Hello. My partner and I are planning to build a house soon. This is the first draft from the planner at the construction company. The design was created based on our specifications (a hand-drawn sketch from us).
Gable roof, single-family house, no basement, 1.5 stories, currently 2 people in the household; later 3-4.
The terrace is planned to be adjacent to the kitchen and living area, mainly facing west. Do you think it would be better to have it facing south instead? Possibly wrap around the corner near the living area?
Our requirement was to have direct access from the garage/carport into the utility room, and from there directly into the kitchen.
- Is the size of the utility room sufficient? All the building services should be housed there. Additionally, the utility room should also serve as a kind of pantry. Laundry tasks will also be done there.
- What do you think about the downstairs bathroom? Showering directly in front of the window doesn’t seem ideal^^.

Overwhelmed, no. No one doubts that you wanted to help. I just took the liberty to point out: unfortunately, it was more of a disservice. In my opinion – although there are others, of course.

... writing by hand helps with memorization, whereas typing on a computer doesn’t have the same effect. I no longer needed to create five small handwritten cheat sheets—it was easier to just reduce the font size on the PC... well, whatever.
What I mean is that some things require old-fashioned paper—whether it’s a notepad for drawing or writing—to help internalize and get things right. Especially when a task takes longer, mistakes are more likely to be noticed; people tend to be more careful because correcting errors is more effort. When I print out and review my work documents, I still find mistakes that I didn’t catch on the screen. Quickly clicking through things isn’t always enough. You don’t have to be an elephant to realize that.

No autocorrect, huh?Haha, I often get the feeling that it’s actually the auto“correction” that turns autocorrect into auto door *LOL*https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
