aim for KfW 40? I would only choose KfW 55 to be somewhat future-proof. I’m just as uncertain about that as I am about the central mechanical ventilation system. We’re used to opening windows to ventilate, but what will come after us?

Please show the entire plot, including the connection to the road from which the driveway leads. Which of the two roads do you plan to use as the driveway access to your property?
When you say the highway is 50 m (55 yards) away, do you mean it runs at a distance of 50 m (55 yards) from there? What kind of noise or soundproofing (including terrain features) will be in place between the property and the highway?

How was the KFW 55 meant?

The road to the north is the one we will be connected to, via the existing access road to our current house.
Yes, at a distance of 50 m (55 yards) is the left edge of the highway carriageway. The highway is on an embankment about 7 m (23 feet) high and has a noise barrier approximately 5 m (16 feet) tall.
Therefore, even if ventilation is needed, a central mechanical ventilation system will be installed rather than a decentralized one. I believe the openings in the wall transmit outside noise inside (in the case of decentralized ventilation).
