Hello everyone,

this thread is meant to be a bit more positive .

I’ll start: these are things I would definitely do again:

- Brick facade (but only a fully colored one)
- Clay brick
- Two stories
- Controlled residential ventilation system
- Smart home
- Minimum clear ceiling height of 2.60m (8.5 feet)
- Large windows
- Open-plan design

What about you?

Best regards

That’s quite a list. Things I hardly notice anymore myself, but I do notice when other houses don’t have them:

- Pedestal under the washing machine/dryer
- Spacious pantry cupboards in the laundry room
- A few small clotheslines in the utility room opposite the laundry area
- Dirt shower in the laundry room at the exit to the garden
- Carport
- Kitchenette next to the living room
- “Service lift” (for firewood for the living room fireplace, for example)
- Fireplace in the living room
- Walk-in closet
- Storage room
- Large corner bench with a big table in the hallway
- Recessed front door
- Outdoor light with motion sensor
- Utility sink at the garden shed
- 3 outdoor water taps plus 2 automatic hose rewinders
- Lighting in the greenhouses plus LED floodlights on the vegetable bed

I’m sure I would list other things as “essential” if I had them ^^ You get used to comfort so quickly… (says the person who never thought heated seats in the car were important… until they had them )

Hello,

- Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (a really great invention!)
- Children's bathroom
- Utility room with washing machine on the ground floor and not in the basement, much more convenient

Best regards

what I would really miss:
- a pedestal for the washer/dryer
- no basement (so having to have one again)
- mechanical ventilation system (and having to ventilate again, especially in winter, ugh)
- the garden
- the staircase with the cupboard underneath

So, the biggest improvements compared to the previous apartment in the block rental are:

- Parking right at the house, no stairs, no annoying search in the evening for a place to leave the car...
- Spacious bathroom with natural daylight
- Kitchen where the everyday dining table comfortably fits
- Finally having your own outdoor space for a few flowers and two or three small vegetable beds

Yesterday I spent several hours outside even though the weather was really bad. I was completely frozen and ended up lying on the floor with a blanket, enjoying the warmth from below.

Many of these things could probably also be rented, just like every child has their own room.

Many of my friends and acquaintances always take a look and shake their heads. They don’t understand the purpose or the entire concept behind it. I have often had to explain it and was then smiled at, but I want to say it clearly: I like my bidet!
