Great to see the progress - nice house! In the photos it looks like the exterior walls are only plastered up to the metal profiles of the suspended ceiling. Is that really the case? I'm asking with regard to the airtightness of the exterior walls. Is there a reason why a mixture of wood and metal substructure was used for the drywall in the attic?

Honestly, I can't answer that "technically" for you. What I can say is that the unplastered interior exterior walls are about 15cm thick. The ceiling between the ground floor and the upper floor is a cast-in-place concrete slab resting on the exterior walls. Our architect has always done it this way. I trust her on that. As for the upper floor/attic, the wooden structure belongs to the roof frame. The roof is insulated between and above the rafters. The metal is only for the suspended ceiling.

The color is definitely polarizing, but I encourage everyone to "dare to use color" and move away from "white/anthracite." It's worth it. We are so happy that we decided on colors that we initially really thought were "modest."
We love it.

Great – we want to go in a similar direction. Facade in earth/clay tones and then accents in orange and green.

Anyone can do white

Great - it should go in a similar direction with us. Facade in earth/mud tone and then accentuate with orange and green. White is for everyone

That really is “courage to use color.” Great!

that is pretty much exactly the color I have set as the background on my screen. I like it - and I know people who find it "ihhgitt" (I wouldn't let that put me off).

What surprises me a bit, since I've been hanging around here in the house building forum, is that at the moment everything is always built so smoothly and angularly. ... Not that I fundamentally reject that - it also has its strengths and can create a pleasant calmness if the proportions are well chosen - but in principle, I find "alive" much more attractive. My designs (most of which are not realized because: I simply can't build that much) are always curved, with rounded edges, dynamic surfaces and colors (so I also appreciate colors much more when they shift (is that how you write it?) ...

the excavators are rolling in:

Nice horse manure in front of the hut
