House Design
- Architect

What do you particularly like?
The existing layout, storage space under the stairs, three possible children’s rooms, bay window in the living room, exposed steel beams in the kitchen and living room, textured clinker brick facade, overall style of the house

What do you not like?
So far, there is no natural light in the stairwell, which is why there is a desire for a partially open roof structure

Preferred heating system:
Geothermal

Why is the design as it is now?
The architect has fully followed our specifications and wishes

What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan?

Would a partially open roof structure be possible? Do you have any experience with this? Do you have alternatives to Wittmunder torfbruch clinker? If yes, where did you get yours?

Hello everyone. Winter has taken control of the construction sites. But to give you an update, here are a few pictures of the foundation slab. Behind it, you can see that we have cut down some trees; we plan to plant a hedge there (we are open to tips, preferably native and attractive).

Regards

Take a look
Bird protection hedge
Bee hedge
Four seasons hedge

These are available as a package, or you can pick the individual plants you like.
This way, you can exclude those that are toxic, thorny, too big, too small, or that you simply don't like.

Holly / Ilex.
Native, attractive, hardy, and evergreen.
We have Ilex Blue Prince and Ilex Blue Maid (the female plants bear beautiful red berries in winter).

Yes, nice to hear from you again. Your neighbors were quite restrained in their architectural creativity, but at least there were no aesthetic disasters.
