Floor plan draft for a 220m² single-family house

The first attachment shows how we are currently living rented (on the 1st floor and in the attic). Just to see....

The other two houses from the neighborhood I have now photographed again as announced. Personally, I could very well live with a shed roof, for example. In our case, the higher side then facing the garden. Although I am not sure if the current draft proposal is even suitable for a shed roof.

I also photographed a classic Bauhaus, which I find not bad at all with an overhanging roof. Subtly enlivened, structurally solid. Unfortunately, something like that in clinker will not work but only in the painted white.... well, that can also be painted every few years....

My wife was with me just now. Unfortunately, she doesn't like either. She would agree to it, but we both want to live happily in our house for decades....

I could live without worries with everything - shed roof, hipped roof, and flat roof with overhang. The coolest, I find, is such a shed roof as in the photo! Really great! As written above, it would of course be interesting to know whether that would fit with the current building that is planned.

The house in Bauhaus style appears to me especially interesting because of the venetian blinds. Without venetian blinds, it would be significantly less interesting.

So, for me, a "classic" hip roof has an angle greater than 45 degrees. Take a look at Kaffeemühlenhaus, there it is classic.

What do you mean by "obtuse angle" - the one at the roof apex?

I meant the shallower roof slope.

The first installation shows how we currently live as tenants (on the 1st floor and in the attic floor).

From the same perspective but behind the wall, I would like to see that sometime.

Personally, I could very well live with a monopitch roof, for example. In our case, the higher side would then face the garden. Although I am not sure whether the current draft proposal is suitable for a monopitch roof at all.

So far, all proposals. The "conversion" to it (with an open underside of the roof) could be done quickly, not so with the hipped roof (with attic).

I find such a monopitch roof like in the photo the coolest! Really great!

I like it too. Also moderately pitched like that.

The barrel roof looks familiar to me, is it the same walking area as in the picture with the two tent roofs, there were also some like that in the background?

I also took a photo of a classic Bauhaus, which I find not so bad with an overhanging roof.

The one on the left, with the surrounding roof terrace, whose corner is hidden behind the small tree?

I think the house in Bauhaus style especially comes to life through the external Venetian blinds.

So the one on the right in the same picture? - I would have thought you would only like the left one because the right one doesn’t have this lid-plate overhang.

Without Venetian blinds, it would be significantly less interesting.

Without Venetian blinds, it would be significantly less Meiermüllerschulze 2015.

Have I understood your usage correctly now: "classic Bauhaus" means to you when it is only white and the roof lies on top like a granite slab on a grave, and "Bauhaus style" when the roof is "not visible" and there is also gray on the facade?

From the same perspective but behind the wall, I would really like to see that sometime.

Voilà!

The barrel roof looks familiar to me, is that the same walking area as in the picture with the two tent roofs, there were also such ones in the background?

Yes. All the houses shown here come from the same neighborhood.

So the one on the right in the same picture? – I would have thought you only liked the left one because the right one doesn't have that overlapping panel overhang.

The left one would be somewhat like the one we live in now. But those are two full floors plus a recessed story and therefore don’t fit our concept. I was indeed referring to the other house.

The house has no roof overhang. But when I looked at it calmly earlier, I pictured it both with a roof overhang and also quietly made myself aware that the house is actually not so bad already with the openings it currently has – even without an overhang. I think such a house can only be taken with plaster; with clinker or partial clinker, I don’t think it looks so good.

Without venetian blinds it would be significantly less Meiermüllerschulze 2015.

You mean with classic roller shutters it would look better or at least more unique?

When looking at this house calmly, I come to the conclusion that what we had as an already approved but not buildable design in the running really wouldn’t have fit well. Too many corners and edges, therefore overall too restless and also structurally more than just disadvantageous in terms of cost-intensive.

Did I understand your terminology correctly now: "classic Bauhaus" means to you when it is only white and the roof lies on it like a granite slab on a grave, and "Bauhaus style" when the roof is "not visible" and grey also appears on the facade?

I think sometimes you shouldn’t take my statements too seriously.
I hadn’t subdivided my thoughts that finely. Classic Bauhaus simply means to me that cube look... mostly medium-sized to large windows... understatement... mostly white plaster... but let’s just forget that and not distinguish between Bauhaus style and classic Bauhaus style. Honestly, I hadn’t consciously done so in my statements either, so forget about it.

However, I can hardly imagine Bauhaus style – especially the photographed house – without venetian blinds. I think that fits together so well. We have roller shutters... I don’t find it so bad... why? No idea!!! Maybe because of the 2.5 floors or the different window shape... if I already had white plaster and built a Bauhaus, then gladly with venetian blinds!

What a day... now I’m really starting to consider the roof... it’s hard enough to draw the “right” conclusion just for yourself. Coordinating with your partner on top of that is tough, I tell you.

My wife is still clearly in favor of the hipped roof. If I don’t want that, as a compromise a flat roof (whether with or without overhang doesn’t matter to her), but she can’t imagine a shed roof at all... although she said, before we start all over, she would even swallow that if the current floor plan stays. But that’s something we have to decide together... I don’t push her so hard into a corner only to have it held against me later.

The house has no roof overhang. But when I looked at it calmly earlier, I imagined it both with a roof overhang and also took a good look at the fact that the house is not so bad already with the openings it currently has – even without a roof overhang. I believe such a house can only be taken with plaster; with clinker or partial clinker, I don’t think it looks that good.

Where it has gray plaster surfaces, it could also have gray / violet-tinted gray clinker surfaces.

However, I can hardly imagine the Bauhaus style – especially the photographed house – without external blinds. I think they harmonize so well together. We have roller shutters at our place....

The intended uses are different, so I would rather not compare them. I think roller shutters are okay, just not if they are standard light gray on a white and anthracite house.

where she said, before we start all over again, she would even swallow it if the current floor plan stays as is.

A clear sign to take a break now.
