Hello everyone,
we have received a preliminary design and a quote from our builder. I would like to get your opinion on it.
It is planned as an accessible bungalow (about 131 sqm (1410 sq ft)) with 3 bedrooms and possibly a study room. Previously, instead of the study, there was a slightly larger kitchen and a somewhat bigger living room.
My opinion:
I would make the house a bit narrower on the street side, which would make the bedroom and child’s room 1 slightly smaller. Instead, the living room and kitchen would be extended, allowing the kitchen to be a bit larger (it currently feels too small to me).
On the other side, I have the option to make the carport a bit wider. I am trying to achieve an internal width of 3.5 m (11.5 ft) for the carport (because of wheelchair access).
I will also ask the builder what price difference it would make to have a concrete ceiling with insulation instead of a wooden beam ceiling, a knee wall height of maybe 30 cm (12 inches), and a roof pitch of 40 degrees, so that it would be possible to convert the attic space in the future (maybe after 25–30 years).
I would like to have a carport for two cars parked in tandem with a storage room planned, but I want to handle the construction myself or have it done elsewhere. The builder is asking €14,000 for a single carport with storage, which I think is too expensive.
We would really appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you

The planning is now almost as impractical as the previous one https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/bangalow-grudndriss-barrierefrei.25523/. The maneuvering space in the hallways is now only sufficient for a folding wheelchair. The floor plan does not accommodate a staircase location for an attic conversion, and "in 25-30 years" people tend to replace the house instead.

The maneuvering space in the hallways is now only sufficient for a folding wheelchair. For an attic conversion, the floor plan does not allow for a staircase location, and "in 25-30 years" people tend to move to a new house anyway. I also plan to have the guest toilet removed to make room for a staircase for the attic conversion. But I still need to discuss this with the builder.
I have to look into parking space for the wheelchair.
Thanks for the advice

I need to find out more about parking space for a wheelchair The storage and charging space is sufficient. But I was referring to the maneuvering area. In this hallway, avoiding contact with the electric wheelchair is a major challenge, even with fully articulate and freely moving hands. You might think the planner changed.

that the guest toilet must be demolished to install a staircase for the attic conversion … is a top-notch bad idea and won’t work here.
