House and floor plan planning - First architect's plan is available

Unfortunately, I have problems quoting when an emoji is in the way, like this [ATTACH alt="haus-und-grundrissplanung-erster-architektenplan-liegt-vor-569569-1.jpeg"]71009[/ATTACH] You should ask in time and not when it is too late. In time means when you see it and also know it. Take photos and upload them. Now it might still be possible to install other windows…

I will be at the construction site next weekend, then I will take detailed photos.

For the conversion to flat thresholds, I would choose one or two of the floor-to-ceiling windows (but don’t postpone that, reorder now). I am always amazed at which details you don’t ask about in time.

I agree with you. And I’m happy about suggestions for solutions. Some things I have to see first because I lack the imagination. Also, I relied a bit on my husband and the sample coordinator. I have constantly talked about wanting to be able to go out into the garden from every door on the ground floor and maybe make a surrounding terrace. Maybe I should talk more. ;-)

Can't you just set the terrace a bit higher so that it reaches the height of the window exits?

I am probably two to three times as old as you (but not as old as a turtle yet ;-) ) and thus had very, no, very, very much time to practice. ;-) Nevertheless, I appreciate your words, even if I find them hard to accept.

Not quite, I have already been able to credit two-thirds of your lifetime to my lifetime account. There is not much to practice; you either are like you are, or you're not, I would say.

I find that a pity, your project interests me and surely many others here too.

I dare to doubt that, but still I will certainly ask about some things here over time and thus reveal more and more of it.
One should just not stumble over my sometimes changing usernames ;).

Then you have made absolutely the right decision and I am happy for you. You might perhaps dare a very small excerpt, just as an experiment. Something with which no one could ever make you sad. For example, how or where you will store your trash bins. ;-)

There certainly is something to find, because a few unimportant but necessary things for us unfortunately also have to be decided :-)

Thank you again and I am happy.

Very, very gladly...

All the best to you too, as well as for your project. I always enjoy reading from you.

Thanks! Glad to hear it...

Can’t you just raise the terrace a bit so that it matches the height of the window sills?

If that’s possible, we will do it. I am considering whether to remove the window sills before the exterior plastering and then find some other solution. As mentioned, I will open another thread with detailed photos about this. If the terrace can be “simply” raised, that would be my favorite option. :)

Good that someone brought the post back up. For such specific questions like the windows, the green one is suitable. Do you want flat thresholds? I wouldn't set the terrace higher than the finished floor inside the house. The execution of the sealing in detail is very important here.

I kept talking about wanting to be able to go from every door on the ground floor into the garden and maybe having a wrap-around terrace.

Maybe you look too young and none of the planners considered that you explicitly want a flat-threshold exit (otherwise they would have asked you which of the patio doors should be the exit). From the wish to quickly hop through there one does not automatically deduce that this should also be threshold-free. With a cake tray or laundry basket I also prefer it threshold-free, otherwise I don’t care about lifting my feet, and from a building-technical point of view (water ingress during heavy rain) the solution with a classic window frame as the normal case is obvious.

Do you want flat thresholds? I wouldn’t set the terrace any higher than the finished floor inside the house.

Ideally it is level, what matters is the "water channel" (Bircorinne) in between. And/or you make a slatted floor on the terrace like in a cowshed ;-)
