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.

In the bedroom, I think people rarely have the combination of an open window and the lights on....apart from the fact that it’s intense: here it happens almost daily. We love having windows open at night/evening before going to sleep, and often light sources like the TV, bedside lamp (for reading), or similar are on. But you know your habits better. And upgrading something like that later on is quite easy and affordable.
We have integrated insect screens in all the roller shutter boxes.
We really dislike mosquitoes in the bedroom, and I don’t want wasps either. Even with a ventilation system, I still sometimes throw the windows wide open during the day.
Unfortunately, that’s not possible with my venetian blind on the west side, as the wind load would be too high.
Of course, you can retrofit this later, but an affordable retrofit depending on the type of roller shutter might only mean using clip-on frames.

I’ve gone ahead and ordered it now. It’s just one window after all. Exactly – you can upgrade just one window individually, not only all three at once. I mainly wanted to mention this because it tends to be overlooked in the comparison chart, as the only difference between the P and XP.
I assume that retrofitting is not straightforward, precisely because some part will be 3 mm (0.1 inches) different or something like that. And then “retrofitting” basically means “forcing it in” – something I would avoid with a designer home.

I have installed insect screens in all the relevant rooms where I might consider using them... living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and office. It’s just an apartment without a ventilation system. However, it allows me to open the windows for cross-ventilation and fresh air at any time of the day, while keeping the lights on and keeping annoying flies and other insects out. I definitely wouldn’t want to be without them.
