We’re also at the construction site today, and the living room has just received its first coat of paint. Here’s the other side of our living room. It will be white, but I don’t think it will stay that way. It looks a bit clinical. Let’s see how it looks once the furniture is in. Tomorrow, I’ll start installing the flooring.

Oh, a cathedral ceiling. My husband and I have dreamed of having one, but unfortunately it would exceed our budget. We saw a bungalow with a cathedral ceiling, but our building plot is too small for a bungalow.

I took advantage of the good weather to finish the entrance area for this year.
Nothing major, but it already looks quite different. Planted a few yews, installed two lights, and filled the splash guard...

Wow. That’s one of the great things about building a house—you can see everything gradually becoming more beautiful. And depending on your mood, just a few simple adjustments can create a completely different effect.

@Pinkiponk only works for us because of the large plot and the view over the field. Half of the living room is completely covered with windows, which I imagine would be quite difficult in a "typical" new housing development.

We will also have a view of the field and forest behind the house and decided on several patio doors instead of full glazing. I would have preferred more, but since I want a symmetrical layout (ground floor and upper floor) on each outer wall, it wouldn’t have fit with the floor plan upstairs.
As soon as I have detailed documents, I will share them here—I'm sure you’ll have good ideas on how to bypass the laws of physics.

Sure, order all the glass in this dreadful satinato.

The best architects break symmetry for a good reason, and the elevation still looks wonderful. If you prefer living inside and looking outside rather than the other way around, I would always "sacrifice" symmetry for a better view.
