Volliballa20145 Jun 2014 20:48Hello,
we are now slowly reaching the phase where we can evaluate the initial designs as good, expandable, or poor. We would also like to hear your opinions.
Attached is the draft of our bungalow. A pantry will be added directly next to the kitchen. The windows are not yet positioned correctly. Otherwise, we like the layout of the rooms.
We are looking forward to your feedback...
Wishing you a pleasant Pentecost holiday in advance!

toxicmolotof5 Jun 2014 23:34Nice idea with the lighting in the hallway, and I also personally like the "sleeping area" concept, but the downside is almost 15m² (160 sq ft) of narrow hallway.
At least I would allocate the left corridor section to the study.

Where is the pantry supposed to go? Will it be added on or included within the existing space?
In the kitchen, I would reduce the size of the entrance area. It doesn’t add value to the kitchen but takes away space from the living area, which could be better allocated to the dining area.
Personally, I prefer the style with an open living area and an attached sleeping corridor.
If different measurements—specifically larger ones 😉—were used, I can also imagine the corridor with the patio doors. A nice courtyard could be created to the left near the shed, and so on. But here, we likely only have a narrow, standard corridor about 1?? meters (approximately ? feet) wide?
And I fully agree with toxicmolotow’s opinion! We don’t have a 2-meter (6.5-foot) wide corridor that cannot be furnished (prison-like character?). The outside area is highlighted straight through the door, but in my opinion, the living space would be too valuable for that. The rooms aren’t very generous anyway, rather small with only about 11 sqm (118 sq ft) for a child.
Therefore, with this bungalow layout, I would position the study room between the children’s rooms and shorten the corridor ends, assigning the gained living space to the children.
Perhaps rearranging the rooms completely could work, for example swapping the bedroom and study, and distributing the rest among the children. That would probably reduce corridor space even further 🙂
How many square meters (square feet) do you have in total? Is the “compact” small design and the bungalow layout dictated by the floor area ratio / building permit / planning permission or by the budget?
Why a bungalow? It can’t be for accessibility since the house doesn’t appear to be barrier-free at all.

Doc.Schnaggls6 Jun 2014 12:51Hello,
Overall, a nice plan.
If it were my house, I would consider the following adjustments:
- Add the left "corridor stub" to the office – this circulation space would be more useful inside a room.
- Remove the wall between the kitchen and the living-dining area entirely – it feels very tight and cramped. It would be better to invest the money in a better range hood. This would also solve the problem of potentially bumping into the entrance door when coming out of the kitchen.
- Install a corner bathtub or a standard bathtub configured as an L-shaped installation. This will give you more apparent free space in the bathroom.
Best regards,
Dirk

Wanderdüne6 Jun 2014 13:41An interesting design. The entrance area does not support zoning, which causes the living room to function as a passageway. Unfortunately, a furnished representation of this space is missing, which is urgently needed here to assess its impact and the potential negative effect of being a thoroughfare.
In all rooms, it is noticeable that they are narrowly proportioned, and access points in the corners of rooms are rarely efficient. Considering the room layout, the choice of a bungalow should also be reconsidered, as a 1.5- or 2-story house will offer more space for the same cost.

Volliballa20146 Jun 2014 22:09Thank you for your response!
In the end, the study is just a backup bedroom, so the size there will be sufficient. Of course, we would prefer the children's rooms to be larger. We’ll see what the next design proposal brings.
The pantry will be attached to the kitchen to make it somewhat larger. We would also like to have a small seating area there so we don’t always have to carry everything into the living-dining area when we’re in a hurry.
The bright hallway is definitely great, even if it is an unused space.
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I will surely reach out to you again for the next design.
