Does the architect's design provide for a room height of 2.75 meters?

Hello everyone,
received the architect's draft today. It provides for a room height from the ground floor floor to the first floor floor (see image in the attachment).
This seems a bit low to me as the ceiling will add about 20 cm, the screed about 5 cm, and insulation 10 cm. That makes a room height of 2.40 m for a room of 45 sqm!

This seems almost too low to me. What is your room height like?

Best regards

Speer

Hi. For a new building, a ceiling height of at least 2.50m is generally standard. 2.40m would be sufficient for me personally. Let's see what others think about it. Best regards

2.40m would be clearly too low for me. I was just last week at friends' new build (constructed by a large Dutch provider) and there the ceiling of 2.40m once again seemed too low to me. This is especially noticeable in larger rooms with little light (e.g. terraced houses). We are planning with 2.65m (but also with 62sqm living room).

That would be too little for me in such a large room, especially if you are building with an architect and have free choice, I would build higher (if the development plan allows it). We will have a clear height of 277 cm.

I think it depends somewhat on the rooms. My parents have an attic apartment with about 110m² and a ceiling height of 2.40m. I always found the height quite comfortable, which may also be due to the sloping ceilings. However, none of us are taller than 1.73m. With a very large living room, on the other hand, I can imagine that 2.40m might feel a bit oppressive.

Hello everyone,
thank you very much for the responses. I just measured our rental apartment and its ceiling is 2.45m high (from the floor covering to the ceiling). Since I am almost 2m tall, I can touch the ceiling with my fingertips when my arms are stretched out and I am standing on tiptoes. It is an open living kitchen with dining area and living room of about 60sqm.

The development plan is already exhausted regarding ridge and eaves height. I am just unsure what really suits me because I have no point of comparison. At work, the hallway to the offices is 2.80m high and rather narrow. That seems rather strange to me because even I feel a bit small there.

How did you all build or plan?

Best regards

Speer
