Location of city villa or single-family house on 500 m2 plot - rectangular

Do you mean in grandma's basement kitchen or where? New houses should be bone dry, otherwise you did something wrong. Or what else besides mold are you worried about?

I think I read that here as well. But good if that's not true, then you're freer there.

By the way, I would replace the door with a double sliding door. But that's probably too expensive again.

A double wing door has been requested. I'm considering a sliding door or would have to take a look. What I've seen so far, I didn't like. Theoretically, you could even do without a door since the entrance is offset anyway.

Kitchen planning is a separate forum. Best to register as soon as the house plan is ready.

Ok, I'll look it up. But this is also about the living area... I still find it super interesting and relevant.

Stairs on the ground floor: don't you trip over the first step when coming from the entrance? The passage seems narrow to me.

already pointed that out. Maybe request a rotation if that doesn't cause tripping on the other side or block the doors upstairs.
However, I already asked to remove the stub noses there. The architect doesn't know yet if they are structurally necessary. He would remove them first. That relaxes things a bit...

Theoretically, you could even not have a door at all, since the entrance is offset anyway.

With 3 kids? Mmh. I often close the door when my darling turns up the music and I'm reading upstairs. Since we got the new (very modest) Teufel system, even more often.

I hope modest refers to the size/price range and not your perception of quality? Your objection is certainly valid, although all the other rooms still have doors...

A bigger door to the living area would be really great. If there isn't enough room for a sliding door, maybe a double door would do?

Veto. That would be a huge contrast to the path leading up to it.

Harman is not what it used to be anymore, and Dieter Burmester is even dead. What can you still expect in the high-end sector?

Yes exactly, we only spent 800 euros on a compact system. We are very satisfied. Great speakers.

But in the new post, because you reply so quickly:

So, here are the additional costs:
double-wing door in the living room €580.00
room height increase on the ground floor shell from 2.75 m to 3.00 m €3,800.00
windows cannot be higher than 2.25 m at all. the large stairwell window is rather not wanted by the general contractor either, but apparently still waiting for an offer.

So it suggests going back to 2.75 m, which would make the living room height finished at 2.55 m and the windows sufficiently high at 2.25 m.
And possibly the stair entry would not be so bad anymore because one step could be saved?
