Good evening everyone
I’m starting a small collection thread here for photos and progress updates on our second building project.
We’ve already moved to the Palatinate region to be closer to the construction site. Now we’re watching eagerly and happily as our (hopefully final) dream home takes shape near family.
One big challenge still ahead of us is the facade design. I really love the Nordic style with brickwork and mullioned windows. That won’t be possible here for two reasons: firstly, no one here can do bricklaying, and secondly, it would stand out too much. We will be going with a rendered facade. How to design the colors of the facade and windows to still create some country house / cottage charm is currently still a work in progress mentally.
Otherwise, I’m sharing our plans here and how it will eventually be built.
The support pillar marked near the kitchen island could be removed for a small extra cost, so that will be gone.
The room for “garden equipment” under the garage will get a partition wall for structural reasons.
It won’t be fully finished living space like in the house, but underfloor heating will be installed, along with a lockable door and a window. It’s meant to store garden tools but also some of the building services equipment, since the utility room (HAR) is quite small, and maybe be used as a party room.
We had three construction companies in the final selection. In the end, we chose the “doer” – a builder recommended to us here by friends and family. No website, no smartphone, but he is on site every day himself working in overalls. He has a very good reputation in this area and now rarely builds single-family homes. We were a bit lucky through personal connections and a very friendly initial phone call to get our foot in the door. So far we are very satisfied with this choice.

I would especially make sure that after the frame, you don’t start once with a full pattern and once with a half pattern... like in the photo where you indicated the installation. In that case, the option with a frame that is wider at one point would come into play.
Possibly, I would only use a simple frame and wood flooring for the area marked in red. It depends on what kind of furniture you plan on the right side. Maybe an umbrella stand or floor vase or something similar for the orange area.

The staircase is a concrete staircase with covered steps.Then I would make the frame as wide as the staircase fits into the room and cover the riser of the bottom step with the solid-colored tiles.
I could imagine that @Steffi33 would also have a knack for finding the right solution...

Then I would make the frame as wide as the staircase extends into the room and cover the riser of the bottom step with plain tiles.Unfortunately, the staircase goes from the ground floor to the basement. The entrance is on the ground floor.C
