Floor plan optimization city villa + fill consideration

Page 158 shows a hardly legible plan of the ground floor.

Oh, I wasn’t aware of that. What information would you need to be able to help in any way?

The ceiling height increase is currently on my mind. My husband doesn’t necessarily find the increase necessary. Because of the L-shape, he sees the living area at about 40 sqm and doesn’t count the kitchen. He can’t see the kitchen completely from the living room. He says it also depends a lot on the furniture and that a lot can be achieved with interior design and furnishing tricks/colors.
But I don’t know if that helps that much.

Maybe people with standard ceiling heights can report here?

I’m also worried about the property value. Not that in 20 years a standard clear room height of 2.65 m will be built and I won’t be able to sell my house at a good price because of the ceiling heights in the ground floor of 2.55 m and 2.5 m in the upper floor. I know you only need one buyer, but still.

Your husband is right. You are above standard height. The effect on the resale value has already been discussed in detail —> none. In 20 years your house will probably be worth land only - demolition value. I'm curious if you will ever build... I can understand that you are proud to build (and you can/should be) and want to do everything right but you should also be aware that your build is rather run-of-the-mill (location, plot size, house size and features...). A run-of-the-mill Golf does not become an expensive collector's car just because you put on slick tires. 1. House for the enemy 2. House for the friend 3. House for oneself You are currently hung up on details. You won't get through the construction phase like that.

Now just stop whining here – especially against (who hasn’t caused any trouble at all)! Are you really so much taller than your husband that rooms are too low for you but high enough for him? – By the way, 12.5 cm is half a brick course. Your questions could be easily answered factually, but that would at most wrongly give the impression that I suspect your problem on the factual level. Never torment a draftsman as a joke – I’m starting to seriously doubt your moral suitability as a client, this is no longer a respectful way to treat the staff, Miss Princess! Or to quote Trapattoni once: I am finished!

So I can put myself in your situation very precisely .... what details we tinkered with and how often I couldn’t sleep at night because I felt like I had made some important wrong decisions .... I am definitely only building once, so there won’t be a house for the friend ... also completely got screwed over with the house purchase, my fear was huge to make a mistake .... I am and was definitely not a
but let me give you some advice:

1. you won’t get through it like this, and even your relationship could suffer .... as I said before, it is too late for this decision, so just let it be as it is, you build just like 100 others ...

2. if you think about such a small thing for so long now, you waste the energy you need for other things and then they fall behind .... that’s how it was with us ... yes the
laundry chute we thought about 100 times yes that fits now .... but if it had been crap I could have bricked it up afterwards .... instead I should have thought more about our window panes .... just as an example

3. set priorities .... I haven’t read here long enough to know yours ... is it design? Is it energy? Is it comfort? Set the one priority and stick to it .... things will go wrong that you never thought of, the most important thing is that your priorities are fulfilled!

4. have you already built your house in a 3D program? It also helps to better visualize key points ...

5. and let me tell you: no matter how many thousands of times you pay attention to details ... you will not be able to eradicate every single thing on
paper ... go there every day once it starts and check if everything fits, many
things can then still be quickly changed or adjusted .... and even if you care so much about perfection: there will always be someone from the trades who doesn’t, so go with a 90% is good enough approach

The ceiling height increase is currently on my mind

Besides electricity, bathroom window, staircase...

My husband doesn’t necessarily find the increase necessary. Because of the L-shape, he sees the living area at about 40 sqm and doesn’t count the kitchen. He can’t see the kitchen entirely from the living room. He says it also strongly depends on the furniture and that you can achieve a lot with interior design and decorating tricks/colors.
But I don’t know if that helps that much.

Your husband is right, as well.
Some considerations here are completely pointless. A ceiling height increase is not really important with 40 sqm and a corner room.
The resale value doesn’t rise either; a house is liked or it isn’t: those who come to terms with a used property are tolerant people who shouldn’t hang up on trivialities.
And if an outlet is missing in a corner, that doesn’t make a resident unhappy.
And your husband says it: you use colors, furniture, and other things to compensate for small deficits that aren’t worth increasing the loan for.

I already wrote it. We currently have 60sqm at 2.50m. That is wonderful. And before we decided to build, we wanted to buy and looked at some nice existing houses. We would never (never!) have paid more for a house because of the ceiling height. We always decided based on location, age, what else we would have to invest, etc. Ceiling height? It was never even remotely a criterion.
