Single-family house, gable roof 25 degrees, 2.2m knee wall

Bratwurst with pumpkin and whipped cream, I would avoid the style mix

I also like chips with chocolate.

Seriously, I don’t think it’s that bad if you look at it sometimes in pictures/show homes. Here is an example, even though the building structure has been given an extension on both sides.

Here is an example,

... however without visible rafters and purlin heads - this makes it much more compatible with the current taste.

About the quarter-turned staircase again... Take another look at it. Have you ever been in houses where the staircase starts right at the front door like that? Spacious is something else. On one side, your front door almost brushes against the first step. On the right, it doesn’t even seem like a piece of wall is left. Can you even open the door at a 90-degree angle? A video intercom system is almost a must there. Because if you only want to open a crack, you have to step onto the second step of your staircase. Then, but everyone sees that differently, everyone going upstairs walks through this "dirt square meter." I wouldn’t like that. You could change the direction of travel, then the basement stairs would be next to the door and the start to the attic a bit more centered. That would, of course, result in a different layout on the upper floor, but maybe it could also be an opportunity? In any case, I wouldn’t put the staircase so close to the front door. The exterior appearance has to please you. I’m also not so much into "stylistic mixes," so I would be careful not to end up like the hare skating on the sandbank.

We painted the fireplace when we switched to underfloor heating because then we have radiant heat.

An ordinary radiator has radiant heat – underfloor heating does not have radiant heat.

Are you sure? I thought that the radiators you mentioned mostly heat by means of convection heat and surface heating systems, such as underfloor heating, by means of radiant heat.

Sure? I thought that the radiators you mentioned mostly heat by convection and surface heating systems like underfloor heating by radiant heat.

According to the definition, you may be right. The word promises more than it can deliver. I am referring to your statement about the fireplace and the misconception that one feels "radiant heat". That is not the case. I do feel warm "radiation" from the sun, yes. And also from a radiator, yes. But not from underfloor heating. There is no way to briefly and intensively warm up at a heat source indoors after being out in the frost. A radiator can do that. For this reason, some have a fireplace... I do, by the way. Those who do not have one and for whom underfloor heating is new miss this radiant heat that comes from a radiator.
