Respect for the effort; the costs will probably be accordingly, but it looks good.

So... now I'm looking at it for the umpteenth time, and I'm missing the effect of tiles, namely the overall image with grout lines.
The pattern of the grout lines is precisely what makes tiles interesting. That’s why there are large, small, narrow, round, hexagonal, etc. ones.

Here I see more linoleum... sure, the feel would be different, but from an optical point of view, it is a material that works with few (invisible) joints, and that is just linoleum.

Yes, so that we have as few joints as possible. And I think it looks cool too.

Especially in the shower it makes sense, where there are no joints, no disgusting dirt can settle over the years. On the floor in the living area, I of course agree with you, there a joint pattern is an important factor!

The largest tile was 320cm x 160cm.

Do I understand correctly: the mega formats are available as "standard sizes", i.e. they do not have to be custom-made individually?

I felt the same way: I thought, where are the tiles here, and why do the drywall panels have edge strips

Especially in the shower it makes sense where there are no joints,

I could get used to that: in the shower—where being splashed is basically part of the tile's daily business—seamless, and in other areas optically oriented "classically" with joints.

I find seamless tiles difficult. Reminds me of the plastic shower cabins I saw in Alaska, Canada, Iceland, UK

It should be standard. Our tiler attended a training by the manufacturer in 2017

The interior plaster is finished, just installed the exhaust duct for the kitchen island, tomorrow the screed will be poured.


At the same time, all the L-blocks and walls are being built ...

Hi ,

because I just saw your exhaust duct, I haven’t looked into it in detail yet. You have exhaust via downdraft ventilation and the exhaust duct goes into the screed? Is that complicated?
We briefly discussed the topic with our architect and he said we would then have to run the duct above the basement ceiling.
And a side question... do you have a controlled residential ventilation system?

New milestone reached last week.
Rough installation of plumbing, ventilation, and electrical work is complete, the staircase is installed, the front masonry is nearing completion, and the exterior base plaster is done.

Next up are the drywall installations for the exposed ceilings upstairs, interior and exterior plastering, electrical installation of the control cabinets, and laying of the underfloor heating including commissioning.
The fast screed is scheduled for 15.04., so that tiling and painting work can begin immediately afterward. I am very curious how the timeline will look by the end of March.

I have also completed my first personal contribution by painting the heating room before the rough installation takes place.
