Recently, during a discussion here, the idea came up to specifically collect house designs—mostly floor plans—that turned out to be dead ends.
Therefore, I would like to invite you to share those floor plans (or even façade views) where you yourself realized that they are best left in the trash bin.
In my opinion, such examples are most valuable when you not only share the drawing but also explain the reasons for discarding it. Feel free to add an "after" picture showing the improved successor (or final) design that resulted from these insights.
In memory of Hans Rosenthal’s "that was great!" jump of joy, the heading "that was rubbish!" came to mind for this.
I have two requests: First, please do not upload all 1 to 257 failed drafts preceding the final design, but only the one where "a light bulb moment" occurred; and second, please only share designs that you subsequently changed (not just mirrored or rotated).

Unfortunately, I can’t attach a picture because these were hand-drawn sketches and I don’t have a photo of themYou can take photos with a mobile phone… or have they already been shredded?

I find the floor plan extremely (like really, really) good – exactly what I’m looking for. Above all, the large living area with the integrated staircase is really well done – it maximizes the available space on the ground floor. Thanks. But the ground floor only works if there is a basement.

- Back then, I didn’t know anything about facades and materials. I would have chosen ETICS back then.What would have been wrong with that? And what do you have now?

Bauen202214 Sep 2021 09:47Regarding this topic, I can only recommend the following to everyone. I rented a hall of about 100m² (1,076 sq ft) and drew the floor plans for the ground floor and upper floor, then recreated them using cardboard boxes. It doesn’t look great, but it gives you a very good sense of what you decided on paper. For example, we adjusted several windows and also changed some rooms. Everything might work on paper, but when you walk through the house under real conditions, you quickly realize what works and what doesn’t. I can only recommend this to everyone.

It may not look great, but it gives you a very good sense of what you decided on paper. I once saw a provider—just search for "life-size floor plan" in a search engine, and you'll find them. At that time, the location was unfortunately too far away for me. But starting in Q4/21, a location in Hamburg is supposed to open. If it had been available then, I would have done it!
