Good morning,
So there are 2 drafts from different companies and also the rooms are somewhat different.
A masonry parapet will be around the stairs and to the attic with a railing.
We simply want to use the property towards the back since there is a large open space until the next house.
Our current house has the same orientation as the draft before the mirroring and we are completely satisfied with that. We are absolutely not sun worshippers and we do not need this heat in the rooms during summer either. The big girls would like rooms with sun and they will get them.
It is true that no one is there on weekday mornings but on weekends when everyone is together, breakfast can be had on a sunny terrace and in the afternoon you can have sun in the living room, and I think the other rooms are not dark.
An entrance to the house belongs to the front for us, we simply don’t like it on the side.
So many factors play a role in such a house, I think you cannot have everything and have to decide what is more important for yourself.
