Ceiling height - What height have you chosen at your place?

I would be interested to know which ceiling height you chose and why?

If applicable, also from the basement in case you have built with a basement.

270cm on the ground floor and 260cm on the upper floor (each finished height including floor construction)

The feeling is more open than when choosing low ceilings. Room doors must match accordingly.

I would like that too. I have already been to various model parks to look. Changing lamps or spots is of course not so nice.

We have 2.60 on the ground floor and 2.50 in the basement. On the upper floor, an open roof truss with about 4m.

We think it's great like this.

We plan 2.635m from raw floor level on the ground floor and upper floor with a 14cm floor structure. Basements are 2.385m also with a 14cm floor structure. So, if you want to put it that way, complete standard.

Why? Because our architect specified it that way and it is sufficient for us. My wife is 1.55cm. The additional 10cm above is completely irrelevant to her and I was also not willing to spend more money on it.

Due to the higher ceilings, almost everything becomes more expensive. Apart from the surcharge for the masonry, especially the windows, possibly also the doors, if the standard height no longer appeals or also the guest bathroom (wall tiles). If the upper floor is raised as well, then everything x2. Last but not least, the additional volume has to be heated for the next decades.

But everyone can do as they please. The 2k€ for the additional row of bricks are at least not the only item that adds up.

Your question is not that unique either. Here you have plenty of reading material: 1
