24 cm (9.5 inches) exterior walls? What is the exact structure?

I wondered about that myself.

That is intentional.

That's how it is.

Maybe in the last century. 😉
It's always better with light.

Whether the staircase fits with the knee wall and roof pitch ... unfortunately, a corresponding sectional drawing is missing. It could possibly be a tight fit.

Hello supporters!

Thank you very much for your comments, I will try to address them one by one:

The site landscaping is still unclear to me. How is the terrain supposed to look on the east side of the house? I’m especially interested in these walls or floors regarding materials, slope, fall protection, and water drainage:

Here, boulders from the local quarry are planned to be used, with the uppermost part having a gentle slope. Depending on this design, the railing might not be necessary, but that has to be reviewed.

The dressing room door opens into the 2 meter (6 ft 7 in) line. It will always be in the way. The best solution is to leave it out. I would have the depth of the wardrobe confirmed in writing, not the rough structural dimension but the final footprint including plaster, baseboard, and all the details. Is he planning to get these wardrobes made by a carpenter? I call that a last resort when you can’t use standard wardrobes and have to order bespoke ones for a generic floor plan.

The bathroom layout is disastrous. You enter and immediately run into a wall. Absurd. By the way, the door is non-standard. That is unacceptable in the main bathroom.

Please specify the exact stair rise!

The biggest issue is the chimney passing through the ridge beam. Before you ask: No, it should not be cut!

Why do you want to build with this gentleman? Has he shown you his architectural degree?

About the dressing room: true, the door position is not optimal, and we have also considered simply leaving it out. But for the cost calculation, it should remain included for now. I think especially on the upper floor, with stud walls, we can still optimize after the cost overview.

Regarding the wardrobe, it’s not about a carpenter-made piece but a “do it yourself” setup from IKEA components (to save costs). According to him, these will fit.

About the bathroom: yes, it does feel strange having the wall right in front of the door. However, we have visited a house built by him where the distance between the door and the shower wall was even smaller, and since the door is usually not fully open when entering, it didn’t bother us much. But we will note your comment on the door.

I need to ask for the exact stair rise; I cannot say right now.

Yes, the chimney through the ridge beam is obvious. The statement was: not ideal, but doable. How do you see that? Is this really a no-go?

We would gladly welcome suggestions and ideas for a better bathroom layout.

Why we want to build with him — just the key points:
- Architects in the region seem to be very busy; sometimes you don’t get any response at all, but that is not our impression here.
- We like the houses he built in the area, and the clients recommend him.
- He is very good at supporting and teaching self-build work, and according to clients, he is a “hands-on practitioner.”
- He is building the neighboring house at the same time and plans to use synergy effects; also, he will be frequently present on site.

No, we have not seen a diploma.

Window missing in the dressing room.

The dressing room window is deliberately omitted for now but would be easy to add later. The reason is that we don’t see it as essential and there is no direct sunlight exposure affecting clothing, etc.

Regarding exterior walls, comin

... according to the architect, a total of 12.5cm (5 inches) of insulation and exterior plaster will be applied.

Sorry, sometimes the end gets cut off somehow!
Best regards and have a nice day, everyone!

The staircase should work. The landing already adds 1 m (3.3 ft), plus 8 steps at about 24 cm (9.4 inches) each. That makes almost 3 m (9.8 ft) away from the wall.
