Single-family house with large open space - opinions requested

Everything has been said about the interior. Airspace is a matter of taste and comes at the expense of the upper floor rooms. Regarding the views: front without garage is great. Rear view looks like an accident. Flat roof gone. Airspace gone. Replan the upper floor and add a reading, men's, smoking room that allows the great view of the landscape and the roof beam.

Air spaces are generally a matter of taste, we like them.

No, didn’t you read the posts? This is about functionality, especially when children sleep in the house. And it’s about the nature of the air space. But all of that has already been written.

The roof terrace would have a brilliant view, due to the topography we can look down on the village and the fields. Everything lies much lower in that direction than with us. Hence this wish.

Yes, but who has time to look? You take in a view when it fits. You have more than enough to do in the garden after work. You really don’t have time for "just looking."

I couldn’t think of anything better, could you?

Who are you addressing? We all wrote to you to place the garage facing east...

That is such a large property - with appropriate positioning of the house and possibly a second terrace, you can manage to always sit in the sun. Much is possible in the garden. Additional light cannot be brought into the house afterwards.

We also plan with airspace. We currently live with airspace (for 6 years) in an open attic - maisonette. We don’t want to live any other way anymore. The typical reservations: too loud, waste of heat and space, etc. have all already come up in the thread. We all know them, they usually come from people who have never experienced the spatial and living feeling of an open living space upwards for a longer time.

When building, you can either build 0-8-15 because it is simply easy, tested, cheap, and more practical. Or you realize your dreams. From that point of view, you are on a good path with your design. Airspace above the dining area I find nicer, above the sofa it can be cozier and closed.

Also, the north orientation of living rooms is a red flag for many. South orientation in modern energy saving regulation buildings means: after 10 minutes of sunlight: lower blinds/shutters, otherwise sauna. You can wonderfully observe this in all new residential areas: hardly any house where it is not consistently darkened and shaded every day as soon as the sun shines. Then one asks oneself: what is better: free view and diffuse light through large north-facing windows, or south orientation with a great view of shutters and blinds from the inside and accordingly hardly any direct light incidence? The mixture probably makes the difference.

e: too loud, waste of heat and space, etc. have already all been mentioned in the thread. We all know them as well; they usually come from people who have never experienced the spatial and living feeling of a vertically open living space for a longer time.

We ourselves have an open space... and my husband often watches TV longer than I do.
It is actually too loud for me: the sound carries upwards, as if I myself am watching/hearing TV upstairs.
No offense to your kind words to the OP, but even if you have built something like this yourself, not just a standard 0-8-15, you have to admit what drawbacks lie behind it.

South-facing orientation in modern energy-saving ordinance buildings means: after 10 minutes of sunshine: blinds/shutters down, otherwise it becomes a sauna. You can wonderfully observe this in all new residential areas: hardly a house where it is not consistently darkened and shaded daily as soon as the sun shines. Then one asks: what is better: free view and scattered light

That is exactly why we built all the terrace windows in the open space facing east, south, and west. Small windows in the north. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been a KfW55 house just like that. The shutters do not go down during the day in order to let in the solar heat. We love the sun and accordingly built that way.

But this is not about us, not about your maisonette apartment, not about my house.
It’s about optimizing the OP’s planning. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked here. So why should one sugarcoat everything when so many negative points can be named? That doesn’t help anyone.
I and other critics here don’t have to move in or pay off the loan for some misguided planning.
So then....

I only provide shading in the height of summer, as well as in the houses that are not subject to the energy saving ordinance.

Due to the location, we have a northwest terrace and will treat ourselves to a south dining area in the garden next year. You could still sit outside comfortably the whole time.
