However, one could check whether it is possible, by moving the walls on the upper floor, to make the chimney flue on the ground floor not external but internal. That should be able to be well concealed with the fireplace. I would prefer that to the strange corner on the terrace.

Best to leave out the fireplace entirely. It only has disadvantages. :P

Okay, the windows are not optimal yet, we are aware of that. What do you mean by "views"?



...just to complete my gap in experience: What are the disadvantages of a stove? Given the many likes on your answer, I am quite curious now.

It's hard for me to put it objectively: I feel that the floor plans are more clearly structured than the views. I would first develop windows from the inside, i.e. from the question "where do I want how much light" backwards to "where does it have to come from in which formats". The answer is usually already vivid enough in itself, and combined with a cube arrangement possibly then overdone.

Well, first of all, a fireplace makes a mess. You get dirt from the ashes, from the wood where maybe animals have nested, and of course you always have to clean the glass pane.
Then the thing is expensive. The purchase itself needs to be paid for, the wood has to be carried in, and the chimney sweep wants their money regularly. Also, it takes up space in the house, which could often be used better and costs money.
In addition, during storms (and we have those regularly now), the chimney makes noise. I have never experienced one that doesn’t howl or hiss in strong winds.
As an environmentally conscious father, you certainly wouldn’t want to burden the air with completely unnecessary CO2, right?! ops:
But the biggest drawback is that in energy-saving regulation houses (which are all new builds), the desire for a cozy cuddle fireplace simply doesn’t arise anymore. It’s already cozy and warm. There are no drafts, no cold bridges, no damp corners, or uninsulated roofs. On the contrary – lighting a fireplace would cause a heat buildup that’s hardly bearable.
Result: the thing stays off 99.9% of the year.
