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.

140cm? Width Height Length?Length. So, we would probably have to give up a walk-in shower and instead install a shower door.
The sand-lime brick wall is 11.5cm (4.5 inches) thick and would have to be replaced with a 22.5cm (9 inches) drywall partition. We might still do this, because compared to the sand-lime brick plus a 15cm (6 inches) boxed-in section for a shelf, this would save 4cm (1.5 inches). And, in my opinion, a recessed mirror cabinet is better than just a shelf.

No, that’s nonsense. Of course, some water might splash onto the floor, but you would normally put down a shower mat and that’s it. I wouldn’t worry about it at all.Okay, let’s consider. Then a drywall partition to accommodate a recessed (built-in) mirror cabinet remains an option. Alternatively, you could create a 15cm (6 inch) boxed section to use as a shelf. Surface-mounted mirror cabinets are not my preference, and neither are mirrors with shelf space.
