Hello everyone,
I took Yvonne’s PDF and your comments on the socket topic to heart and tried to place the sockets and switches. Does this make sense? I mentally went through all the walking paths and thought about possible devices.
What concerns me a bit more are the doors... first, the patio doors in the kitchen leading outside, and second, the pocket sliding door between the living room and kitchen.
For the patio doors, especially which parts should be operable – or should it be a sliding door after all?
Regarding the door from the living room to the kitchen, I feel uncertain because I haven’t found a nice pocket double sliding door yet... A double hinged door would of course also work, but it takes up space. What do you think?
How is it generally? Is a door leaf usually left open? Or both? (This also relates somewhat to the door between the hallway and dining area. In our apartment, I think all doors are usually open...)
Thanks for your input. I hope everything is at least somewhat clear (legend is below the image).
L = Living room (2 switches)
B = Bedroom
U = Under the stairs
H = Upstairs hallway
E = Entrance hallway (ground floor)
C = Cloakroom
W = WC (in the bathroom 😉 )
K = Kitchen
D = Dining
O = Outside
S = Utility room
Ba = Bathroom (ground floor)
Green = Network
Orange = Sockets
Blue = Switches
Number = Quantity

Your link was broken 😉 But after a bit of searching, I managed to find it. You have a very large glass door wing. I’m just worried that it might look like two doors were added later. There is enough space for either option – double door or sliding door. But of course, that’s not possible if the outlets are going to be placed there 😀 Thanks anyway for your input.

Sebastian7919 Jun 2015 14:08Yes, you basically end up with two doors one after the other 😉
@BeHaElJa I would suggest adding a power outlet in the bedroom corner near the bed. Also, split the two outlets next to the window to the left and right sides of the window.
In the bathroom, plan for one outlet behind the door so you can plug in a bulky hairdryer there. (Perhaps a dresser or wall cabinet will be placed there later.)
In the kitchen, I would place an outlet centered above the wall cabinets on each wall, and also install a light switch for those outlets (for task lighting or indirect accent lighting).
Regards, Yvonne

@milkie: Unfortunately, we don’t have a view of the Alps 😀 The window layout is still to come – but aren’t such large units very expensive?
@Yvonne: The electrician suggested outlets above the countertops. In our kitchen design, we don’t have any wall cabinets, only a row of tall cabinets.

Sebastian7919 Jun 2015 20:16How wide is the element? I recently read that triple glazing usually needs to be divided if it’s wider than 3 meters (10 feet).
We have a fixed element that is 2.50 meters (8 feet 2 inches) wide, which isn’t really expensive (around 650 euros).
