Hello everyone,
We are buyers of a semi-detached house (turnkey from the developer). A few days ago, we visited the house for the first time and noticed that two doors leading to the hallway (from the living area and the storage room) touch each other when opened at the same time. To help illustrate this, I have attached a screenshot from the property brochure.
We have reported this issue to the developer, but we have no idea whether this is acceptable or common practice. Is there a relevant standard or building regulation? After all, this also concerns an emergency escape route. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any information about this online.
Thank you very much for your help.

But that might be the simple and probably not very compliant with DIN blonde solution.Actually, you are using the secondary means of escape. Climbee schrieb:
From a planning perspective, I find this door completely useless and would also place it exactly there.I would consider it as well. Another option: have it swing inward.The door to the storage room is clearly a major design mistake.
My first move after moving in would be to take that door off its hinges, just like the door to the living room.
How are you actually supposed to get a stroller through there?
Come in through the front door, push the stroller in front of you.
Close the front door, then push the stroller back again.
Open the storage room door all the way, then push the stroller inside.
What a hassle...
