We have our own heating circuit with a thermostat both in the upstairs and downstairs hallway, and the pipes lie close together everywhere. With tiles, you immediately feel the warmth from the underfloor heating, and the large area at your place then remains ice-cold, which is not pleasant barefoot.

But that doesn't have to apply to . And who says the hallway will be tiled. The tiles in the hallway on the upper floor don't get ice cold either, but have at least room temperature since it's interior. A separate heating circuit for the depicted interior hallway would also be a bit too much. The supply lines running through to the rooms alone will provide more than enough heat and the valves would almost always be closed. At most, you could distribute the lines more evenly, then you also wouldn’t have temperature differences. I also find the firing slit at hip height interesting.

Probably never shot from the hip before, huh???

In our first building, there was also such a shooting slit at hip height. That was the window of my study and the desk stood there. I always loved that...

Nobody says the hallway will be tiled, that’s why I also wrote that you can tell with tiles whether there is a heating pipe underneath or not. Ice cold is of course not to be taken literally, but room temperature already feels cold to me on a tiled floor, while underfloor heating feels noticeably warm, quite a big difference.

What catches my eye more is the uneven window arrangement (normal and loophole, practically in the same corner) in picture 2. Where the heating loops apparently "are missing" in the hallway, you would stumble over a sleeping cat anyway. A cold wind won't gather over it.

Oh God, I hadn't even thought about the cats with that. Although, they're always lying in the way anyway.
