We look forward to your comments. If any details are missing, please just mention them.

I have one basic question: The project planner of the house building company told me that the escape window for the chimney sweep is not shown because it is not relevant for the building application. Is that correct?

Best regards

small utility room and too large bathroom on the upper floor

Move the washing machine & co to the first floor and you will have more space in the utility room.

Is the Frisian house here a two-story building? To me, it looks like one and a half stories, despite the gable.

P.S. The shower on the ground floor can be planned better. Otherwise, it is just a standard floor plan... why is there no window in the south? Is there a plot of land? Location? And is the Frisian house mandatory according to the development plan? I don't like to believe that in combination with a two-story building.

First of all, I would like to thank you for the feedback.

As can also be seen in the drawings, there are not 2 full floors, but rather a ground floor and an attic floor.
It would probably be a one-and-a-half-story house. I just noticed that the terms vary depending on whom you ask.


What idea would you have regarding the shower? There are no windows on the SO side because we prefer to have space for a couch in the living room and a larger shelf in the study/guest room.

You cannot build a 1 1/2-story building where a 2-story building is required!

You place the shower to the outside, here on the exterior wall, so that the utility room can be used as efficiently as possible.
A heater will hardly be installed in the niche because you can no longer reach everywhere needed for necessary maintenance.

Best regards, Yvonne
