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.

we now want to have decorative cornices, but they don’t fit with the ceiling outlets Why don’t the ceiling outlets fit with the decorative cornices? Are the outlets located too close to the corner? Was the positioning of the inlets and outlets not discussed with you?

Was the positioning of the in- and outlets not discussed with you?We only came up with the idea for the decorative moldings later, after the lighting plan and installation were already finished. The distances to the wall without the moldings are fine, but with the moldings they are borderline. That’s why I think it’s best for home builders to involve an interior designer from the start to coordinate everything. We only hired an interior designer quite late for some general matters and now we can see what all would have been possible... at this stage, more than a few custom solutions and individual drywall components won’t be feasible.
It also turned out, for example, that the hallway will get custom-made cabinets. Two ceiling spots will become unnecessary because of that. Instead, a power connection on the left side would have been useful to control an indirect light behind a mirror planned there. These are the kinds of things an interior designer plans.
It’s not a disaster for us, but my tip for ambitious builders at an earlier stage is to involve an interior designer early on and not have all the trades plan everything separately. That usually goes wrong if you want a custom design and don’t have experience in this field yourself.
Also, issues like those with the bathroom wouldn’t have happened if handled differently, where in the end we barely managed to get a barely acceptable solution (I hope).
But as I said, that’s why the house is not a catastrophe.

Hmm, so we planned the entire interior setup right from the start...
For example, we consulted with the carpenter to decide exactly where and how the wardrobe would be placed, so we could plan the spotlights accordingly...
Also, in the bathroom, we designed a shelf on the outside of the shower wall as a feature, which is lit from the inside with LED lighting. We planned that ourselves and had the electrical wiring installed there as well.
