Floor plan optimization city villa + fill consideration

I thought the same initially, my partner too. When I then told her, you could just put a plant shelf down to the floor there, she was back in favor of floor-to-ceiling. Of course, that also works with fixed glazing. However, you can still use an openable window for ventilation and for moving bulky furniture. Such a sofa can also be moved temporarily...

But for that the sofa has to stand far enough away from the window, and I don't think that will be the case here. You would already need a depth of more than 5 meters to be able to move it away far enough. And I don't imagine a plant shelf directly behind a sofa backrest to be very appealing either. The possibility of opening it is of course an argument. Then you could also take a two-part window that can be fully opened at the top.

A sofa in the middle wouldn’t be for me either. But I think it fits like this. Yes, you’re right, a blocked door probably looks worse than a blocked fixed glazing. Of course, the sofa reduces the amount of light a bit in this case, but that will be fine.

Yes, but at least it’s not a completely dark corner. I also think it fits like that. At least in no room am I afraid to sit in the dark anymore. Sure, the windows could have been chosen more boldly/more interestingly, but it’s also important for us not to sit in a glass house. For example, on the west side, we have only a large fixed glazing, because we happen to already know the neighbor’s exterior view and know that he has no windows there and cannot look inside.

We ventilate through the terrace exit. That should be enough. And we don't have a green thumb. And true, the sofa will stand directly next to the glass element.

Are you referring to the water softening system? These usually operate with salt tablets.

Or do you mean the resin cartridges where the water is demineralized?

In the water softening system, the water hardness is reduced to a tolerable level. You can use this water without any concerns.
I do not know why demineralized water (e.g., from resin cartridges) should not be used.

Meant the resin cartridge. Ok, I have to do some further research.

We air through the terrace exit.

I thought you were using a ventilation system.
