170m2 single-family house in the Bavarian countryside

I find it very unfortunate that criticism is not addressed. Here, it simply remains the question about the bay window or the demand for the roofing. Arguments are simply dismissed with "taste." Then it's not a discussion!

I do take note of that :D For example, with the dark corridor, I will at least choose doors with glass elements (office door, vestibule door, etc.) to bring light into the dark. And also regarding some other points from you, I will see what I consider sensible from them. Of course, I see some things differently, but I read every single post from you and also from everyone else and pick out information and suggestions. I am really grateful for that.

Everything more like in suggestion 1?

Only continued analogously, not continuously. So you can saw out the intermediate piece again.

I acknowledge that :D

You can’t have a discussion with just that. We have taken note of your draft and ... said something about it ;)

With the dark hallway, for example, I will at least choose doors with glass elements (office door, windbreak door, etc.) to bring light into the darkness.

Yes, I am always in favor of also considering interior walls when it comes to alternative light sources. But here I don’t see it at all, even if you equip the entire office wall with light strips. Your windbreak will only get light through the door. From the north. That’s why the area right of the door, i.e., towards the hallway, will no longer get any light. The same applies to the office door to the hallway: north-facing window, 3 meters deep room, no light will reach the hallway anymore. The living room is also very deep, the kitchen light will be squeezed in... My opinion: it won’t work here! Other houses gain light from the entrance door element and the stairwell. But I also know that you are already very infatuated with this design, because you have been working with this variant "bending hallway, self-made brilliant staircase" for a very long time. But you simply didn’t consider this disadvantage. And thus the house will probably not feel inviting to you yourselves, because at the end of the tunnel is light... you don’t want to have that every day. Keep in mind: I don’t want to annoy you with this!

But I also know that you are already too infatuated with this draft, because you have been working with this variant „bent hallway, self-made ingenious staircase“ for a very long time. But you simply haven’t considered this disadvantage. And thus the house will rather not be inviting for you yourselves, because at the end of the tunnel is light... you don’t want to have that daily.

I originally wanted to have a window element at the staircase, but then the window would be quite in the corner next to the garage. It would probably look rather sh**** visually. The windows in the office are (just for completeness) on the west side. North would be towards the garage.

Could certainly also look good visually. I’m currently considering whether I might still make a small descent to the basement on the side into the bay window (i.e., on the basement level). Then a continuous roof would make sense again.

I want to praise you for two things, namely that the garage has individual doors and no passage to the house. But – with all due respect to the Bavarian single-roof courtyard – you are not doing yourself any favors with the attachment (or even the thermally and statically not trivial interlocking). Better place the house entrance on the front side of the hallway, possibly divide the staircase unevenly, and possibly give the basement only an external access (between the house and garage). Without having a concrete model in mind, I would like to suspect that suitable inspirations could be found for you in Baufritz's program.

I had referred to that as a diplomatic response to the exterior design with wood. Light and echo are naturally important issues. You can live quite well with artificial light in the hallway area. I do not see the narrowing hallway on the 1st floor as problematic, nor the light from the front. I find the staircase and entrance separation, unlike most, quite clever. Certainly purchased at the cost of other "disadvantages," but as a detail, I like it. Well, in our house, entrance hall, wardrobe, and laundry room are integrated into one anteroom – that could be a sign of "outsider taste." Nevertheless or perhaps therefore, I find it OK if someone rejects good advice because they are in love with their peculiarity. They will then have to live with the consequences.
