Hanging house in the Southwest Palatinate - Our House Construction 2.0

Is that the living space / kitchen where the tiles are currently laid? Is that the 60 format?

No, that's the basement. :D More precisely, the rooms beneath the garage. Yes, those are 60x60 tiles. They are called Mirage. We had actually chosen a cheap clearance item that looked similar. Then the tile seller accidentally sold it to someone else. Therefore, we got these (rather expensive) tiles as a replacement.

Got lucky again, I'd say, they look totally good anyway. :D

What did you want to use the room for again?
I find "living on a slope" totally spectacular because I can't really imagine what that means. We live in the flat north, relatively close to your old house.

We didn't really plan them as living space at all. Originally, they were planned as shed rooms, outside the thermal envelope, since you can't just hang the garage in the air. During the shell construction work, we then decided to have it rudimentarily finished after all. The builder offered it to us very cheaply because he himself thought that this was actually "the sensible solution." He said you would never be able to do it so cheaply and easily again as directly in the shell construction phase. Accordingly, we now have underfloor heating and tiles there. The ceiling actually looks just like in the rest of the living space. However, the walls are only plastered and I assume they will not be wallpapered. And we have a proper door there so that we could separate it later into a separate living unit if desired. Currently, we have planned it like this:



The very narrow room on the left will be a small home gym. The room above faces the garden side and will serve as a "mudroom." The long, bright thing on the right wall are low Kallax shelves that we use as a seating bench and storage. There will be some coat hooks above them—basically the airlock between the garden and the house. And the two dark elements on the left are our old wardrobe that the catastrophic moving company pretty badly damaged. We have retired it; we don't want it in the dressing room anymore—it's too dark and old for me—but now we are placing it, separated into 2 elements, in the room as storage for tools, garden accessories, everything you need for outside, etc.

And the small room below, which adjoins the main house, houses heating, ventilation, buffer storage—and as an L around the corner we are also putting in some Ivar shelves for additional storage.

Cool idea. That definitely sounds like a sensible use. And I imagine a mudroom to be incredibly practical.

I also wanted one - it became a utility room with a side entrance between the carport and the kitchen with access to the hallway, where you can at least toss the dirt directly into the washing machine and wash your hands... I hope the compromise will work out reasonably well in practice... :)

I could take one with me sometime, but the feeling when you enter the house is actually not damp. Of course, that doesn't have to mean anything, but it’s not like the feeling when you enter the laundry room after having hung laundry shortly before. My dehumidifier at home usually says about 50-60, and it feels damp when entering. I no longer have that feeling in the house.

I don’t know what type of screed we have, but it looked very different from the old house. More like brownish-beige: That was one week after pouring. This is how it looks now. But of course, there is very fine white dust on it from the sanding work.

In the first picture, it looks like someone messed up the height at the stairs?! The first step seems significantly too low?
