Hello, after just over a year I’m getting back in touch. Now, after many delays due to political issues and the pandemic, the development area is finally being prepared, and it should be possible to start building from March 22. Meanwhile, our desired child has arrived, and since we plan to have only one, one child’s bedroom will be enough for us.
Furthermore, we now prefer a bungalow instead of a 1.5-story house because the price is similar and we like having everything on one level better.
We will probably build with Town & Country since the company (the franchiser) is located directly in the town and has already built half of the houses in previous new developments here, as well as the house of good friends of ours. Based on conversations with residents so far, we have not heard any significant negative experiences (of course, there are always some minor issues).
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 766m² (width at street 20.5m (67 ft 3 in)) / No. 28, drawing is oriented north, precise survey to be done soon
Slope: none
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio: II
Building envelope, building line, and boundaries
Edge development: no
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: up to 2 full stories
Roof type: gable or hip roof
Style: modern
Orientation:
Maximum heights/limits: ridge height 9.5m (31 ft 2 in), eaves height 6.5m (21 ft 4 in)
Other regulations: rainwater infiltration on site; internal walls mandatory
Homeowner Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: modern, bungalow, hip roof
Basement, floors: no basement
Number of residents, ages: 2 adults (28 and 34), 1 baby
Space requirement ground floor, upper floor: total about 130m² (1,399 sq ft)
Office: family use
Number of guest sleepers per year: 10
Open or closed layout: open living-dining area desired
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, cooking island: yes, would be nice but not essential
Number of dining seats: 6-8 (daily need 3-4)
Fireplace: yes
Music/speaker wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: 1 carport, 1 outdoor parking space
Kitchen garden, greenhouse: no
Other wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons why this or that is preferred or excluded:
- Central ventilation system due to allergies
House Design
Designed by: combination of the builder and self-developed ideas
What do you particularly like? Why? The right side and the living/dining/kitchen area are quite appealing to me
What do you not like? Why? The left side with the child’s bedroom, bathroom, etc. could work but needs improvement; the child’s room should, if possible, be on the south side and be somewhat separate from ours, so the bathroom is currently planned in between
Estimated price according to architect/planner: 250,000
Personal price limit for the house including fixtures: 300,000
Preferred heating technology: gas + solar thermal
If you have to give up anything, which details or extensions
-Can you do without: pantry, possibly second shower in guest bathroom, L-shaped living/dining/kitchen area if not otherwise possible
-Can you not do without: walk-in closet/office, child’s room in the south - not directly next to the parents’ bedroom
Why is the design the way it is now?
At first, we had decided on an L-shaped bungalow, but since the extra cost compared to a simple rectangular shape was very high, we reconsidered what we actually need, studied other floor plans, and finally settled on this one. However, having been away from the topic for over a year because it looked like the development might not happen, this is now the first layout out of many we’ve drawn that we generally like. Unfortunately, we’ve only been able to visit two model bungalows, both somewhat smaller.
According to Town & Country, 17.5cm (7 inches) interior walls are now mandatory for bungalows due to previous cracking issues. Therefore, all interior walls in the plan are 17.5cm, and the exterior walls are currently planned at 30cm (12 inches). I am still considering increasing them to 36.5cm (14 inches) or 42.5cm (17 inches) but am unsure whether that would be worthwhile.
Since the tool used does not provide free dimensioning, here are the rough basic dimensions: 13.5m (44 ft 3 in) wide at the street side at the front and 11.1m (36 ft 5 in) deep. I will try another tool with dimensioning in the coming days, but for rough planning this should do for now.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I recently came across an interesting floor plan while browsing and adapted it a bit to suit our needs,Once again without mentioning the original model :-(I would reconsider whether having a short distance from the desk to the bathroom and bed should be that high on the priority list 🙂

Rampelzampel12 Oct 2021 15:11Unfortunately, there was no exact information about the source; this is what Google Image Search showed, except that it is a 111m² (1,195 sq ft) bungalow. I always end up on Pinterest and from there on Fertighaus.de. I’ve attached the original image here for you.
At first, I didn’t find a better place for the desk, and it has to go somewhere 🙂 The door from the children’s room to the dressing room can probably be left out, as in the original.

Well, you still have the living area and guest bathroom usable, and the kids' room remains unaffected at the desk by telecommunications.
I also considered swapping that, but then the child would always have to go through the dressing room to reach friends or visitors.
I’ll keep thinking about it, I still have a few weeks to decide 🙂
But I really like the basic idea since it uses relatively little space for just a hallway.
