Bauhaus concrete villa with core insulation - experiences

Because children's evenings were usually childless before those very children arrived.

Exactly there lies the root of the misunderstanding: to believe that other people's "not" and one's own "before" are the same - that one would supposedly know it.

So, I have a small, super cute daughter, but I can totally understand when people don't want children. After all, children are a huge life change and a great limitation in many ways. If you don't want that (which I totally understand... I bet every parent occasionally wishes for the free time, spontaneity, etc., that you would have without children), it is definitely better not to have children at all than to have them due to societal "pressure" and then struggle with it. People who would like to have children but can't are really not to be envied.

Ah, the children discussion. I'd rather not say anything about it. But about the house plan: I would probably always plan my house so that it can still be comfortably inhabited later with 1-2 children. It's a pity if you kick the bucket yourself and the place gets immediately torn down or gutted just because 2 rooms are missing. Or you suddenly prefer to move to the South Seas in old age and can't sell the place.

Childless people against families is just as much a hassle as women who pursue employment against housewives, anti-vaxxers against pro-vaxxers, etc. One thing is certain: as a childless person, you avoid one or the other crappy discussion.

I don't know if you have to build a house bigger than you want at all costs. The OP is not that old yet and by the time the house gets sold, it will probably need renovation anyway. Why not turn the library into a master bedroom or add another extension?

The house is for the OP now and who knows what comes later

Since children were not an absolute must for us, we can live well with that.
My nephew and niece will probably be happy at some point. What they do with it then is none of my business. There are other things that are more important to me to be carried on accordingly.


We are not building with resale or reuse in mind. Even if we (unlikely) were to move away, the sale does not play a big role.
Therefore, it is tailored only to the two of us.

Again, to . Whether or not I grant someone something is independent of whether they have children.

So, back to the actual topic.
The building permit has now been granted.
Currently, the factory planning is being finalized and coordinated with HLSE.

I would probably always plan my house in such a way that it can still be comfortably lived in later with 1-2 children. It’s a shame if you kick the bucket and the place is immediately torn down or gutted just because it’s missing 2 rooms. Or if you want to move to the South Seas in old age and can’t sell the lump.

After I’ve kicked the bucket, I honestly wouldn’t care at all what happens to my house. But you don’t need to worry about the sale. We also bought a 3-room house (meaning there would be a children’s room, but no more). It was originally designed by the architect as a 2-person house; the builders were over 40 and had no children. So it really is tailored to the needs of two people. Even if we had a child now, we’d have to renovate first. But don’t think that was a problem. Even before (!) the viewing, three couples had already said they would like to have the house. We were just lucky to get the first viewing appointment and be able to commit right away.
