New development areas and how they look nowadays due to energy saving regulations, etc.

It used to be a huge site in an old district of East Berlin (former military area and restricted zone).

In 2006, things still started off quite reasonably. In the end, there are now around 500 houses. What’s interesting is that each year the plots got smaller, but the houses built on them became larger.

This was the beginning in 2006, as mentioned, still quite moderate:

Aerial view of a construction site with a crane, new houses, and adjacent row houses in autumn.



Aerial view of a construction area with new buildings, streets, trees, and red roofs.



Now, around 2017 and after about four construction phases, this is what it looks like:

There was no real zoning plan there. Practically anything could be built that was available in the portfolio.

OT: I would feel claustrophobic with these plots. The best ones are almost always in the shade...


Combining and rearranging didn’t go perfectly smoothly but it’s alright...

Regarding the roof tiles: I really don’t like the glazed ones at all. However, you wrote that they WILL definitely cause glare SOMETIME. So it hasn’t happened yet and is just a supposition?!

Honestly, I find it difficult to judge based on a mere assumption. If it should ever cause glare at some point, you still have the option to take legal action. It should be easy to win if the facts are that clear and intent can be proven [emoji6]

Unfortunately, I can tell you from experience: yes, they will cause glare... We have a house with a half-hipped roof and brown glazed tiles located diagonally next to and behind us... and when the sun shines, the glare gets into our dining room... We have venetian blinds (also called roller shutters or external blinds) and close them, so it’s no longer an issue, but that can’t be the solution either.

Can someone tell me where the pictures in this thread have gone? I can't see any in #1 or #52. How about you?

Well, since Pinterest has changed everything, many images from hundreds of threads have disappeared.

If I upload pictures here, what does that have to do with Pinterest? Are they not stored here, but there?

Probably something about making money again.
