Explanation of the hype

I have a sauna in the apartment building. It doesn’t do anything for us. I also don’t know anyone in my generation who would be interested in a sauna. willo, you have a rooftop terrace, right? Imagine putting a hot tub on it if you want to invest in wellness.

I have already considered it, but the rooftop terrace might be a bit too exposed to really enjoy it. But having a cocktail in the hot tub in the evening... Also, I don't know if that would be structurally relevant. I do go to the sauna a lot in winter. But always with an attached wellness bath and so on. And I'm totally unsure whether I would enjoy a standalone sauna.

Dressing Room
What the Google image search delivers under this keyword is probably built by very few here. We still like our "walk-in closet" (which the builder of course called a dressing room).

Second Bathroom
We don’t have one; in the end, it’s also a matter of money.

Sauna
If sauna, then with a plunge pool. You don’t actually need that much space (which we don’t have anyway). If I had the money, I would rather build a sauna than a second bathroom.

Dressing room
we wanted one, don’t have a proper one. We can separate the bedroom with wardrobes and that’s it.

Children’s bathroom
At first the child(ren) are too small and how long a pubescent lives in the house is also a question. There is a complete second bathroom on the ground floor anyway. Then only the rain shower in the parents’ bathroom is good enough, or the bathtub has to be used once a week or the lighting in the parents’ bathroom is better for makeup etc.

Sauna
Steam sauna with infrared is still firmly planned. Helps incredibly well with my extremely dry skin.
Whirlpool is postponed. Will come one day or not in the garden. Nothing better than sitting outside in a warm whirlpool in winter. We fell in love with it in Iceland.
Swimming pond canceled without replacement for the time being.

I can think of more "hypes":

1. the pharmacist's cabinet

When you open it in a show house kitchen -> very nice. But when you have stocked it with all your supplies, you could feel sick every time you just want to grab a can of the same beans, but have to move several kilos with the guiding drawer.

2. the giant tub

Sufficient for 4 people, but when do you use it? Infinite liters are consumed if you want to relax alone once in a while. We took it for 2.

3. Le camin - the fireplace

It's stylish, room-dividing, but insanely warm when it first blazes up. We love it and then open the windows [emoji41]

4. open gallery

Ultra stylish and spacious - those who have it and love it have no children [emoji6] Sound also travels generously upwards, no trace of peace. It also consumes living space, so if you can afford it.... We [emoji23]

5. gable-high rooms

Here too: spaciousness. However, you should consider that the room is not too narrow, the roof pitch not too steep. Otherwise, a room can quickly feel unpleasant.

6. loophole windows

You can hardly see out of them. But it also has the advantage that no one can look inside, yet you have light and ventilation. I personally like them, these small windows of e.g. 50 x 50, and of course had them installed on the north side as well.

7. skylights

I find them brilliant: when all shutters are down for privacy, you still have natural daylight, e.g. in the hallway or living room.

Hypes:
- Anthracite-colored windows (we don't have).
- "City villas" (we have :P)
