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

I couldn’t do it due to space constraints, otherwise I would have.

what I would really miss:
- Washer/dryer pedestal

What exactly do you mean by the washer/dryer pedestal? Just a base to raise the appliances higher? What is the big advantage of that?

Probably so you don’t have to bend down when emptying the machines.
Personally, I’m not a fan of front-loading machines and prefer top-loaders. With those, I take the laundry out piece by piece and place it neatly in the basket – saves ironing.

I understand you, but due to space limitations, I also had to do without one. Instead, we now have a hygienic spray at every toilet. That works well too, and we wouldn’t want to be without it anymore.

Personally, I’m not a fan of front-loading machines and prefer top-loaders. That way, I take the laundry out piece by piece and place it neatly in the basket – it helps reduce ironing.

But then the machines have to be installed significantly higher. It’s probably one of those things you only appreciate once you have it.

That would finally be a sensible trend: if the bidet could move off the top spot as one of the most unknown cultural items.

Is that really much different from the "bidet" concept, basically integrated as an all-in-one?
