Hanging house in the Southwest Palatinate - Our House Construction 2.0

I hardly dare to admit it, but I cold-heartedly stole the facade paint from @Steffi33. I just passed the color number on to the facade guy exactly as it was.

If you could possibly share the shade again? :) I really like it! I'm pretty sure I've asked here before, but unfortunately forgot where due to a lack of elephant memory, o_O

I had my base painted in the same color as the windows and front door to prevent too many colors from clashing. Your front door is also anthracite, and I assume your garage door will later be anthracite as well.

I think Brillux 09.06.12. You can also check Steffi’s profile, she once posted a picture from her configurator somewhere.

Here is another update. The scaffolding is gone, and in the meantime the paint job is also finished. The photo still shows an intermediate stage; I will have to take another picture later. The base has received a different color again. Soon the exterior work will begin. Access path, a small flower bed, a bit of filling in front of the house. Pictures will follow when finished. And splash protection / terrace / a small strip around the house will be paved so that you can walk along easily. Otherwise, we will skip or postpone expensive installations for now until we have more money. And simply plant where it is liked. We had done something similar in the North before and we quite liked it.

haven't read anything from you in ages... just had to think of you and your slope situation after the landscaper spread the topsoil on the shaped terrain here. Do you already have a solution for how you're handling the transition from the terrace to the slope?

I wanted to plant our slope with lower plants because we look up at the slope from below and the part of the property behind it transitions into meadows. But now I do have some concerns when I look at the slope from above.

Not quite 100% yet.
I’m waiting to see how the terrain looks once the construction contractor has finished everything outdoors. He’s not the type to discuss everything down to the millimeter, but what he delivers is usually pretty good if you just let him do his thing.
The things are currently in progress; terrain modeling will only follow next week. I’m already quite excited because I want to plant.

He himself says he would shape it so that it can be left as is initially, but we will have to stabilize a bit on the left and right side of the house at some point; he recommends planting rings for that.
The huge slope at the lower end of the property changes little as it is laid out now. Our current plan there is to first hammer a stake fence into the ground at the top of the property that might get us through the five toddler years so they don’t fall down there. The plants that have naturally settled there seem to have fundamentally stabilized the terrain already. That’s why we haven’t had any problems so far, despite weeks of continuous rain and flooding last autumn. I would like to plant the slope as well, but then I would only gradually set useful plants there, not cover the whole area at once. I was thinking of something edible, maybe raspberries or other bush fruits.
We also know the border lines a bit better now and have realized that we still have quite a bit of space going downwards. On one side of the house it basically ends right after the slope end, and on the other side we still have a few square meters of meadow at the slope’s end. We don’t yet have a plan for how to use that.



Here’s another work in progress. We can now drive into the garage, hooray!
We’ve already made more progress again; I’ll take some pictures later. You can also see the solution for the light well in the front garden so that light can still come in.
