Hello dear forum community,

we are planning to build for the second time. The first time, five years ago, we built 175 sqm (1885 sq ft). Now we are moving and want to start the adventure again.

We have already looked at several options and have decided on this design. We are a family of six. Now we would like to hear what others think, because after about the tenth change, you don’t see everything so clearly anymore. The windows in this design are also not yet exactly how we want them and are currently being adjusted by the draftsman, but overall, it fits quite well.

It will be a KfW 55 standard house, equipped with an air-to-water heat pump (geothermal energy is not possible due to the water protection zone, and there is no gas supply in the building area), as well as photovoltaics with a storage system, a central ventilation system, and possibly a hydronic fireplace (wood or pellets).

We are curious and wish you all a happy Easter.

This is probably how it will be.

We also played around with the layouts ourselves. For the utility room, we prefer a door with frosted glass so that you can’t see directly inside (when no one is there) and an additional window (which can be covered with blinds) to allow more natural light, especially for the ironing area....

Why is the staircase to the attic usually not visible in cross-section?

I can’t say, I’ve already asked about that. Probably because it ends there, and there is no railing included either since a masonry parapet will have a continuous top edge. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see the staircase in the drawing if the wall were placed there.

That would make me suspicious. What does the architect say about kbts staircase representation?

I sent this to the lady on Saturday, she received it today, and the reply is still pending.

So, have you received an answer yet? I still believe that this won’t work as is. Also, is the DAME an architect? Is there an architect involved at all?
