So the beautiful is sacrificed for the practical - but fortunately not in every corner and cranny of the house. Up there would have been a good place for a hot tub. By the way, the two of us get by with a 3m wardrobe for clothes (my wife switches between summer and winter, shoes are mostly in the hallway closet). I assume the combination of requirements for an outdoor dressing room will find little approval.

Wow, and you not only have the money to play developer - but you also don’t want to involve the future neighbors in the planning? – wouldn’t it be wise to already concretely select the candidates?

If you want to have control over this as the developer, I would build precisely this deviation from the mirror image.

I assumed that this height difference was the contribution of the topography of the plot to loosening up the ensemble, so the measure of the difference would not be arbitrary on your part. The joint between the houses will be more complex in the detailed connections than it can “pay off” visually when the building masses are offset in height and depth. If the plot suggests a height offset, I would take that and leave out the depth offset. Loosening up can be done more cleverly and cheaply in another way.

The floor plan set seems to me like it is from 1980 – overall impression and in more details than I could count or name spontaneously. Was the architect young back then?

Oh, I’m already so old that I still remember seasons :-)

These are mortar-filled joints that result from planning laissez-faire in the form of octameter ignorance: 96.5 instead of 100 cm (unnecessary sawing), 120 instead of 125 cm (cutting off 5 cm or filling 7.5 cm with mortar), 483.5 or 820.5 cm and so on.

I guess you didn’t reach anyone at the building authority today regarding my objection about the access situation?

If a plan is being made for an as-yet unknown buyer or tenant, I would align it as much as possible with general taste. That means planning at least one bathroom with both a bathtub AND a shower. With your floor distribution, that would be the bathroom on the children's level for me.

The open space in the entrance area over three floors is really cool. But in the attic, it is also the path from the bedroom to the bathroom. So if that is to be glazed extensively, people can clearly see from the street when you go from the bedroom to the bathroom at night in your underwear. Maybe design the open space over only two floors (which is enough for a cool light fixture) and have privacy in the attic.

I agree. Such gimmicks are great if they have functionality; otherwise, they mostly appear artificial. I can understand your impression and at the same time see no disadvantage in it. I would not go that far. I would definitely go that far – at least the possibility of a bathtub should exist. The suggestion to put a bathroom on the first floor will also broaden the choice of buyers, even if a living room has to be sacrificed for it. If that thought made me uncomfortable, I would solve it architecturally inside the house. Like with an exterior window, for example, a curtain would work. A bit more elaborate but possible is to create privacy through appropriate lighting. I would definitely not remove exactly that feature of the three-story open space.

Honestly, if I had that much money to appear as BU, I wouldn’t put a semi-detached house for Unknown on such a small plot of land. A nice single-family house for me and my family. Nothing more.

A few thoughts on that:
    [*]It is unclear whether access to the funds exists or if the funds are available as equity capital. That is quite a difference. [*]Even if it seems unimaginable for many home builders – why push to one's limit when building a house if you don't have to and can achieve the desired living situation differently? [*]Available liquid funds may not make you happy, but they undoubtedly open up an expanded world of possibilities – and that is not only in consumption but also for matters close to the heart.
