Single-family house – new construction project from day one - and the planning begins

During the few hot days, the roller shutter can simply remain down during the day. For aesthetic and financial reasons, I would prefer to do without a venetian blind.

For cost reasons, we are also happy to do without, but especially in living rooms, I would advise you to make this investment. I know there are various opinions on this, but we had it that way for a long time in our old house, and after installing the venetian blinds on the glazed south side, it felt completely different and great, because you can always adjust the amount of light exactly as needed.
Already complained....

The entire ground floor will be equipped with venetian blinds (except the north side).

During the day on the few hot days, the roller shutter can simply stay down. [...] The idea with the clinker slips is simply brilliant. I really like it. Without having talked to my wife, I already know that I will have to do some serious persuasion.

I just didn’t see any venetian blinds there, I didn’t even think of roller shutters because many builders don’t mix those. But that’s enough then. I think of the clinker slips painted over in the tone of the plaster, slurry-coated or similar, and the same is also available in sand-lime brick – so your wife doesn’t have to think of coarse salami with clinker (or the more modern violet-tinged black olives). I would only do that between the kitchen and the office or between the bathroom and the stairwell where the wood is shown in the drawing; I wouldn’t make the color area in the bedroom darker than that of the “bay window,” and at the latter also pull it around the corner (down to the bottom edge of the children’s room / right edge of the dining room window).

We mix them for budget reasons... :/

I mean to say the brick slips painted over in the tone of the plaster, slurried or similar, and there is the same also made of sand-lime brick – so your wife doesn’t have to think of coarse salami (or the more modern purple-tinted black olives) with bricks. I would also only do that between the kitchen and office or between the bathroom and staircase where the wood is shown in the drawing; I wouldn’t make the color area in the bedroom darker than that of the "bay window," and on the latter also continue around the corner (up to the bottom edge of the children’s room / right edge of the dining room window).

These are wonderful approaches for the upcoming planning of the exterior. Thank you

The 1 with asterisk solution is certainly not that, I admit

We currently live in a similarly sized house, only our roof is pitched at 25°. A little room could be made, but without building a dormer there, it will be tight. For us, it’s more intended as a "hobby room for later."

In the same "later" where you move the bedroom downstairs so you don't have to crawl up the stairs every evening, then under the roof, yay, having a hobby room, is called practical dialectics.
