Hello everyone,

we are currently brainstorming ideas, drawing floor plans back and forth, and so on... basically at the very beginning.

I’m very curious about what unusual features you have incorporated into your homes. Any special elements, gadgets, functions, custom furniture, appliances, etc., where you thought, "I have to have this, no matter what."

I’m asking because over the weekend, I randomly came up with an idea where I exactly had that thought (I have to have it). I had never seen anything like it before, but when I started searching online, I quickly realized that such things already exist – honestly, I would have been surprised if I hadn’t found anything. Over the weekend, we visited an indoor playground with giant trampolines. Our floor plan includes a fairly large open space near the entrance, and I thought about putting a trampoline there. But I quickly dismissed the idea because jumping would make the ceiling feel too close. Then I remembered those safety nets often seen on construction sites, which can also be used as huge hammocks. I think that’s very cool, and if you search for "hammock net indoors," you’ll find some pictures.

I think there are so many cool things like this already out there, but you just don't think of them.
I’m excited to hear what you have incorporated into your homes.
If you want, feel free to upload 1-2 pictures.

Thanks and best regards,
sebisanu

For a flat roof, a skylight in the ceiling, of course with an electrically operated sunshade. Possibly also as an escape window, allowing access to the roof from inside via a ladder.

Install a partition wall in the largest bedroom to create a walk-in closet. Should I install a standard interior door or a sliding door?

That’s exactly what I’m building right now. It’s extremely difficult to find materials for such sliding doors.

Above, I installed an aquarium measuring 2.50 meters (8 feet 2 inches) long, 80 centimeters (31 inches) high, and 70 centimeters (28 inches) wide into the wall between two rooms. One wall is covered from floor to ceiling with artificial rocks, which looks great together with the aquarium. The wall in the other room is fully mirrored.
Wow! Show-off. PICTURE????!!!
I have planned a 2-meter by 60-centimeter by 60-centimeter (6 feet 7 inches by 24 inches by 24 inches) tank. The floor is specially reinforced for the heavy load. But it hasn’t been built yet.
