The color looks good! Which one exactly is it now? Please also give some details about the plaster. Which one from your selection was chosen? The coarser or the finer one? Thanks! mini

We were given a lot of samples and colors to choose from. I have to check the exact color to see if we can find it out again, because we made the decision on-site together with the plasterer and the architect based on the samples. Unfortunately, he already took the sample back, and we have also returned the color palette. As for the grain size, the sample had a 1.5mm grain size, but the plasterer said a 1mm grain size would look nicer. Since we have had very good advice from him so far, we trusted him and chose the 1mm grain size.

Ok, did you have to set up scaffolding again specifically for the top plaster? No, seriously, I’m not familiar with this type of plaster. It wouldn’t be my choice. Maybe as a highlight for a partial area. What I would be interested in is the execution. When you enlarge the pictures, you can sometimes still see the trowel marks, then it sometimes looks almost smooth, sometimes with more indentations. Sometimes there are “blemishes.” Is that normal or is it due to the execution?

Our architect showed us an object in the city right at the beginning that was executed with such a broom stroke plaster. At first, we didn’t like it at all. Then we kept looking at the classic “smooth plaster” while driving through the city and thought “boring.” So the idea was decisively planted. The smooth one was boring for us, also because of a corresponding sample. The broom stroke would be a risk. We knew it wouldn’t look perfect. I find that hard to imagine just because of the application alone. Now it is so that the “grooves” are not perfectly parallel to each other. We were really unsure whether we had made the right decision. Now, since the scaffolding is gone and the result can only really be seen now, we are totally happy. The color complements the roof, the windows, and the venetian blinds/roller shutters perfectly, and the imperfection makes it all the more interesting for us. If it’s not your thing, then we all did the right thing. Not because we didn’t want others to like it, but simply because we wanted something different. We had to be clear that it wouldn’t be everyone’s thing. We are very happy with the choice.

You didn't have a floor plan thread, right? We want to make the attic very similar. Do you also have pictures or measurements to share?

We actually didn't have one. Mainly because I joined this forum only after the floor plan was already set. Secondarily because I know how ruthless the esteemed members here are xD If there is interest, I am happy to post the floor plans. It's too late anyway Better here or in its own thread?

Better here or in a separate thread?

I would find that great. Presumably, a separate thread would be more appropriate for the floor plan.

Next milestone achieved.
The scaffolding is gone and suddenly it looks like a "house."















Next week the underfloor heating, interior plastering and then the screed in mid-September.

What did you use to seal the floor-to-ceiling windows on the outside? I've never seen it in the color (Hausfarbe ).

What do you mean?

How do you mean?

The seals of the windows I have seen so far were black or gray. Because it looks rather yellowish on yours, I was curious about what was used to seal it here. But maybe my screen is just distorting the color?!
