Hello everyone,
After searching for several years, we finally managed to secure a nice building plot! Soon we can get started. I am currently working on the floor plans so that our architect can submit the building permit / planning permission application.
I have a few questions and hope someone might have some experience to help me out
- We would like to install a small bathroom in the basement (habitable basement). Our home builder advised against it due to high additional costs caused by a lifting station and a backflow valve. For the washing machine and two sinks (kitchen area and laundry room), a small floor-level lifting unit would apparently be sufficient, but not for a toilet and shower. However, our basement specialist (whom we chose separately) believes that a small unit would also work in this case. Can anyone share some insight on this?
- Then, I need to plan an installation shaft on the ground floor, said our architect. Now I wonder, does the heating system (air heat pump with ventilation) have to be located in the basement directly under this shaft, or can it be placed somewhere else entirely?
- And one more thing, quite different Our plot is surrounded by other houses on three sides, and the street runs along the fourth side. The building envelope and the house are situated quite far (about 6-7 meters (20-23 feet)) from the street. We can easily install a 1.80 m (6 feet) high privacy fence on the three sides adjoining neighbors, as long as we keep a certain distance from the property boundary. But does anyone know how it works on the street side, well outside the building envelope? Does the building envelope have any influence on fences at all?
Kind regards

I found the thread very interesting at the beginning and also enriching for others.
However, with the house details provided but no floor plan, and instead many references like "further left" and "far right" accompanied by additional explanations that force you to constantly switch to an external site, it becomes absolutely confusing.
Therefore, you probably only have 11ameise left for exchanging opinions, who seems to have the time and a large screen for that.
Best regards in brief

Elefant, Olivand ... different languages seem to have their variations, but I hadn’t heard of Elevant before. Anyway, the clever animal with the trunk – probably not as small as an anteater. "11" is pronounced "Ällef" in the Greater Cologne dialect area.

To me, ant is just an ant... nothing else... take 11,You can’t build a nation with just a council of eleven ants. If anything, I would have thought of Adam Ant, a musician from my youth. I’ll never be Austria’s Next Topmodel, but another neat tool is always useful in housebuilding.

Have you ever thought about how the neighbors might feel if there are privacy screens everywhere and you isolate yourself like that?They’ll probably wonder if someone is trying to hide something—maybe not keeping up with the cleaning duty or even hiding a BMW.
