Hello everyone, what do you think about the dormer at the top and the bay window below? They are not aligned vertically but slightly offset.
Does it look strange?
The intention is to bring more natural light into the children’s room upstairs, since only one large window was originally planned on the north side. Now, there is also a window facing west at the front.
We wanted to avoid installing skylights throughout the roof.

Bathroom upstairs to the left, then the children's room can be directly above the kitchen. Since the technical room is downstairs on the left, the pipes can be routed up there easily (so they don’t interfere downstairs). The bathroom upstairs won’t be as central anymore, but you have to make some compromises. The children's room will have the full dormer, which also replaces the gable wall there.
Ah, okay, I hadn’t followed that so closely. Yes, it’s better to optimize everything as a whole rather than changing individual parts.

This is now at least the fourth thread about the overall floor plan, which is being changed more and more in sections and where eventually nothing fits together anymore.

hanghaus202318 Oct 2024 19:34You are not answering any follow-up questions. Are such large dormers even permitted?
Otherwise, what do you need an architect for? They should be able to handle design-related issues like this.

But not larger, because then it counts as two stories...

It looks awful. I would have it designed differently. Benutzername12 schrieb:
What exactly looks awful? Exactly what you asked about. The gable/window arrangement looks too asymmetrical.
