Hello everyone,
this thread is meant to be a bit more positive .
I’ll start: these are things I would definitely do again:
- Brick facade (but only a fully colored one)
- Clay brick
- Two stories
- Controlled residential ventilation system
- Smart home
- Minimum clear ceiling height of 2.60m (8.5 feet)
- Large windows
- Open-plan design
What about you?
Best regards

A question regarding this "... divided windows with fixed lower part, ...", please ignore if you find it silly: What is the purpose of the fixed lower part, what advantage does it offer from your point of view? Is it for security in higher floors? Do you mean a fixed lower part as a "transom" that replaces the security function? It's purely a practical matter, so you can leave window decorations, plants, or kitchen herbs on the sill when you ventilate. I often air out rooms and sometimes for longer periods. Visually, I also find it appealing, especially with larger windows. In the bathroom, we also had the lower part made with frosted glass for privacy.

My husband and I are building for the first time and are looking for practical ideas.

Same here... we also find these gratings in front of the windows on the upper floor very unattractive. So, one third was fixed glazing. I am planning the security with glass fittings. Our current favorite remains cost-neutral this way. However, it might conflict with my desire for shutters and, of course, involves more plastering work.
We have about 30cm (12 inches) of base with a window sill, then 50cm (20 inches) of fixed glass, followed by the opening section. It’s really great—children like to sit there and look outside, you can place things on it, there’s plenty of light in the rooms, and it also looks good from the outside.
