Hanging house in the Southwest Palatinate - Our House Construction 2.0

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

I thought that at first too. But I believe it’s because there will only be a thin floor structure on the screed, but thick wooden beams will still be placed on the steps themselves. I assume that will make it work out. At least I hope so. =) We received the picture recently. They are beautiful – I’m really looking forward to it. :eek:

At least I hope so. =

But yes, that could fit ;), those are always such abstractions you have to keep in mind with stairs.

Things are moving fast - as of today, the front doors are in! Some rooms have been painted, and the bathrooms are progressing. Also, the flooring installation has started.
We now have the following "dilemma" – or rather, we are still undecided about how to handle this here.
This is upstairs in the hallway. On the right, this mosaic tile will be used as a "tile carpet," and around it, the matching neutral-gray tile will serve as a border.
On the left (bottom), there is the staircase with the wooden flooring shown earlier. On the left (top), the parquet will connect.
We are now considering how and where to make the transition.
When we initially planned this, we did not realize that the end of the stairs and the wall above are not aligned. A rectangular carpet was actually supposed to be created here.

If I keep it rectangular now, so that it ends in front of the stairs, then the parquet would run around the corner above, which would look very odd. If I end the parquet next to the stairs, the tile carpet would run around the corner there.
I don't want to break the pattern – so it should not be like in the photo. You could double the width of the neutral tile on the side in some places. Or you could leave out the neutral tile at the staircase transition – but that would also look strange?
Do you have any ideas?

Can't the coverings meet diagonally in the corner?

I would like to see a photo of THAT room afterwards, please. Quite extravagant the choice of tiles. I am very curious!

With such a tile size, square and the “frame” around it, I would try to start from the center of the room to see if centering can work. Loss at the edges would be rather unimportant.

What exactly do you mean by that? Or in which corner?

With tiles of such a size, square and with the "frame" around it, I would try starting from the center of the room to see if centering can work. Shrinkage at the edges would be rather irrelevant then.

We will post - we are already very excited. This is only in the entrance hall. We stepped a bit out of our comfort zone there. =)



This is basically the new realization that the staircase does extend so far into the room. I had previously assumed that the room corner on the right would be less wide than the staircase. If I manage to end the neutral tile in front of the staircase, I get about a 20 cm free strip there. If I let it run as in the photo, the patterned tile would end exactly at the staircase. You could at least do it that way, it fits roughly, we just tried it. But then we would have this gap in our border. Or we lay the border all around, something like this:

But then I think you'll somehow get problems with the pattern. My plan was rather to cut the single-colored tiles, not the mosaic.

What I would find absolutely brilliant would be if you left out the single-colored tile and framed the mosaic carpet with a row of parquet. But I don't know if that's even possible, how complicated it would be, and at this point I don't dare ask anymore. XD
