Floor plan & house positioning Single-family house on a "curved floor plan"

Where the wood comes from definitely has an impact on the ecological balance, but in general it is simply a renewable material.

I walk through forests every week, admittedly only in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia, but elsewhere in Germany the climate is essentially the same. For years, the majority of the harvest volume has come from felling due to windthrow. Before one can again claim without closing one's eyes that structural solid wood has regrown, the forests must be given a good six to eight decades to recover. What has been harvested in recent years is sufficient in the best quality for rod and laminated timber trusses and floods the market with fibers and pellets. So solid wood (in the sense of pressed small timber) is abundant in Germany, but solid timber must predominantly come from imported overexploitation (have to). At a certain level of "consistency," you unfortunately have to paint your own eco-halo—or be willing to replace part of your naivety with reality.

Why do I feel like I have to justify myself again?!

We are not naive or out of touch with reality. Gut feeling. Period. New constructions are pretty unecological anyway, tearing down buildings is too, manufacturing bricks is too, deforestation is too, and by the way, driving cars is too.....

That's why I basically didn't want to respond I know the forum dynamics.

When a new floor plan is ready, we will gladly get back in touch!

Have the utility room confirmed in writing by the office. Make sure no one is left unaware when the building application is submitted.

Secondly, you don’t have to justify yourself for anything, and firstly, I always write also for the invisible dozen readers, who statistically correspond to one visible discussant. So you alone were not meant at all when I point out a handful of facts:
1. Wood is renewable, yes, but not overnight.
2. Sustainable forestry also means processing what is available in years with harvesting damage, instead of bringing forward the felling of the coming years just to meet demand.
3. Wood only grows in the form of whole trees. That means no one can only want the filet pieces (and leave the thinning wood aside just because it isn’t thick pieces). Ecological wood demand always also includes processing "waste" – which is a win-win with strip and laminated veneer products, for example due to stability advantages. Honest "eco" is always also a lot of deep reflection on connections. You can never write that too often and it’s not meant to piss anyone off.
