Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

What surprises me especially is that they apparently wanted to simulate old village centers with their "disorder." With the street layout, it naturally results in houses being positioned all over the place at the end. You can clearly see in the photo that this actually happens. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it could have been easier for the builders.
I actually think this looks much better than checkerboards or grids and so on. It creates a much better overall impression than everything being neat and planned.

As I said, it’s not a bad thing; I’m just surprised because this is the first new development I’ve seen designed like this without the landscape having dictated it.

To be honest, I was quite concerned about the overhang. The building specifications stated 40 cm (15.7 inches), which I thought was fine, so that settled the matter 😉
I really like the exact size of your roof overhang.. to me, it’s just the right dimension! I find the roof overhang of the bungalow at the front in the aerial photo way too large.

The plots are terrible. How much does the "strip" of land at the bottom of the site cost?

It costs €98 per square meter (approximately $105 per square yard), and plots of land are typically between 630 and 700 square meters (around 7,000 to 7,500 square feet). So, including additional costs, you end up paying just under €70,000 (about $75,000). For southern Germany, that is still quite affordable.

We also have a similar area here.
There was the possibility to design it with many straight lines, but I find it more open. Ours, on the other hand, is almost boring. A roundabout and straight cross streets.
