Opinions, suggestions, and improvement proposals for planning

I really like the floor plan - it's nice to see a change from the usual clear standard floor plans for typical new housing developments.

I especially like the glass element directly opposite the front door - you enter but still keep the connection to the outside.

A roof terrace on a large plot is also nice - a view "from above" of the world is always something different.

Thanks - despite all the criticism - I'm also glad that something good is found.

The glass element is actually intended to make the entire entrance area additionally bright and friendly.

We are currently living on the 6th/7th floor - so with the roof terraces we wanted to at least keep a bit of "fresh air from above." Also, we like to spend time up there and enjoy the evening sun etc.

I don't think the idea of the piano in the gym is very good - because then you basically only hear the music from offstage!

Why? You can open the room to the living room after all :)

Yes, it would be possible - but the office/reading room in the attic is basically set. Nothing else is going there.

If I understand you correctly, everything is set!

No - that's not what I meant - but of course you can still make changes at many points and I am also happy about suggestions and ideas. But just as I take up suggestions and incorporate them into the planning, I can also reject suggestions. Right?

You generally seem quite resistant to suggestions for improvement. Well. The entrance area will please the postman, as long as no plant or armchair blocks the view. A visitor who is then immediately led around the corner into a dark storage room and through the kitchen to the dining area will be less pleased. And if they need to use the toilet, they have to walk back the whole way.

Back when I still lived in a terraced house, everyone who came in would say, "Oh, this is spacious; you wouldn’t have expected that from the outside." With you, it will be the opposite: "Oh, so cramped, although it looks so big from the outside — what a pity."

And one more word about the roof terrace: it will eventually lead a pointless existence. Because at some point, you will be tired of carrying your drinks two floors up and then back down again, when you have a nice terrace right in front of the kitchen. I don’t know anyone who uses their balcony, no matter how beautiful and large, to drink a glass of red wine.

But okay. If you can’t/won’t get any more out of these square meters — please — you have to live in it. We’ve already given you enough advice, and pretty much everyone has said the same thing. We can’t help you any more.

And you seem quite offended when suggestions are not immediately accepted with complete delight. Of course, we discuss the improvement and change suggestions made here and some of them are incorporated into the planning – but the freedom to decide which suggestion we accept here should remain completely emotionless and left to us.

Well. The entrance area will please the mail carrier as long as no plant or armchair blocks the view. A visitor who is then immediately led around the corner into a dark storage room and through the kitchen to the dining area will be less pleased.

For one, the entrance area is quite spacious at over 9 sqm (this only refers to the area directly between the door and the glass wall) and the masonry walls to the left (above) in front of the stairs have already been removed, for example, to achieve a passage width of 1.5 m here. Light then comes from "behind" through the glass wall and at the front by the door. What exactly should the mail carrier see? That I can get to the door?

And if he needs to use the toilet, the whole way back again backwards.

We have already picked up this suggestion and are planning a toilet by the fitness room – the architect has to come up with something.

Well – we do – and even if not, it wouldn’t be a "deterioration" to still build a roof terrace – would it?

But okay. If you can’t/won’t get more out of these sqm – fine – you have to live in it. We have already given you enough tips and pretty much everyone has said the same. We can’t help you any more.

See above!
