Hello,
My wife and I were fortunately able to agree on a bungalow instead of a townhouse.
As a reference floor plan, we used the bungalow model "Bungalow 131" from Town & Country, as it seemed the most suitable in terms of orientation and simplicity.
We have an existing building on the plot (site work and roof renovation in progress) that we would like to keep and reuse [ living space | workspace | utility room ].
Plot size: 1050 m² ( ~22 x 43 m / ~72 x 141 ft )
Net floor area: 130.24 m² (approx. 1401 sq ft)
Exterior dimensions of the house: 15.87 m x 9.50 m (52 x 31 ft)
Kitchen in the southeast
Living room in the southwest
Children’s room on the west side to catch the evening sun
Bedrooms, utility room, bathroom + guest bathroom with shower in the east
The car will not be parked in the yard/on the property. Possibly a carport along the driveway to the property.
I am not sure if the kitchen and living room are oversized.
Good luck
Michael

The cheaper the provider, the relatively more expensive the special requests become, meaning they are least suitable for walls that deviate significantly from the original model, if you actually wanted to build with them.

tollpatsch6 Jun 2019 06:19Many points have already been mentioned here. What would personally bother me, however, is the door swing direction; some rooms need to be reconsidered. No one wants a door that opens inward into the middle of the room.
In the toilet room, the door hits the toilet, making a 90° opening impossible. In the kitchen, the door opens toward the hallway.
Suggestion: Remove the door from the kitchen to the hallway so that the kitchen can only be accessed through the living room, thereby increasing the space for the guest bathroom and the main bathroom. I would also swap the locations of the main bathroom and guest bathroom to provide more space for the main bathroom.
In the bedroom, I see a lot of unused space. With the room layout and available space, this should be carefully planned in advance. You can never have enough storage space.

Thanks for your feedback. I will revisit RoomSketcher and continue with the design.
@11ant: Since the structural framework remains unchanged along with the building’s exterior dimensions, there is only a one-time architect fee of approximately 700 EUR. This means I can theoretically move the walls as I wish.
Here is the basis:
- The idea was to mirror the entire layout so that the children's rooms face west.
- Remove the office and add the freed-up space to the children's rooms.
- However, the main entrance to the house must be from the west.
- The orientation from the sketch is quite exact (left = south, bottom = east, top = west, right = north); a different orientation is not possible due to the existing structure.

tollpatsch6 Jun 2019 08:24Basically, I prefer this layout, but you’ve added an extra room and the children’s bedrooms are very small. In my opinion, it would be better to convert the guest room into a walk-in closet/storage room to create more usable space in the children’s bedrooms by removing the wardrobes there and reducing the size of the master bedroom to enlarge the other rooms.
In the guest bathroom: swap the positions of the toilet and the shower, so you can slightly reduce the width.
Alternatively, you could place the bedroom and bathroom upstairs and have Child 1, Child 2, and the utility room downstairs. This way, each child would have their own room, which wouldn’t be the size of a storage closet.

Could you please provide all the missing information and so on... How are you supposed to identify major errors if a site plan with the existing structures is missing? Door adjustments are done at the final stage. There is no need to criticize a door if the room has not yet been defined. Likewise, there is no reason to criticize a room if the positioning of the house is not finalized.
