Multi-generational house with underground garage for 3 families

then I'll calculate out loud: 600*4000, additionally there is the underground parking, outdoor facilities, existing buildings, surely also interior design and so on... where do we stand then? 4 million project volume? My poverty disgusts me.

Help me out ... I don't quite understand your 2nd sentence. Maybe it's because I was a bit "sunk" yesterday

I meant exactly the actual construction costs mentioned. The price goes up a bit with every floor plan adjustment, through the approval, up to the actual construction - without having initially calculated naively.

: But this was not specifically related to your construction project, rather my assessment that I enjoyed it even more during the planning than after the umpteenth notary or installment payment

then I’ll calculate aloud: 600*4000

You only calculate aloud with the royal Bavarian prices of the state capital if you want to scare country bumpkins. On the other hand, the concrete gold over there is also valuable.

before it is so final that you are no longer open to further suggestions

I took the liberty to encourage the original poster via private message that the architectural firm works professionally enough; and that it is also undesirable to shred the planning here with shifting dressing room doors. There was a point in the discussion where the concept had gained the right momentum – largely thanks to contributions from you and, if I recall correctly, also from . After that, discussing here whether the juicer is too far from the toaster seemed and still seems unnecessary to me.

Then I don't need any status updates either.

Just a question for the group. What is your opinion on windows / balcony doors without lintels? Attached is a photo.

What is your opinion on windows / balcony doors without a lintel.

A lintel "shades" the reflections of light that hit the ceiling through the windows and are then reflected again, contributing to brightness being "scattered from all sides" around the occupant. "Without a lintel" therefore means a noticeable increase in brightness – whether this shifts the perceived sunset by about fifteen minutes is something that may be perceived differently. However, it also simultaneously means a bit more grazing light on the ceiling surface, which slightly emphasizes the unevenness of its plaster texture.

Technically, with ETICS wall constructions combined with external venetian blinds, it is easy to ensure that the shading box visually hardly "stands out" in front of the floor slab. Where roller shutters are occasionally desired, I would probably choose ones with rounded boxes. But from my impression of your architects, they will already have something in mind that even meets with my approval. And they probably are not doing this for the first time, so I assume completed reference projects exist.
