House Construction 2.0 - First Floor Plan Draft

We have a ceiling height of 2.58m and windows 2.10m high! If it doesn't bother others, for me there is too much wall above.

I find your comment very good. I have basically noticed that people often talk and write about floor-to-ceiling windows/doors, but almost never about ceiling-high windows/doors, which I personally find more attractive. Unfortunately, we couldn't implement that ourselves because our house manufacturer doesn't do that. Other house manufacturers have also declined. If I remember correctly, but other forum members know more about this, more light falls into the room from ceiling-high windows/doors than from floor-to-ceiling ones. By the way, welcome to the forum. Nice that you are here. :-)

We are open to completely different floor plans if someone has something and says -> that's kind of the direction, check out thread XY. Then bring it on.

No plot, no floor plans.

What use is the most beautiful hillside house floor plan if it doesn't fit your plot and the surroundings?

Do you see what I mean?

By the way, welcome to the forum. Nice to have you here. :)

I would like to join in on that.

Is there a soil survey? Are the requirements of the structural engineer for this house priced into the property? At that time, no. How are the earth-contact walls constructed. Kati I have already pointed this out to you several times, this is still on top

Soil survey including dynamic probing & foundation recommendation as well as statics are priced in.

Did you build with a general contractor or through individual contracts? On what grounds should earth-contacting walls come on top? That would not be legally tenable in terms of contract law at all if they offer a complete residential house on this plot (which is specifically named and surveyed by them) according to their construction scope description, and then later say earth-contacting walls are not included in the offer?! The unknown in this equation is the earthworks that arise following the soil survey, and possibly disposal – if the soil cannot be stored on the plot.

I think your comment is very good. I have basically noticed that people often talk and write about floor-to-ceiling windows/doors, but almost never about ceiling-high windows/doors, which I personally find more attractive. Unfortunately, we couldn’t implement that ourselves because our house manufacturer does not do it. Other house manufacturers have also rejected it.

I can’t imagine how that should be feasible either, since the box for the roller shutters is installed above the window. In the case of a bungalow, there's also the ring beam. Ours start a good 40 cm below the ceiling, but higher would not be possible for the reasons mentioned. However, I wouldn’t want it either because I need the space for curtains.
