First drafts/floor plans for semi-detached house 6x12m

What all needs to go into the utility room? Do you have gas heating?

The laundry room upstairs is quite small. I don't find that too bad at first, but where do you hang the laundry in winter? Probably in the studio. Do the 3 kids then dutifully carry the laundry upstairs? That will probably be a pretty big pile. Where to put it? Also in the studio? In the end, what matters is what is practical for everyday life.

The hallways are all quite narrow, how wide are they? But with such a narrow design, that is probably inevitable. What I don't like: when you can see straight through from the entrance all the way into the living room. If you have the window open in the living room and then someone comes in the door, you get the strongest draft in the house. So, no vestibule.

Otherwise, you must not have nightmares where you suddenly wake up startled, that gives headaches.

But otherwise I like it.

Hello,

In our case, the element is installed in a 17.5 cm thick load-bearing interior wall. Nothing is doubled up there.

I can hardly believe that....

A sliding door running inside requires a good 10 cm, the remaining wall structure would be too thin for me. Moreover - such a modified load-bearing wall would likely have lost its meaning and purpose. Was a beam planned?

Rhenish regards

The load-bearing wall was specially planned accordingly. The stones for the entire wall are specially "heavy" stones. And above the 2m wall opening, a corresponding lintel was cast.

Of course, everything was discussed with the structural engineer and also not realized like this for the first time by the general contractor.

There is no "remaining masonry" in the hole. The entire wall was built accordingly with "heavier"/"more stable" stones with a 2m large wall opening. The sliding element is installed into this, and the part where the door disappears is clad with drywall, then wallpapered, etc.

Here is a photo of how it looked in the shell construction phase:

Hello,

Then it is indeed a variant described by the Doc. In your construction project, the contractor simply installs a drywall partition in front; this also means the wall is doubled at this point (whether masonry or drywall is irrelevant). So, with the required stone and lintel, that also works ... I was already startled.

Here you can see once again how important meaningful information is. If I had known the execution before my answer, I would have saved myself the typing

Edit: are you building with pumice?

Rhenish greetings

No, the drywall cladding ends flush with the wall on the left. So including the drywall cladding, the system fits into the wall opening.
