Floor plan self-designed - Realized single-family house

Historically but quite common. Who likes rain in the collar?

Historically quite common though. Who likes rain in their collar?

Yes, that would still be acceptable, although it is certainly not historical but was added later.

Congratulations on your great house! We are building a very similar house in terms of style in Munich and your facade really touches my heart, finally not a (Alp)nightmare in anthracite black with huge windows :) Here it’s anyway unrealistic to build a house with your final budget, but that it works SO well in your area and even with Biberschwanz (I would have dearly wished for that here too, but my husband brought me to my senses considering the price), great, you can really be a bit jealous :) By the way, I also find your driveway great and not over the top at all, it just fits the rest. I also really like the wall colors on the ground floor very much, it will be very similar for us. Only the bathroom is not quite harmonious to my eyes, but as always, it’s a matter of taste. Enjoy the time in your gem of a house and compliments on everything you have achieved with many own ideas and your own work!

Precisely because there are such expensive things on the house like Biberschwanz, I simply don’t understand the price.

Our budget from 2018/19 no longer applies here either. Our budget was only enough because I negotiated all trades from the town individually and myself, since we made certain overpriced offers ourselves (e.g., facade stucco of the windows, for which the shell builder wanted a fortune, and I only had the cornice stucco and door stucco installed) and because a lot was done through "neighborhood help."

I would really be interested in how your project looks.

Unfortunately, negotiating yourself no longer works for us either, because here you have to be glad if you even get an offer for the few things you still have to commission yourself during turnkey construction (earthworks, sewer, and utilities), and that is then so final like "take it or leave it, there are ten others waiting." Honestly, I can't explain how you would manage entire trades here without planning 7 years for the construction :) Fortunately, for the garden, we can also count a bit on our new neighbors and my cousin, who really knows someone who knows someone for everything and everyone and can then help out.
We are still in the middle of construction, and I'm still not sure if I want to present our house here completely when it's finished, mainly because our "little house" is my little baby, and the forum can be quite harsh when it comes to questions of taste, and one comment from a construction company, "what is supposed to be this style mix of a coffee mill house and an American house?" has already annoyed me :). But I can happily show you our visualization, we have changed the shape of the dormer, and there will be a wooden terrace instead of paving; otherwise, it already looks like this in reality, I simply love American houses and architectural elements from earlier times, and luckily my husband is not a die-hard Bauhaus fan and just let me do it :)

The comment is harsh and at the same time accurate. Should a builder be forced to build a coffee grinder with Smoked Eyes just because the building plot does not allow the size of the American dream? I think it's good that you adopted elements you like while also paying tribute to the limited building plot. You were creative and are building your dream. The house looks stately, unlike some townhouses pretending to be villas. What is the interior design supposed to look like? Something like Joanna Gaines.

We are still in the middle of building and I’m not quite sure yet if I want to fully introduce our house here once it’s finished, mainly because our "little house" is my little baby and the forum on the other hand can be pretty harsh when it comes to matters of taste and the comment from one construction company "what kind of style mix between a coffee grinder house and an American house is this supposed to be?" already really annoyed me

Go ahead, it looks quite nice. I like that considerably better than being presented with a white, completely style-less cube as "Bauhaus."

we have still changed the shape of the dormer

I would take that in the photo for a cross-gable rather than a dormer.
