Regarding aerated concrete with a wall thickness of 40 cm, I "must" quote Konrad Adenauer with surprise: "you know more about this than I do" and the kitchen bay window, well, unfortunately completely ruins the view.

Aerated concrete normally has 300mm or 365mm as standard. The next larger thickness would be 420mm.

Thanks for the note about the standard sizes, I will bring it up with the general contractor in the next round. I had hoped that at the latest during the energy consulting as part of KFW 55, an unnecessarily thick wall thickness would be recognized and possibly adjusted.

I have been thinking further and considered two variants. Since a revision through the general contractor is too cumbersome for me, I spent a little crafting time this evening.

Variants A and B have a couch, TV, TV sideboard, and extendable dining table drawn to actual size. Both variants now have a house width of 12 meters, the kitchen bay window disappears. I moved the office/home office to the basement. I am still wondering what a partition between the hallway (below the half-landing stairs) and living/dining area could look like.

I imagine a single glass sliding door almost 2m wide to be too heavy. Two elements of 90 cm each that then run on 2 rail systems and disappear into the wall on the left side would be one option. Or two swing doors, but then a door would be somewhat disruptive in the room when open. Maybe someone has another idea... From gut feeling, I would guess this door would be open most of the time, but not always. Still, I don’t want to miss it.

In variant A, I swapped living room and kitchen and thought of low windows in the living room so that we are not exposed to views from the top side or the street. In variant B, I left the living room in its old place and enlarged it around the original office.

I’m curious about your opinions, although I already suspect which variant will be better received. I would be grateful for further improvement suggestions, especially regarding windows I find it difficult.

Variant a appears more appealing at first glance, as this corner of the cloakroom airlock is better utilized and the space overall is better covered. With variant b, you have unused expensive space in the middle (although I would rotate the dining table in each case). Question: How big should the kitchen be for you? With a, it is already very large and will certainly not be cheap.

Both versions are definitely an improvement. Contrary to the large faction that would always plan a kitchen facing the terrace, I find the everyday habits to be decisive. For example, my living room and sofa would always be oriented more towards the garden/view and only secondarily towards the TV, as I prefer a nice view (occasionally while reading, playing, or with guests) and certainly spend more time there than in the kitchen. We also really enjoy sitting at the dining table for a long time. The 3 meters more from the kitchen to the terrace would not bother me. Therefore, option b would be more my style. (a fireplace as a room divider between living and dining would come into perfect effect here, but you don’t want that )
