Alessandro8 Feb 2021 13:45Forget about the surroundings @11ant. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say all the time? As a neighbor living in an old, ugly house from the 1970s, I would be happy to see a modern building.
I also built on an infill plot. All around are old, unattractive houses. My house improves the area by 100000000000000%!
The original poster is building for themselves and their family, not for the neighbors.

The original poster (OP) is building for themselves and their family, not for the neighbors. I rarely read such nonsense. Do you know why the
Building Code (Baugesetzbuch)
§ 34 Permissibility of projects within contiguous developed areas
is applied here?
The municipality isn’t enforcing this for no reason.

We built a Bauhaus villa ourselves in a §34 area. I see your house more as a timeless, enduring work of art that you can also live in.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a cube, Bauhaus style, or town villa. The main thing is that no multi-family house is built in between, blocking the view, so that some neighbors suddenly don’t get any sunlight in their garden.
The house has some tight spots that should be fixed. "If necessary," the exterior will have to suffer.

The original poster is building for himself and his family, not for the neighbors. But there has to be something between "for himself" and "against the neighbors" besides just an insult.

I also built in a gap between buildings. All around are old, ugly houses. My house improves the surroundings by 100000000000000%! Well, your math might be a bit off or it’s Sicilian nonsense, but I completely agree with you about the improvement. Your neighbors’ houses clearly have an older style, yes, but your house is decidedly less aggressively modern. Maybe you could share the post numbers (in the house pictures thread?) where the much less harsh contrast can be seen.

pagoni20208 Feb 2021 14:08Two different areas of discussion are coming together here. The exterior, which may have been prioritized over the interior function and ultimately will or will not be approved by the building authorities (building permit / planning permission), and the interior.
However, this statement from the original poster about expanding the garage because the interior space might become too tight concerns me a bit.
There simply needs to be an individual and honest plan for where things will go. But wouldn't the architect have had to ask about and clarify this? Even if one lives very simply, things must be stored in a dry and frost-free environment.
I find the cost calculation quite tight, and with a house like this, money should not end up being too limited for areas like design, fixtures, and so on.
Therefore, I stick to my opinion... less on the outside, more on the inside... in terms of space, function, and quality. I also notice some items missing from the cost calculation.

I am considering adding a door from the utility room to the garage and possibly enlarging the garage.
