is your floor plan available to view somewhere in the forum?

is simply a mirror image of the ground floor due to the corner windows, as an architectural element.

Absolutely correct. You can see it even better above in #4744 – and in the first design mentioned in #4748 (there is also a floor plan hidden at the end of the preview images there; it is different but similar).

No, the floor plan remains private here. The dimensions are 13.99 x 9.24 m and about 8.70 m height with 30° pitch. Ground floor + upper floor approx. 185 m2, + 35 m2 usable space under the roof, so around 220 m2. Two-car garage 6.2 x 9 with green flat roof. Orientation north-south. Costs only house without land, but with two-car garage and green roof, complete finished and all in and with 30 cm ground elevation and ground floor raised to 2.75 m ceiling height: Starting upfront still with mid 5 figures. The plot is small and was quite cheap (90,-/m2). Landscaping then tore a hole: materials for garden, driveway, elaborate terrace etc.: around 60k + labor/much DIY. It is unfortunately hardly any standard due to the concept.

Room sequence, in the UZS, starting in the north:
** Ground floor: Hallway, utility room 1/technical, living room 1 (TV) with wall panel to living room 2 (sofa), thus connected across the width of the house in the south, dining area (under air space) + stairs, kitchen, guest WC.
** Upper floor: Bedroom, utility room 2/laundry, children’s WC, child’s room (open up to ridge and across full house width), air space, gallery bridge with stairs in the middle, bathroom (at the corner front left, open up to half the ridge height), dressing room, bedroom (again open up to ridge).
** Attic: Small storage loft, office, guest room (via dressing room in the north). Since it is quite shallow due to height restriction in the site plan of 9 m, it is no living space upstairs, but you can stand up and it is sufficient for secondary use.

Here it is about pictures:
Concrete for strip foundation of the terrace wall.

Cool

Exactly like this it will be

Thank you very much.
Concept is mine; implemented with local general contractor.

There were two templates as orientation, which we modified to our needs (especially also for the corner plot):
** Baurmann Dürr - Residential house Kirchfeld, Karlsruhe
** Bub Architects - House Blankenese (especially the outside terrace there).

Both originals, however, are basement houses.

What was elaborate for us were the 3 lift-and-slide door windows also on the upper floor, around the corner, with blinds, laminated safety glass, and glass railing.

Conclusion:
A raised terrace should be made in this form already with the shell construction; the general contractor didn’t want to at the time, said do gardening etc. But in hindsight that would have been much more sensible.

Exterior lighting is from BEGA.
Brick is from Rusch brick, Elbmarsch sorting.
That is still true craftmanship and hard work.
Somewhere in this thread there are also pictures in daylight.
Terrace slabs are made of graywacke, 100 x 50 x 4.

In the middle front there is an air space.
Central point is the staircase.
This is what it looks like from inside:
Ground floor:


Upper floor (with inside window to the laundry utility room):


This is what it looked like in late summer 2017:

Why did you decide on BEGA exterior lamps?

I am also just about to buy, just wondering what justifies the price!?

Why choose [BEGA] outdoor lamps?

regarding the pictures in #4744:

For BEGA as a manufacturer, the reasons were - for me:
- high quality (with admittedly a steep price, but overall worth it to me (especially online somewhat cheaper than the MSRP; here I specifically paid around 275,-/piece)
- well thought-out construction and design. truly "sealed"
- coherent design
- service (20 years spare parts supply, such as LED modules, but also rubber gaskets). So you don't have to change lamps and drilling after a few years in case of defects.
- mounting instructions available online in advance (so you know where to drill (joints!))
- Made in Germany - we already have enough "Made in China"; of course, there are cheaper lamps for a tenth of the price.
- good stainless steel screws included (which do not justify the extra cost)
- lamps partly available in different light intensities

For the specific model (Bega 33 242 K3), the reasons were - for me:
- design (this model is only available from B.)
- high light output, with 21 W / 2350 lumens. This was necessary here also due to the small number of lamps (3) because of the large windows for sufficient illumination. The model is also available with lower power (11 W), which then only provides accent lighting.
- mounting with only 2 drill holes at cable height possible - i.e., in the brick joint, which is rather reversible and does not damage the brick.
- pleasantly glare-free
- quality: this thing weighs 2 kilos and is really solid, simply a different league.
- very good illumination with directed light distribution (downwards), from the side at about a 45° angle.
- and above all: I had seen this model live beforehand on a municipal building here - and I was sold. Sure, a price of 775,- for three lamps is a statement, which also made me swallow hard at first. But with a low quantity it was somehow still okay, and I will later also retrofit the entrance light (different model) to this model (currently it dazzles me too much there in an unguided way).

The model, however, creates a grazing light as a downlight, which really emphasizes every irregularity of the facade. So be careful with plaster facades.

Work on the construction site continues tirelessly.

In modest weather, the windows were installed yesterday and the exterior insulation was started simultaneously.



Today the roofer is sealing the base plate with bitumen.

May I quickly ask what wall construction this is? 24 cm brick + 12 cm ETICS? Sorry if I missed it somewhere else!
