Living on one level is not only a trend among older people. A house in the style of a bungalow offers a lot of space and living comfort with numerous design options and is at the same time a provision for life in retirement. Because if you plan the floor plan and construction measures of a bungalow well, you can take into account numerous aspects from the outset that play an important role in age-appropriate and barrier-free living.
A great advantage of a bungalow is that the room arrangement is very flexible and living areas can be separated or transformed into open areas according to your wishes and preferences. Whether it is an angled bungalow that quickly turns a terrace into an open living or dining room or a rectangular bungalow that connects the indoor and outdoor areas through a covered open space, people interested in buying and building a bungalow appreciate the proximity to nature and the open living and living concepts.
If measures for barrier-free and age-appropriate living are taken into account during construction planning, the residential property no longer has to be converted at great expense in old age. For example, the entrance area can be built without thresholds and landings, floors can be laid at ground level and with a non-slip surface, and doors can be selected in the correct sizes and prescribed passageway sizes. It is also advantageous if the bathroom door can be opened to the outside or the patio door can be controlled automatically. Further measures and retrofitting options for a bungalow in terms of accessibility can be found on the website of the trade magazine publisher bautipps.de.
