Construction of a 144 sqm bungalow in Fichtenwalde (near Potsdam)

Can I omit the fascia box on the canopy and make it a bit more open, and does that bring more light into the living room?

I only like omitting the fascia box with roof beams. You probably have plank trusses?? The color plays a role; if the fascia box is white, it will be brighter.

You are not giving advice, but trying to impose your opinion without ifs or buts.

This here:

then I would rather recommend lighter tiles/flooring.

Is not "imposing an opinion"!

Somehow everyone who even gives you an answer here has lost. Either the answer is judged by you as inappropriate, wrong, not informed enough, given under false assumptions, not in your sense, or from the wrong user. And whoever gives you fundamental hints has made a deal with your arrogance. The person might still be right, though.

But that already. You go around in circles. I read your opinion and say reconsider it. You say I am arrogant and do not accept suggestions anyway. Just read your posts again.

Omitting the roof box only appeals to me with roof beams. You probably have plate girders?? The color makes a difference; if the roof box is white, it will be brighter

We want to integrate lighting in the roof box. And the roof box will definitely be white.

Here are more pictures of the house. The plaster will be white and not like in the picture.

We were near Szczecin on Saturday at the specialist dealer for bathrooms/windows/doors. There were several companies in a huge building. I have to say they have a significantly better assortment there than Elements, where we were before. Also, the price-performance ratio is much better. And what annoyed me most at Elements was that there were no prices on the items. The saleswoman thought that if we are building, our budget is unlimited. Solutions we wanted, like the faucet in the bathtub, cost over €2000. In Poland, the simpler but equally good solution €500.

We will now plan and buy the two bathrooms in Poland.

I can't imagine that the quality can keep up with the common German manufacturers. You usually renovate a bathroom only twice in your life: once at the beginning and once at the end ;)

Accordingly, faucets etc. must last well 20-30 years.

Personally, I wouldn’t save at the wrong end here.

What is really overpriced in sanitary supply stores like Elements & co. are the bathroom furniture. For example, we buy those on the internet and install them ourselves.

Our sanitary offer totals €38,000 (for everything from the wall connection) for 3 bathrooms (shower + bathtub bath; shower bath; guest WC). Of that, €13,000 is for furniture & accessories, which we can get about €5,000 more expensive but higher quality on the internet. We decided on a series from Dornbracht, which is certainly at the upper end of the price range. If you take, for example, Hansgrohe, you’re probably a few thousand euros cheaper with the same functions and similar look.

And then second question. Parquet or tiles? We are now opting for tiles throughout the entire house. These, namely.

"We asked 10 people..." and in the end got 10 opinions.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of taste. If you ask me personally, I would always prefer natural over imitation. So why not parquet directly if you like the wood look? That’s how I would (and will) do it. But as you see, it’s a matter of taste.

Pro tiles: generally easier to maintain.
