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)
Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, the bungalow’s dimensions are incomplete... 3.6 m (12 feet) on the garage side including the entrance is probably not sufficient. I would plan for 4 to 5 m (13 to 16 feet) instead. On the other side, it is at least 3 m (10 feet) anyway (how do you get 2.5 m (8 feet)?).
So that leaves 19.45 - 7 = 12.45 m (64 - 23 = 41 feet).
I’m afraid this won’t work with the most recently submitted plan. Which house is the basis now? Was there no information about wall lengths?

I haven’t found anything so far suggesting that the floor area ratio and the planting requirement zone wouldn’t be taken into account. I’m assuming a floor area ratio of 540*0.4 = 216. That is how it should be: just because there is a planting obligation, a part of the property is not legally excluded from the calculations.

Thanks first of all for the detailed response!
We just want to use it as a basis. We actually plan to build with a local general contractor using traditional masonry construction.
We discussed it a lot. The fact is that all of our parents live in large detached houses where the attic is no longer used and remains empty. Additionally, we want to sleep on the ground floor, avoid duplicate rooms, minimize maintenance, and with small children, we don’t want the bedrooms upstairs while the master bedroom is on the ground floor. We don’t want all of that, so the bungalow option kept coming up.
The roof (probably a pitched roof) will then serve as an attic and storage space, since we want to avoid a basement. I also think a basement wouldn’t be significantly better environmentally.
The main roof would be approximately 14.5m by 9m (48 feet by 30 feet).
In the new design, the utility/technical room is separate from the pantry. The technical room makes sense in the new design, since it’s close to the service connection point and next to the bathroom (for laundry, etc.).
The garage is a sticking point – unfortunately, I don’t think it will fit either. That’s why there is a design with a carport and a covered entrance area.
Attached is the revised design based on the Danwood Perfect 131.
Tomorrow we are going to the planner; I hope we are not completely wrong. I am definitely out if the entrance is on the side.

We talked for a long time. The fact is that all our parents live in huge single-family homes, where the attic is no longer used and stands empty. We also want to sleep on the ground floor and avoid having duplicate rooms,It doesn’t really matter how 120 square meters (1,292 square feet) are divided, whether on one level or two. The fact is that you are currently building twice as much space as you actually need, just that the upper floor won’t be finished. You have 120 square meters (1,292 square feet) downstairs, and upstairs you would have another 80 square meters (860 square feet) available.
And how you use the rooms later is entirely up to you. With two levels, you can also enjoy your own hobbies more easily and get some space from your partner for a couple of hours.

We don’t want everything, and that’s why the idea of a bungalow keeps coming up. How old are the children now?
If they are teenagers, you’ll think differently. Starting at age 12, unfortunately, they can’t spread out as much with you on one level and tend to move out more quickly. That also has its advantages.

The roof (probably a pitched roof then) will become a stage What exactly do you mean by your “stage”?
