pointing out where potential pitfalls might be, since we also made small changes hereYou have already found them yourself and even made significant adjustments: namely the changes that were downplayed as small without a hint of shame. Either accept the principle yes or no, but half measures are useless. Bauwunsch85 schrieb:
Current dimensions are 10.10x10.10m (33.14x33.14 ft)That’s because you removed the bay window. As economical as it may seem not to include one, it’s unwise to cut out an element that belongs to the design concept. You can also change the roof to a gable roof and then extend it over the bay window. However, I would keep the hipped roof here; as a truss structure it’s not as costly as a rafter roof. A gable on a square base is possible but visually it can make the house look narrower than it is deep. Straight, single-flight stairs work poorly when the ridge runs perpendicular to them.

The symmetrical arrangement of the windows in a city villa is causing headachesThose headaches disappear once I tell you that there is no such thing as a city villa symmetry law. At least, not in Germany; I haven’t checked Austria or Switzerland.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
