Hello everyone,
After reading quietly for a while and really appreciating all the ideas shared here, I’d like to bring up a topic and hopefully get some feedback, suggestions, and ideas!
I am 34 years old and originally from Munich, where I was born and raised.
Currently, we (my wife and I, with a child on the way, my sister and her partner, as well as my parents) are discussing whether to completely rebuild on our plot of land (currently occupied by a single-family house / 1000 sqm (0.25 acres) / 20 × 50 m (65 × 164 ft) / no zoning plan). The idea is to build a fairly modern house with two spacious living areas (each with its own terrace overlooking the garden, large living and dining areas, etc., and about 200 sqm (2150 sq ft) of living space), including an underground garage and a basement. A granny flat (or accessory dwelling unit) is also planned to be integrated.
I would like to start a discussion based on these ideas and am looking forward to any input or constructive criticism.
Thank you very much.

What I really like about our window planning are the corner windows. Here is an example. Why?
They don’t actually bring in more light.

However, I don’t see any signs of integrated shading solutions here; rather, it looks like they are missing or this is an older version of the plan with roller shutters and windows that do not reach the ceiling (?).

They don’t actually bring more light. A window wrapping around a corner may not increase the total amount of light, but it can provide more light if positioned cleverly (which sometimes involves going around the corner). Also, it’s trendy, which can add value to a property even in prime locations. However, I think these architects keep the stylish look within an aesthetically acceptable range, meaning the building won’t look outdated or ridiculous in twenty years due to current trends.

What I really like about our window design are the corner windows.My wife originally wanted corner windows where a 3m (10 feet) window would meet a 2m (6.5 feet) window. Our architect said that in such cases, it would only work with a concrete column inside the room or a steel beam in the corner of the window (which with cladding would be about 20x20cm (8x8 inches) in size). In the end, we decided to execute the corner as a normal reinforced concrete column (36.5x36.5cm (14x14 inches)) because we definitely did not want a column inside the room.
But those windows do look nice. If it’s not such large areas, it probably works without a column. However, I would ask the architect about that.
