Hello dear forum community,
I am new here and have so far only been a silent reader.
I came across this forum by chance and am now practically addicted. You provide so many constructive suggestions, it’s amazing.
Previously, I didn’t have many concerns about whether a larger bungalow would fit on the plot. I would probably have taken a floor plan to a developer and had it implemented. Whether this would have worked out considering the plot remains to be seen 😉.
The main focus of my thread is to get the opinions of experienced members on whether the bungalow we want can actually be realized or if we have to painfully give up on this dream.
The plot was given to me as a gift from my parents and is located in a purely residential area in a small village about 20 km (12 miles) from Magdeburg.
A printout of the cadastre map including measurements is attached.
The same applies to the prevailing development plan (as far as available).
The plot is relatively large at 1461 sqm (15712 sq ft), but also partly very narrow and irregular. No developer is yet involved and the plot is not bound to a developer.
So far, we only have a rough floor plan idea in our heads, not on paper, since it probably doesn’t make much sense to plan extensively and become fixated on it if it cannot ultimately be realized on the plot.
However, of course, we have specific ideas 🙂
We really want a gable roof bungalow on the plot, preferably without angles, with a maximum living area of 145 sqm (1560 sq ft). It can also be smaller as long as the rooms can be accommodated.
Besides a semi-open kitchen + dining area + living room, we want a bedroom (preferably with a walk-in closet), utility room, bathroom + guest WC, 2 children’s rooms, and 1 office.
We would very much prefer not to move away from the bungalow concept, only if it really cannot be realized, since we have lived for years in an attic apartment with many sloping walls and do not want any more sloped ceilings.
The attic is not planned to be used as living space.
I hope I have chosen the right forum for my thread and listed and attached everything important.
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards

... they basically used one of their standard designs as a basis for an estimated cost direction ...This appears to be what can be seen in the drawing (?) – apparently a hipped roof bungalow, and if I understand correctly, there is supposed to be a large roof overhang on the right side of the plan serving as a terrace cover (?)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

I don’t really like the floor plan either... it doesn’t fit our needs or expectations at all...
The only thing it has in common with what we want is the living area and that it’s a rectangular bungalow :-p...
But that’s what the personal meeting on Friday is for 😉...

Help! Where’s the architect in all this? 🤨LOL :-D...
Unfortunately, we only have an appointment on March 26 🙁...

If the general contractor’s portfolio of building proposals only contains ones that don’t fit, be prepared to bypass their draftsman and provide your own design (or one created by an independent architect you hire) in any case. Also, critically assess whether their satisfied customers are just undemanding “jack-of-all-trades” types. Didn’t you want to draft your own design at least at the floor plan level? – and what is your actual reason for choosing a gable roof?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

There’s a very simple explanation for choosing a gable roof... I find a hip roof absolutely ugly *oops*... I just can’t get used to the look and would be very unhappy with it... 🙁 ...
We don’t have a proper floor plan yet... What we do have is an idea of how we want the rooms arranged... but no measurements or anything else, and it’s just poorly sketched... 🙁 ...
