Floor plan new two-story single-family house 200 m²

I actually hadn’t considered curbstones and splash protection, but I also hadn’t planned for them. Is splash protection even necessary with clinker brick?

I thought about this question again today. Does splash protection around the house make sense with a faced facade? I don’t think I’ve seen that around me (or I’ve never noticed it).

I can't talk you out of your feeling that it's not necessary.

No, that's clear. If you come to the conclusion that this doesn't help me with my attitude, that's perfectly fine and does not cause any animosities on my part. For me, the task is actually to get the current draft (with adjustments) safely to the finish line with the already selected general contractor.

Of course, this does not correspond to the modules you recommended on the journey to owning a home and therefore it's completely okay if this does not meet your expectations of productive work with clients.

But I actually wanted to know if my question regarding windows is better placed elsewhere; then I would gladly post it where it belongs.

Why should they? After building a house, there is enough to do... do students tell their teacher what has become of them?

Yes. I can say that from personal experience. Many come to school festivals, open house events, etc. I myself have recently been invited to class reunions. It's off-topic, but a necessary correction: The world is somewhat different there.

I thought about this question again today. Does a splash guard around the house make sense with a ventilated facade? In my surroundings, I don't think I've seen it yet (or I just never noticed it).

Yes. Even clinker bricks can get dirty and damp, making them susceptible to efflorescence and algae. Also, there is the plinth, which should also be protected.

No, that is clear. If you come to the conclusion that this doesn't help someone like me with my attitude, that's also okay and does not cause any animosities on my part. For me, the task is actually to get the current draft (with adjustments) safely to the finish line with the already selected general contractor. That of course does not correspond to the modules you recommended on the journey to homeownership and therefore it is also perfectly fine if that does not meet your expectations of productive work with clients.

As you can see in the already published "Reloaded" episodes of the house construction schedule, it can also be varied by advanced users and is understood as a guideline, not as a binding "law". Accordingly, for productive work with advisees, it is not strictly necessary that they proceed according to "DIN 11ant" and I have no static expectations. Overall, the advisees must feel they have made progress to appreciate my consultation according to the intensity of my effort. Everyone has to come to the conviction of the value of the advice themselves; I cannot carry anyone there. And my impression here leads me to suspect that you might react in private consultations as you do here, namely as "Trudes Tier" would say: "where [I]come from, certainly."

But I actually wanted to know if my question regarding windows is better suited elsewhere, then I would gladly post it there where it belongs.

Primarily, I am interested in the content of the question.

Does having a splash guard around the house make sense with a ventilated facade?

No appealing dirt-repellent or even self-cleaning ventilated facade comes to my mind for such a thing.

Yes. Bricks can also get dirty and wet, making them susceptible to efflorescence and algae. In addition, there is the base, which should also be protected.

I wouldn’t put any attractive dirt-repellent or even self-cleaning cladding on one.

Thanks to both of you for the assessment. Then we will probably plan it all around. I paid attention to it today on my way through the city and found cladded buildings with splash protection after all. I find it interesting that there are also many old buildings here without it, where in my opinion the brick is still perfectly fine. But maybe they are always cleaned extensively there as well.
