To start with, try answering these basic questions, which will help you make a decision more easily when choosing a design:
How many stories do you want your house to have?
How many bedrooms do you need?
Do you also need a guest room or a home office?
In which room do you spend the most time? (This one should be the largest)
Do you want floor-to-ceiling windows or classic windows with sills?
Are you planning a covered terrace?
Do windows on the side facing your neighbors bother you?
Are the rooms large enough to furnish according to your ideas?
Will it have enough storage space?
Is your plot flat or sloped?
What is the size and shape of your plot?
Which direction should your rooms face (cardinal orientation)?
Can you imagine living in it 10 years from now?
Is it clearer now? Perhaps you are still struggling to decide between a bungalow and a two-story house. We have therefore listed their advantages.
Advantages of a Bungalow
It is easier to create barrier-free access.
The construction of a family bungalow is usually a few months faster compared to a two-story house.
Rooms can be designed without having to align with another floor.
The selection of bungalow designs is larger compared to other types of catalog house projects.
Advantages of a Two-Story House
It is easier to separate the living (daytime) and sleeping (nighttime) areas of the house.
You get a better view of the surroundings from the upper floor.
Two stories offer the possibility of creating a semi-basement floor on a sloped plot.
You save plot space.
When deciding which modern house designs are most suitable for you, focus more on their functionality than on pretty 3D renderings.
Discuss your decisions with the members of your household who will also live there. This will help you find out the needs and requirements of your children or partner.
