ᐅ Renovation of a 1960s Suburban House with Extension – Feedback Welcome*

Hello everyone,

we would appreciate your feedback on our current plans.
The project involves the renovation of a 1960s suburban house with a small extension. The property will undergo a complete refurbishment, from the basement to the roof. Our main goal is to remodel the house in a modern and open style. However, we are constrained by certain structural conditions, as this is not a new build.
A detailed bathroom plan is still to be developed; the current plan only includes the standard essentials.

I don’t understand ... I thought the house belonged to you!?!

Correct, the house belongs to us, and our budget for the planned renovation and extension is 300,000 €.

And the architect says 450k?

Yes, rough cost estimate

For 450,000 euros, you might almost consider demolishing and building new...
