North terrace

ELW

Roof terrace

These are things that come far down on the priority list. Just see what the interior design does. The roof terrace is planned along with it. By the way: what about the view, which is the cause of all the doubt? I would mentally shift the ELW to the second basement level (it won't be implemented anyway) and I consider the north terrace a joke in the original planning anyway.

A north-facing terrace, a joke. Probably haven't sat on a south-facing terrace in 30 degrees for a long time?

A north terrace is a joke. Haven't you sat on a south terrace at 30 degrees for a long time?

Sure, every day, if the weather cooperates. But I was talking about your original plan. That north terrace is a joke, since you cannot reach it from the house and it was simply clumsily drawn in front of the basement children's room afterwards. Without sense and without understanding! Added to that is the questionable idea: your roof terrace is half covered, partly facing east. That means you can sit there very comfortably, as the sun never gets through the covering. Only the front part gets sun. So I would rather plan a warm spot for the April/May and Sept/Oct days that I can quickly reach with a coffee cup in hand than an inaccessible north terrace between the house and the slope. But if you make the balustrade a bit airier on the south side, that would be an option.

In post #76 you have a usable Nordgarten on which you can definitely place a seating area. And the SO terrace directly next to the kitchen.

Therefore, I would have been interested in your opinion on my question. Prefer a back exit or bright rooms?

That’s why I was interested in your opinion on my question. Prefer the back exit or bright rooms?

I don’t quite understand how far you want to extend the basement so that rooms with north-facing windows and a slope in front really become bright? In that respect, an accessible, usable terrace would be more important to me. In the basement, you can possibly also have rooms that extend the full depth, which then simply have no windows at the back but still get light, or you have actual cellar rooms in part, where heating technology, for example, can be installed. To me, it seems like you’re generally against cellar rooms or is it because of the ELW plans?
