To add my two cents:
Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, and then half of them are immediately blocked by a sofa. This not only obstructs the view outside, but the blocking sofa itself offers, as an alternative, a view of ... a wall with a black box.
This is not an isolated case, but is often done this way.
My personal suggestion would be to rotate the sofa 180° with a double view outside: from the sofa and from the dining room without an obstructed view.
Solution for the flickering box, which in 10 years probably won’t be sold that much anymore: short-throw projector / laser projector on the ceiling above the window with a retractable screen.
Yes, that bothers us too and your suggestion will be implemented sooner or later.
Regarding the rest of the discussion... My two actual questions were:
1. Do you think there could be problems with the architecture if we wanted to sell the house?
2. Do you have any general comments on the design?
Question two was strongly discussed and the discussion certainly shifted. In hindsight, the further documents make sense and one would have liked the plot ratio, floor space ratio, etc. I also don’t think it’s fair to accuse us of not filling out the questionnaire properly. I could be snarky now and claim that the first post wasn’t read, because the questionnaire was answered. Yes, some questions were skipped, but I gave the reasons.
We skipped some questions because we didn’t want the discussion to be that detailed. As I said, see the questions that it was really about. Sure, hindsight is always 20/20.
On the first pages the discussion was great and no one cared that no cadastral map was provided, or that the GEZ etc. was missing. Then it drifted as soon as we disagreed and the mood got worse. Certainly I contributed to that, but I don’t take full blame for it.
Another nice example of how the topic drifts: Although no slope was ever mentioned and the drawings exactly reflect reality, they are presented as “distorted.” Now it’s speculated that there is a slope and then a basement makes more sense. Exactly the kind of conversations we wanted to avoid, because you can’t cover all topics in one thread at once.
I hope you understand what I mean and surely I might be wrong, but I find some messages here not very nice.
To satisfy your curiosity, here is the cadastral map and traffic area
