Hello everyone,
We have been searching for a plot for quite some time but have so far been unsuccessful due to the orientation and local conditions. For example, the last reserved plot had a garden facing north and was recently used by the planning company as storage space for road excavation materials. Therefore, we decided to continue looking.
We found a plot by chance when a general contractor offered it to us without requiring us to build with them.
The plot is not rectangular, which makes it difficult to create a simple design as amateurs. The size is 919 m² (9,893 sq ft). The zoning plan and regulations are attached.
I have also attached an idea for the layout, although the proposed size doesn’t quite fit on the plot.
We want to plan a bungalow including a garage (preferably a double garage for two cars and one motorcycle) with a large living/dining area, two children’s bedrooms, a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, and two bathrooms. We also saw a partially open kitchen design at friends’ houses that can be closed off with a sliding door if needed. We want to avoid wasting too much space in front of the house.
Our rough target size is between 130 m² and 140 m² (1,400 to 1,500 sq ft).
So far, we have drawn our own floor plans based on examples from magazines or websites.
What are your ideas or suggestions for building on this plot?
I would really appreciate your opinions and ideas.
Thank you very much.

Have you given the children away, or why don’t they get any rooms anymore? Where is the storage space supposed to be with this floor plan?
A wardrobe for 4 people if the children haven’t been given away?
Regarding option 4: you go straight from the vestibule into the dining room. I wouldn’t like that at all.
If I were forced to build like this, I would probably choose option 1 as well. I think options 2 and 3 are complete junk.

Both as a “passerby” and as a “blocker” at the dining tableI don’t see a dining area or dining hall (as it used to be called) here as disadvantageous or disruptive. Even at midnight, if you’re actively sitting there with friends, whether young or old, you could come across each other without invading anyone’s privacy. quisel schrieb:
If this is meant to be a guest bathroom / kids’ bathroom, then I’d always have to pass through the living room.? The living room, the cozy zone, is always somewhere else. You don’t have to walk straight through it. quisel schrieb:
Unfavorable from my point of view. If it’s not used that way, then you might question whether a shower is needed there.I still tend to agree with that. Stulli191 schrieb:
Why wouldn’t you build a bungalow with children?
I see the advantage here that everything is on one level and also easier for us as we age.Because if you build compactly and go upwards, you can definitely generate more living space and thus more necessary storage and utility space for the same budget. There is a big difference between planning an age-appropriate home for two and a family home for four. Two floors are very comfortable. You don’t have to hover around each other too much and have more privacy… the children have more room to develop personally.
None of the options convince me for three reasons: 1. each one individually does not, 2. there are four of them in total, and 3. yet none of them is two-story. Which professional architect would proceed like this? — probably at most one with very little experience.

There were several versions with very small, narrow, tube-like children's rooms. I did not like any of them. Regarding this point, I found version 3 to be the best.
Then there is the question of cardinal directions. Did I overlook this? If south is at the bottom of the plan, then in most versions the children’s rooms face north.
There is a dedicated subforum for exactly these kinds of questions. You will get some help there.
And how old are the children? If they are no longer very small, do they perhaps prefer to be upstairs (so you could make two rooms on the left and right)? That way, everything else can stay on the lower floor and the layout will be age-appropriate while remaining compact. You could also still fit a storage room in there.

There are no children yet, but they are planned, so they were not given away. However, the labeling of the rooms Guest/Study = Child 1 and Child 2 is for the future if it works out someday.
The bottom of the plan faces south.
The plot has not been purchased yet; the notary contract is currently being prepared.
An inquiry with the city revealed that only a bungalow is allowed to be built on this plot (to maintain the uniform appearance of the neighborhood). However, deviations from the roof style (gable or flat roof) are permitted.
Therefore, storage space under the roof is created as a "basement replacement area."
The utility room (HAR) in variant 4 also doesn't seem very small, I estimate...
The orientation of the children’s rooms is intended to ensure that they do not face the terrace.

I definitely would not consider building a bungalow without a compelling reason if children are involved.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
