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.

After seeing the photo with the stair wall, we are now really enthusiastic about a wooden stair tread. So, we probably won’t tile the stairs as initially planned.
This kind of look I found also inspires us.

If you choose a wooden staircase, make sure it is properly glued.
At a friend’s place, they only used some kind of foam adhesive underneath, and after 1-2 years it started creaking when walking on it – really annoying!
Also, the concrete staircase covered with wood wasn’t exactly cheap.
Probably only natural stone is more expensive?

R.Hotzenplotz7 Dec 2017 21:54Understood. Of course, we need to keep an eye on the costs. So far, the plan has been to cover the currently planned concrete staircase with the same tiles that we will use on the ground floor. On the upper floor, parquet flooring will be installed.
If we were to choose a wooden staircase, how much would the price differ approximately from the standard planned concrete staircase? Would it be a significant difference?
Wood over a concrete staircase does not seem to be a good solution, based on your statement.
