Floor plan of a new single-family house, 1.5 stories, 148 m²

I will take that as a suggestion to consider [satinierte Treppenhausfenster]

I have also thought about it before, but somehow I like the big window by the staircase. Is it more sensible to take a directly "milky" glass to prevent seeing through or rather work with film and possibly change the appearance later or remove it if not liked?

I would work with foil, then you are more flexible. For example, in the kitchen we only had a half-height foil. And there are different levels of transparency and patterns.

For example, one could have a frosted glass film plotted by vehicle and shop window sign makers that features a custom design - and possibly also integrates the house number.

The question is how often you run down the stairs naked. The recommendation is to plan for [Raffstores] there. You can operate them in the gap position and have light, while looking inside is hardly possible during the day.

Also a good idea, I’ll keep that in mind.


I need to check if the manufacturer does that for such a long window. Possibly also a pleated blind to close as high as you can reach.

Maybe that won’t be necessary if we redesign the house and place the stairs elsewhere. But thanks for the ideas.
