Hello everyone!
As some users have requested before, I’m now starting a new thread with the current planning of our detached house, which is about to be finalized.
These are the preliminary drawings for the building permit / planning permission application, and I have one last chance to review them and point out any issues.
It still seems to me that there is less than 1.20m (4 feet) of space between the two wardrobes in the dressing room. Or am I seeing this wrong? Apparently, the rooms on the left and right were overlooked and not adjusted accordingly.
Two Velux ceiling spotlights are still planned to illuminate the upper floor hallway.
In the basement, on the right side in the upper room, a window similar to the one on the left basement side is an option.
We still haven’t decided on the T30 fire-rated door to the garage, even though it is shown in the plans. Most likely, for safety reasons and the limited use of the kitchen at the other end of the house, we will eventually forgo it.
User 11ant pointed out that the right window in child’s room 2 is suboptimally positioned. However, this could still be changed after submitting the building permit / planning permission application. Our architect thinks moving the window to the left would negatively affect the house’s exterior appearance. We’ll have to see about that.

I met with the drywall contractor today. He told me that it’s quite normal to have even more pipes running through the rooms at times. He sees this in almost every project, and he has been working for two years for theIt’s not surprising that a drywall contractor, whose job includes boxing in such pipes, often encounters them.
People try to avoid it, but I think individual pipes or boxed-in areas are acceptable. It’s not a top priority, in my opinion.

So far, the opening is only in the sand-lime brick wall and not in the precast concrete ceiling, where it would also need to be to route the pipe through the ceiling. So, does that mean the ceiling installer was not aware that an opening was needed there?

I have never seen pipes run through an office and boxed in like that in other new builds.... I have seen pipes run through an office space before, although not in new constructions. But here we are talking about a study room in a private house.

The room served by a pipe is initially irrelevant. This is determined by the floor plan, depending on where drainage is required above.
The drainage has to come down somewhere, and exterior walls are usually avoided for this purpose. So, if it doesn’t work within the interior wall, the pipe shaft is used. I don’t find this particularly remarkable.

No, this house is (and costs!) not ordinary; issues like this should not be solved with a “let the chips fall where they may” approach, but rather in a suitably more elegant way. That was the original plan, but it seems the purpose of the construction drawings is not entirely clear to those carrying out the work here.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
