Is this a catalog house or custom designed?
Thank you very much.
The concept is mine; implemented with a local general contractor.
There were two templates for orientation, which we modified to suit our needs (especially for the corner plot):
** Baurmann Dürr - Residential House Kirchfeld, Karlsruhe
** Bub Architects - House Blankenese (especially the outdoor terrace there).
Both originals, however, are basement houses.
What was elaborate for us were the 3 lift-and-slide window doors also on the upper floor, around the corner, with shutters, laminated safety glass glazing, and glass railing.
Conclusion:
The elevated terrace should ideally be built in that form along with the shell construction; at the time, the GC did not want to do it, suggested doing landscaping, etc. But in hindsight, it would have been much more sensible.
Outdoor lighting is from BEGA.
The clinker bricks are from Rusch Klinker, Elbmarsch sorting.
This is still genuine craftsmanship and hard manual work.
There are also pictures somewhere in this thread taken in daylight.
The terrace slabs are made of graywacke, 100 x 50 x 4 cm.
In the front center there is an air space.
The central point is the staircase.
This is what it looks like from the inside:
Ground floor:
Upper floor (with internal window to the laundry utility room):
This is how it looked in late summer 2017:
