Further wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons why certain things are desired or avoided:
Bedroom facing north/east as it is the coolest room in the house and we like to wake up with sunrise; children’s rooms preferably separated from the bedroom; flush interior doors with 5mm (0.2 inch) aluminum frames; ground floor parquet flooring, upper floor vinyl/design flooring; bathroom tiles with wood look; the open space in the hallway on the upper floor should be a mix of a small second living room and play area for the children; circulation pump; controlled mechanical ventilation with humidity recovery; wood/aluminum windows
House Design
Planner: my 5 cents
-planner from a construction company
-architect
-do-it-yourself
What do you like most? Why? The west side, because we have an unobstructed view to the west over fields and forest
What do you dislike? Why? So far nothing
Cost estimate by architect/planner: around €430,000 excluding ancillary construction costs, including slab on grade
Personal budget limit for the house, including fittings: €480,000 including ancillary construction costs (excluding kitchen and garden)
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump or geothermal with baskets
If you had to give up something, which details / expansions
-could you do without: external venetian blinds, wood/aluminum windows
-could you not do without: the flush-mounted doors
Why did the design end up this way?
It evolved from many previous drafts and matured over time

We decided not to have a window in the walk-in closet since we usually only use it early in the morning or late in the evening. There are plenty of lighting options for the times in between.However, this means that outfits worn during daylight hours can only be evaluated for color matching under artificial light. For the walk-in closet user type "hit & run" (someone who sees the closet as a storage space, grabs an outfit, and rushes off), this is not an issue – but for the "fashion show" type, it makes a significant difference.

I’m also considering whether the hallway on the ground floor really needs to be 150cm (59 inches) wide between the stairs and the wall, or if 120cm (47 inches) would be sufficient.If I wanted to avoid a sudden change in spatial perception when moving from circulation areas to living spaces, I would skip the contrast in spaciousness between the living rooms and the hallways.

120cm (47 inches) is probably enough for the hallway, but it’s not exactly ideal.

My wife agrees with me that we don’t need a window in the walk-in closet since there is enough natural light coming through the bedroom windows. In the morning, when getting dressed, you need artificial lighting anyway, and the same applies in the evening. Also, I don’t know where you shop for your clothes, but I hardly know any store where you try on clothes in natural daylight—maybe at a flea market. And if it really is necessary, I just take the clothes a couple of steps into the bedroom to stand in natural light. Installing a separate window just for that would be a waste of money.

With your roof pitch, an open gable is a good option that also provides enough space for a roof window.With the house’s basic shape, that was also my thought, especially since I find the idea of using a roof window as a bathtub view quite appealing. However, that might conflict with the style of the "Jurahaus" (?).
