Hello everyone!
As some users have requested before, I’m now starting a new thread with the current planning of our detached house, which is about to be finalized.
These are the preliminary drawings for the building permit / planning permission application, and I have one last chance to review them and point out any issues.
It still seems to me that there is less than 1.20m (4 feet) of space between the two wardrobes in the dressing room. Or am I seeing this wrong? Apparently, the rooms on the left and right were overlooked and not adjusted accordingly.
Two Velux ceiling spotlights are still planned to illuminate the upper floor hallway.
In the basement, on the right side in the upper room, a window similar to the one on the left basement side is an option.
We still haven’t decided on the T30 fire-rated door to the garage, even though it is shown in the plans. Most likely, for safety reasons and the limited use of the kitchen at the other end of the house, we will eventually forgo it.
User 11ant pointed out that the right window in child’s room 2 is suboptimally positioned. However, this could still be changed after submitting the building permit / planning permission application. Our architect thinks moving the window to the left would negatively affect the house’s exterior appearance. We’ll have to see about that.

I would combine the boxed-in ceiling with a shelf at the head of the bed, possibly with integrated lighting.And then put the light switch under the windowsill? Will my daughter still be able to reach it easily?
I would probably look for a way to route the pipe in the guest bathroom through the exterior wall, similar to a kitchen exhaust hood. So, just below the ceiling, above eye level.

It’s not about the bathroom ventilation but about the pipe venting.That’s what he meant as well. Just Google the product mentioned.

Unfortunately, the bed extends into the window area unless it has a flat headboard. At minimum, it’s positioned underneath the window. It seems the planning only accounted for a child’s bed. But later on, around ages 14-15, beds tend to be 140cm or even 160cm wide (55 inches or 63 inches), which clearly reaches into or under the window. Adding a boxed-in section at the head of the bed would look quite odd then.

R.Hotzenplotz6 Jul 2018 17:08I took some more photos today to help you visualize the space better. The offset of the pipe at the top results in an even larger boxed-in area. You can also see the light switch and the sockets. The cables there cannot be extended arbitrarily.
This was already discussed regarding exhaust air / recirculation. Exhaust air was strongly advised against due to the insulation, and anyway, it’s not a good solution if you are using a controlled ventilation system.
I’ll ask about it.
You’re right. Whether with or without boxing-in, it doesn’t look good. The placement was poorly chosen by us. Unfortunately, it’s probably only possible to change now at a high additional cost (electrician).
