New single-family house in southern Germany

Congratulations on the floor plans, if you have the dream house with Town & Country or Weberhaus without many changes then do it like thousands before and after you. If you now want to realize adjustments and special requests, the general contractor would be your man. The fittings with the general contractor are often better because they use local craftsmen and are not squeezed to the bone.

So accommodating a child in about 12 sqm, I consider - let’s call it - daring. Please don’t forget: a child grows :)

Are you referring to the design for the local GU? If the balcony is removed, it will become a room with almost 20 sqm. That should definitely be enough ;)

... sounds nice. Then she doesn’t need a hairdryer either?

The only hairdryer in the household is mine, I also have the longer hair \m/
But I also rarely use it.


The Weberhaus floor plan is certainly not the absolute dream. The study is a bit cramped, the kitchen with its corners and the door right in the middle may not look bad but could cause complications during kitchen construction. The hallway also feels a bit tube-like, and installing a shower on the ground floor is possible, but the floor plan actually isn’t designed for that. One consideration was to take the Balance 200 instead of the 100, which is a bit less square but otherwise quite similar. However, the kitchen would then be quite in the middle of the room, which we don’t like that much.
With Town & Country, the floor plan is better and I think we could live well in it; the question is more about Town & Country itself. The forum is not entirely innocent of my skepticism, but also in the building description there are quite a few things I don’t like, e.g. many “Product X or equivalent at the contractor’s choice.” The big question is whether the construction company has the same idea of “equivalent” as I do. I have not forgotten the cracks in the show house in Geisingen either. And in the end, there are still some tasks on the construction side that I want nothing to do with, like painting the roof overhang. I still have to make a list of how many jobs and costs actually come additionally and how much that ultimately affects the price.

Crazy, in the time it takes me to write my floor plan post, you’re already 1.5 pages off-topic again...

Yes, because you take so long (I remember several days). And this is not the appropriate subforum for floor plans anyway...

She finds typical women’s things stupid and doesn’t put on makeup, wears no jewelry, and doesn’t do peels either

Well great! Here is a point again where I check out, because answers are being made ridiculous by the asker, while one actually still wanted to help with their answers. Make sure you don’t accidentally forget to plan typical women’s things like a washing machine hookup or stove.

Definitely, I don’t have more than that either.

I had announced that I would post it in a few days and I did. The fact that you don’t just jot something down about the individual floor plans in 2 minutes but actually think it through again while writing means it takes a bit longer. In the meantime, 1.5 pages about "substitute villas" and the like were already discussed again, which now have little to do with our building.
I would post in the floor plan forum once we have chosen the company, realistically only if we are building with the local general contractor. I don’t think Town & Country or Weberhaus allow major changes.

Great!

Make sure you don’t forget typical women’s things like washing machine hookups or cooktop by accident when planning.

That was not meant to be offensive nor to ridicule anything. But peels belong more to typical women’s things than men’s, and since that doesn’t happen, there is no need for a tub for that either. The other points are definitely valid. But if I respond to all points, we’d discuss for another 15 pages why I should install a bathtub. For now, it’s just not that high on our priority list.

The bay window in the basement will hopefully continue in the floor above, right??

Yes, it does. It's called the living room up there. And since it's a semi-detached house, we actually have two of them, one on the right and one on the left.
And no matter what you think about them, we won't be tearing them down. We actually like those things.
