House Design
Designer:
- Architect from a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why?
- open design
- all rooms we need
What do you not like? Why?
- corridor too narrow?

- little wall space for furniture
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: 400,000 €
Personal budget limit for the house, including fittings:
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump
If you have to give up anything, which details/upgrades
- can you give up: fireplace
- cannot give up: office / shower/WC on the ground floor
Why does the design look like it does now?
- visited a show home with a similar layout / 2 adjustment loops with the planner have been completed

Well, that’s basically why God invented hedges.But I don’t plan to wait for God on that.If you look at new housing developments, quite a lot has changed. You can find all kinds of privacy walls, fences, and gabion walls.

When I look at the new housing developments, quite a lot has changed. There are already all kinds of privacy walls, fences, and gabion walls. You know you’ll go to hell for giving tips like that, right? 😉

Currently, we are unsure where on the property to best place a double garage (6 x 8.50 m (20 x 28 feet)). Do yourselves a favor and have your two parcels merged for a small administrative fee—this way, the annoying setback requirements between your own boundaries won’t get in the way anymore, and the building layout can be positioned much more freely.

There are already plenty of privacy walls, fences, and gabion walls. Whenever I see those dull gabions, I always think the homeowners weren’t around to carry their large bulk order of charcoal straight into the shed.

The plots were combined as part of the purchase process. This is not yet registered in the cadastral map. We have some flexibility in the positioning according to Section 34. The existing building lines should probably be designed similarly to the neighboring buildings, according to the planner.
Our idea is to shield the property from the north and west street sides with the buildings (house / garage). This way, fewer hedges or fences are needed to block views on the remaining sides. Somehow, every solution has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Every solution has its own advantages and disadvantages, after all. But that means you end up shading your terrace and kitchen yourselves. I would much prefer a hedge in that case. Of course, it also depends on whether you prefer shade or not.

According to the planner, the existing building lines should probably be designed similarly to the neighboring buildings. In §34 areas, it is quite common to work with "de facto building envelopes"; official building lines generally only exist through local ordinances.

Our idea is to shield the property from the street sides to the north and west using the buildings (house/garage). This way, fewer hedges or fences are needed to block views from other directions. Every solution inevitably has its pros and cons. That’s true, privacy screens usually also cast shadows. I personally find it at least borderline pathological how much importance modern homeowners place on visual privacy. Besides, indulging in cream cake always adds to your waistline, whether you sneak it in or the neighbor watches you do it. Privacy screening is hyped here as if this forum were only for nudists with strict nuns on all five neighboring plots. People, relax.
