Ground level construction: Bungalow

  • 3 years ago

Those who dream of a single-story house, which is characterized by a special proximity to nature and your own garden, may be interested in a bungalow. Above all, if this has large window fronts. Due to the ground-level construction, all living spaces and usable areas are located on only one floor. This is also one of the reasons why bungalows are also of great interest to people looking for a barrier-free home.

Whether for families with children, for the elderly or people with physical disabilities, the simple floor plans without steps and stairs provide a high level of living comfort. Thus, in a bungalow there are not even at the entrance entrance steps that could complicate access. But the ground-level design can also become a disadvantage: Since all rooms are located on one surface, the floor space requirement increases and thus also the additional costs.

Depending on the size, bungalows cost from 100,000 to 400,000 euros at a prefabricated house manufacturer. The floor area of a mini-bungalow can be about 80 square meters. Those who prefer it larger and more spacious, will find in an angular bungalow about 200 square meters of usable space. Since bungalows usually do not have a basement, it must be taken into account that storage space is missing and also the building services need an area in the house. However, it is possible to build a partial basement by excavating. This provides space for the building services or can be used as fuel storage.
