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.

Not a wall, more likely a masonry balustrade. I would find that completely uncomfortable. It would feel more like being on a level of an underground parking garage rather than in a living space. Such an open basement entrance also impacts heating costs. Or did I misunderstand the "crap"?

Stainless steel bars look different from above compared to lengthwise. 11ant schrieb:
I guess we have different images in mind (?)I agree with Yvonne. When you enter and see the bars directly in front of you, it looks like the entrance to a prison yard.R

If a wall is placed in front of the stairs, we could also consider a door to the basement.
The doors will be from Herholz. Model Atrium 21 or Signum. We find a door to the basement impractical.

So the design is already fixed in your mind, right!?No, we have mentally gone through quite a few options over the months. Fully glazed, stainless steel grille with or without glass, also different types of stairs. For a long time, the stainless steel railing was basically decided. The lighting designer gave us the new idea with the wall. We actually like it even more than the stainless steel railing. The architect also indicated on Friday that he prefers this idea over the railing. So I brought it up here. Until now, no one has presented this option and we haven’t come across it in any show homes.

We find the door to the basement inconvenient. What, no door to the basement at all? I mean, none whatsoever? What about heating costs?
I can’t quite remember the basement plans now. Were they already finalized?

There are two heated rooms in the basement.
We know many houses, both older and newer. I have never (!) seen any of them with a door leading to the basement.

Really? I know plenty of old houses, and they all have a door to the basement. Actually, I only know houses that have a door to the basement, and it’s definitely more than just two or so. So, you heat the basement, ground floor, and upper floor. That’s quite a challenge considering the size.
