The pure turnkey construction price excluding land? Thanks for the link.
- Shower is too short to plan a door there: the door will get soaking wet.
Good point. We hadn’t agreed on that yet. We would also swap the shower with the WC, then guests can get to the toilet faster. Now we have one more reason.
Don’t you like sun? The south orientation is at the carport, what a pity. I would allow myself a few more windows and living areas on the SW side and also plan a terrace there, anyway it’s best if the fridge and the kitchen are as close as possible to the terrace.
Yes, very much. But if the carport is on the right side of the plan and maybe two cars should go there, then the house on the left side would have to be pushed closer to the boundary. By the way, we almost swapped the kitchen with the home cinema, but we couldn’t really figure out how that would look. We didn’t like our attempts.
- Having breakfast in the hallway, without a view and the jam jar (and not only that :eek::D) visible to the postman and Amazon delivery guy, wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea ;)
We understand. We would also have breakfast on the big table at weekends. We are still not completely decided if the table will simply be removed from there. It was an idea for a quick coffee, a bite in the morning. The hallway might also be free then.
- Kitchen is not ergonomic, the island is too far from the rest at the bottom of the plan.
We agree. You couldn’t put together a decent kitchen island in Homebyme. That was difficult. We used a prefabricated one that we don’t like so much and now it’s there. It could really be closer.
- Walk-in closet, are the cupboards 60cm deep??
50 cm, that would be enough for us.
- Desk is also tiny and do files fit in the cupboard?
That’s enough for us. We don’t sit there often. Mobile working hardly takes place. Yes, they fit, we don’t have many. At the moment they fit in a lower cabinet of our current desk under the drawers :D
Can you say where you have the fireplace? I miss the flue.
Sorry, that should have been explained more closely. It is a suspended fireplace. The body at the bottom is like a UFO. That is the black spot diagonally left of the two sofas in front of the corner. Search “suspended fireplace” on Google. Of course, it’s a matter of taste. We don’t want to link any site now and later be accused of advertising :D
Home cinema
A few more lines on that. It is very important to us. We like to enjoy movies with surround sound, loud, and in a dark room. The cancellation of the extra room is out of the question for us. Maybe it is sized quite large, but that also results in great room acoustics. This is simply the special something or luxury we want to treat ourselves to. Fireplace and TV are not to be in the same room. We want this separation. The living rooms planned today on most builder unit sites and model houses almost completely neglect TV and hi-fi. The sofa is always against the wall. As an audiophile person who wants to celebrate home cinema, you despair completely. The window, which is not very big, is only there so that you can ventilate. When the room is used, it is also darkened. The room could possibly be planned a bit smaller or, as mentioned above, moved elsewhere, but not deleted.
Anyway, thanks for your criticism. It helps us a lot :)
