Hello everyone,
we are currently planning an L-shaped bungalow with the following details.
--> It would be great to get some critical feedback on our current (own) design (Image 1).
This design is based on the Town & Country Perfect 111 bungalow (see Image 2).
Due to the specified roof pitch and roof shape, there will likely be an attic space – so far, I am unsure what the best use for it might be.
Thank you very much!
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 540 sqm (5800 sq ft)
Desired living area: 120 sqm (1300 sq ft)
Slope: none
Number of floors: L-shaped bungalow
District heating
Underfloor heating
Technical room and pantry combined – accessible from both sides
Roof type: gable roof (mandatory) 30-45 degrees
The gable orientation of the main gable is unfortunately predetermined (long side, see site plan, Image 3)
No basement, bungalow
Number of residents: couple currently with one child (0 years old)
Garage or carport with roof facing the entrance
A well-accessible bicycle storage would be important for us
Building site in Baden-Württemberg (BW)

Still a huge house and no space. The zoning plan / building permit does not match your requirements.
Either you look for another plot of land or you plan a different house.
Ignoring the available space does not make it disappear.
Your utility room is smaller than my laundry room.
Draw in everything that needs to fit inside.
The kitchen is tiny.

Just because existing space is ignored doesn’t mean it disappears.

The kitchen is tiny. The kitchen should be 10sqm (108 sq ft). It used to be different, that’s true.
We are not ignoring the attic space. The attic is mainly storage, guest, and hobby rooms.
We want to spend everyday life on the ground floor. 112sqm (1,206 sq ft) on the ground floor is sufficient for that.
For the building services room, I’m thinking about 1sqm (11 sq ft) for a stacked dryer and washing machine, 1sqm (11 sq ft) for a buffer tank, electrical equipment on the wall, 1sqm (11 sq ft) for district heating on the wall or inside a shaft, and 1sqm (11 sq ft) for controlled ventilation. The exterior door should open outward.
It’s tight but should be possible. I’ll have the builder include this in the plans.
Why don’t you plan bedrooms or at least children’s rooms upstairs?
You can always move downstairs later. The living space doesn’t change just because you have to build this kind of roof.
The electrical system requires more than 1 sqm (10.8 sq ft), there are no utility connections, drinks, dirty laundry, household appliances that don’t fit in the kitchen. Freezer.

Electrical installations need more than 1 sq m (10 sq ft), house connections are missing, drinks, dirty laundry, household appliances that don’t fit in the kitchen. Freezer. We don’t want to go up and down with small children. We also don’t want a bathroom upstairs. No cleaning and no duplicate rooms, etc. We’ve experienced that enough with our parents and in-laws.
If our son wants to, he can move upstairs later and set up there.
There is enough space next to the living room door in the kitchen. The chest freezer will be integrated into the refrigerator.
Drinks are stored in a separate pantry, as well as the vacuum cleaner and so on. Possibly also under the stairs storage.
The electrical installation I saw in the preliminary specification wasn’t large. But I will have it planned out.
Dirty laundry is probably planned to be in the bathroom.

The electrical installation I saw during the preliminary sample review wasn’t very extensive. But I’ll have it drafted anyway. The electrical components themselves probably don’t take up much space, but you need to keep at least 1.2m (4 feet) clear in front of them.
Where will the small network cabinet be located? Also in the utility room?

Here is the floor plan for the ground floor. It will no longer be an L-shaped bungalow.
Any opinions? Yes, I think it’s terrible.
How is the building positioned on the plot? Where will the bicycles and carport be located?

The upper floor is not quite decided yet. Probably just a storage room, a guest room, and a large hobby room. I think that’s okay. If you really want a bungalow, then simply build one with a 30° pitched roof. But at least put the technical rooms upstairs then.
