Single-family house northeast slope 230m2 gable roof

The perspective is naturally distorted, no question. I deliberately created it that way so that you can see that daylight does fall into "the dark hole."

The deal only works if the daylight engages with this perspective.

Sorry, you are exactly wrong about that.

In practically every floor plan you can find things that you might solve differently yourself, which are often simply a matter of taste.

Primarily, it is about functionality. This can be very well discussed here in the forum, since functionality often depends on fixed factors and mistakes can be recognized quite quickly.

So, could you basically imagine living like this? Upstairs?
This also applies to everyone else: Would such a living situation be basically conceivable for you?

And it is definitely not important whether I or whoever else identifies with this here.
If you want to move in, you should identify with it.
Ultimately, functionality and a neat room should be reflected.
......
But I have looked at everything again now and would favor my living rooms including access to the property in the south/west,
I haven’t drawn or planned anything yet, but in my opinion, it should not be difficult to arrange the common idea of spacious living space combined with children’s room and bedroom and au pair and etc. in a stylish and practical way.
One might think that you have some underlying priorities and these steer the designs, which otherwise no one here can understand.

I quote from 2013:

We just looked at the revised plan again, and it works for us.
After us, the flood

Ours works for us as well.

The deal only works if the daylight submits to this perspective

Daylight enters this room regardless of the perspective. Time and weather are the decisive factors.

Yes, I would like to have a lift shaft.

Daylight falls into this room regardless of perspective. Time and weather are the decisive factors.

The reality – although I do not mean the Austrian word for real estate here – is the decisive factor that you can cheat in a 3D program, but not with sun rays.

One might think that you have some underlying priorities guiding the designs, which otherwise no one here can comprehend.

Yes, I would like to have a lift shaft.

Between Berlin and Potsdam, a Transrapid is not worthwhile.

Ours works for us as well.

Functionality should apply to everyone or basically in general. This should also be well described below:

Primarily, it’s about functionality. This can be very well discussed here in the forum since functionality often depends on fixed factors and errors can be detected quite quickly.

Yes, I would like to have a lift shaft.

Yes, nice. But priorities should first and foremost depend on the needs of the family, the daily routine in general, living space, comfortable living environments, and only then technical possibilities to optimize these processes.
If you set your lift as a priority and plan your house around it, very few here will understand it.

Thanks to everyone involved for the inputs!

Actually, I don’t want to file the draft away just yet. At least not now.
So I tried to mitigate the main criticism (too little light in the small apartment) a bit. By moving the staircase, an additional window facing south is now possible. A light well to the west would also be conceivable, but I haven’t drawn that in for now.

I have now looked at everything again and would still prefer to have my living spaces including access to the property on the south/west side

I am aware that such a south-west orientation would be fundamentally advantageous. However, most of the neighboring houses deviate from this orientation and are primarily aligned to the north or northeast. I think that is not without reason.

The reality – and I’m not referring here to the Austrian word for property – is the decisive factor that you can trick things in a 3D program, but not when it comes to sunlight.

The current renderings are without any trickery.

Between Berlin and Potsdam, a Transrapid is not worthwhile.

The comparison does my elevator shaft honor. Only it would probably have a rosier future than the Transrapid.
