Hello everyone,
I have read several times that symmetrical facades are not particularly popular among experts.
What is the right degree of asymmetry? The golden ratio? The Fibonacci sequence?
What makes a building interesting, and do you have any examples?
I, of course, designed my extension to be perfectly symmetrical.

I’m not particularly familiar with experts. Regarding symmetry, I regularly point out a) that it can be overdone; b) that it complements but does not replace proportion and other aspects or dimensions of aesthetics; and c) that when given too much priority, it can dangerously compete with more refined planning values, leading to poor design quality. A toxic combination of symmetry and a straight staircase can turn a beautiful house into a pseudo-mansion.
Golden ratio / Fibonacci, Collatz, Euler... – You should plan the extension more harmoniously. I hope you’re not seriously considering that Frankenstein extension: having the knee wall only on the extension just doesn’t work; plus the window sizes don’t reflect the scale of the main house. Also, floor-to-ceiling windows, oh dear. And then the horizontal window in the upper living area – what on earth!Where can you see the rest of the house and that this wouldn’t fit?
Personally, I like the design in a Büllerbü style….

How would you have done it?That was your question. Both Ypg and I pointed out that we would not heat the house using two heating systems (radiators and underfloor heating). This is because these systems usually require different supply temperatures.

It is clear that radiators and underfloor heating each require a different supply temperature. Currently, this is not a priority on the investment list.

4. The building permit / planning permission is approved, there isn’t much room left for major changes.
Maybe I should have asked this forum earlier. How would you have handled this? You definitely should have consulted the forum earlier. Then you wouldn’t be facing the question of how someone who posted here just now can ask why their architect didn’t inform them of this :-(
As I tried to explain in my previous reply, I would have derived the additional elements based on the existing concrete features and proportions. Did you actually hire an architect, or rather a structural engineer?

What exactly is the problem with the knee wall? Too small? Too high? Only in the extension.

A real architect already.
There are two steps down to the lower part of the extension. That is why the windows are not floor-to-ceiling.
