House Design
- Architect

What do you particularly like?
The existing layout, storage space under the stairs, three possible children’s rooms, bay window in the living room, exposed steel beams in the kitchen and living room, textured clinker brick facade, overall style of the house

What do you not like?
So far, there is no natural light in the stairwell, which is why there is a desire for a partially open roof structure

Preferred heating system:
Geothermal

Why is the design as it is now?
The architect has fully followed our specifications and wishes

What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan?

Would a partially open roof structure be possible? Do you have any experience with this? Do you have alternatives to Wittmunder torfbruch clinker? If yes, where did you get yours?

Just wait, it will turn out fine again, there are definitely structural reasons for this.

I have complete faith in the magic of plaster.

I strongly disagree with that; otherwise, I would have kept that comment to myself. What I see there is a chaotic mix, including large-format slab stones embedded in a thick-bed mortar: even my grandmother would never believe that this is a masterpiece.

What is shown in the photos may look good in some parts, but I cannot identify much of it. When I go back to the beginning of this thread and try to match it with the layout, I notice that all your posts except for the “Hmm” in “#1” have been deleted. I see many windows, but also many dark “corners.”

The dark corners appear when it’s dark outside. We don’t really like many spotlights that make the entire house brightly lit.
I removed many photos here but thought a few impressions might be interesting. You are of course right that a chronological order would have been better—sorry for that.
