I find the draft acceptable. Visually, it bothers me that although the house is a modern flat-roof house, the carport looks like that of a flat-roof house from the 1980s. Its wall made of exposed sand-lime brickwork does not match the plastered house, the parapet does not match the modern roof edge of the house, and the slanted front edge bothers me the most.
I agree, the carport will definitely not have exposed brickwork and will receive a different parapet to stay in style!
Likewise, the chaotic window format on the street side does not match the pleasantly structured garden side.
That is indeed a problem that has been on our minds for a while and for which we have not yet found a solution. Do you have an idea on how to bring symmetry here?
The 45° corner around the storage room – where I agree to omit the partition wall – is also 80s style. The chimney too, actually.
The slanted wall is actually designed that way only for space reasons concerning the entrance area, simply to keep the spot from feeling too tight. If someone has an approach to solve this differently, feel free. The partition wall, as already hinted at in a previous answer, will probably be removed...
Conceptually, I find the house successful, the parents' suite well designed, the window arrangement around the sofa area pleases me the most.
Thank you!
What I dislike is the stupid box mounted on the wall, which is currently hyped as the royal road of heating technology – but when I was young, people also wanted to find glass bricks beautiful at all costs.
Heating technology is ultimately a matter of belief after all considerations. Among other reasons due to cost, we decided on an air-to-water heat pump; we looked at and had explained multiple times all the advantages and disadvantages of the heating technologies on the market, even heating with ice was a topic thanks to a heating technician in the family, yet we came back to the air-to-water heat pump. The box will then be placed there and will not hang afterwards. It is on the side of the house where nothing happens and no one stays, directly in front of the HTR.
