Modern bungalow layouts.

I've studied many Europe layouts like that and i just dont think they work for the modern home, they date back to the 60's, The bedrooms are to small for doubles often long and narrow and then when the kids are gaming or watching tv early morning when young its to close to the master bedroom, and when teens and they come home late, And have party's.

10 sq  m small?? Many UK bedrooms  are half that

Those are cupboards that someone managed to fit an extra small bed in.

Next time you look at a new build, measure the beds.

Long and narrow, And once you put in a double bed, wardrobe and desk they soon become cramped.

@markin - "Long and narrow, And once you put in a double bed, wardrobe and desk they soon become cramped."

Wardrobes can be built in, see back to back below. Separate study or built in facilities for desks.

I could post endless plans and more and none will suit all.


The point I'm trying to make is that there are plenty of alternatives to poorly designed or extended bungalows, buying any building that you have not designed is likely to be a compromise and you may only be happy getting a design for you. But it is likely the dimensions and layout of the site, or the costs (size), will also impose constraints so you are always faced with a compromise.

Nevertheless the scope is for modern bungalows to be far better than the the basic UK offering with very poor initial layout.
