Since the old thread was a complete mess, I’m starting this new one here:
Development plan/restrictions: No development plan, initial inquiry with the municipality received positive feedback.
Plot size: 884m² (9509 sq ft)
Slope: Approximately 1.5m (5 ft) slope across the building width from north to south. Leveling out flat toward the street on the south side.
Number of parking spaces: 2 garage spaces
Number of stories: 2
Orientation: Dining/cooking areas facing south
Homeowners’ requirements
Style, roof type, building type: Urban villa, hipped roof
Basement, floors: Basement included, 2 floors
Number of occupants, ages: 2 (27 & 24 years old), planned total 4
Office: family use or home office? Home office
Guests staying overnight per year: few / couch is sufficient
Open or closed architecture: Open plan, living room separated by room divider
Conservative or modern construction: Modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: Open plan, kitchen island absolutely necessary (for aesthetic reasons)
Number of dining seats: Large dining table for 8-12 people
Fireplace: Yes
Music/sound system wall: 5.1 surround sound for TV
Balcony, roof terrace: No
Garage, carport: Garage
Utility garden, greenhouse: Yes
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons for chosen or excluded features: Living room is mainly used for watching TV, so south-facing orientation is not necessary
House design
Planned by: Planner
What do you like most? Why? All our wishes are included: straight staircase, laundry chute, cloakroom near the front door, pantry, kitchen island
What do you dislike? Why? The middle window on the south side is quite close to the bay window.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 430k
Preferred heating technology: Air-source heat pump
If you had to give up some details or upgrades:
- What you could do without: laundry chute
- What you cannot do without: pantry, kitchen island, straight staircase
Why does the design look the way it does now? Countless drawings from us that the planner built on.
Which wishes were implemented by the architect? A mix of many examples from various magazines, our ideas, and our stubbornness ;-) ...
What do you think makes the design particularly good or bad? We think it’s very successful but welcome further suggestions

MIA_SAN_MIA__4 Jan 2018 11:58I just met with the structural engineer, and we agreed that the two walls need to be load-bearing anyway. Therefore, they must be at least 17.5cm (7 inches) thick, so that issue is settled.

Even though I personally prefer “white” on the inside due to the lack of advantages of “red.” But with your project, it will probably start with the exterior wall, so it likely isn’t an option. Why do you think it wouldn’t be?

We should make the two walls load-bearing anyway. I don’t understand that — especially making both load-bearing at the same time — nor how it would align with the ground floor (GF).

Why do you think it wouldn’t?That’s where the saying “Never mix white and red” comes from. Different shrinkage behavior = cracks.
Interior walls made of sand-lime bricks combined with exterior walls of other materials I would consider a "tested and proven experiment." I would have no reservations about that.
