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?

The closet situation in the bedroom is actually really poor. I’m wondering if the bed could possibly be rotated. Then there would be direct access to the bedroom and another wardrobe could be placed against the wall. The small window would need to be moved a bit. That way the closet in the dressing room could be extended across the entire wall. I would also extend it around the corner at the back.
Floor space almost tripled! *patting myself on the shoulder* Great.
I completely agree with all of Katja’s points. See above: entrance, dressing room, setback distances.
I also find the entrance area too awkward.
I was even thinking about mentally rotating the staircase 180 degrees and moving it to the corner near the WC/cloakroom.
I also rarely like brick cladding… because bricks and houses all look the same and often cheap nowadays.
This industrial style is amazing! It will probably look very good later. I’d be happy if you update the picture thread later.

spochtsfreund28 Mar 2018 21:51Hello, I’m happy to send pictures.
We will definitely replace the door upstairs. You are probably right about the hallway, but with our design, you can almost walk to the guest bathroom downstairs nearly undressed without being seen from the front door. Personally, I don’t like unused space at the sides when it comes to building on the property boundary. Also, in my opinion, this makes the house look less bulky. But of course, tastes vary.
Thanks to your ideas, we are now planning a skylight above the guest bathroom door and the wall in the dressing room.
Does anyone have experience with an open roof structure with sleeping platforms for the children’s rooms?
I would also be very happy to get great alternatives to brick cladding.
