Terrace planning for a corner terraced house with a large garden - What to consider?

Ask him how he would solve this, what his recommendation is: a) best technical solution and impact on material consumption b) best optical solution and consequences on the technical side and material consumption c) cheapest solution and consequence on the technical side

And with that, you can come back here again to see whether he is talking nonsense or not.

The risk that he simply adopts your ideas but nothing comes of it (either because it is not good or he can’t do it) is too high.

Had 3 craftsmen here, all said everything is possible, it's a matter of taste. Most of the time the simplest version that is easiest for them to lay is recommended, not the more stylish one.

Mine is anthracite. Yours doesn’t have any anthracite at all. I already said that yours is too light and what consequences that has. If you ask how I wrote it like that, there will be a different answer, I’m sure.

Funny. We have light tiles inside and a light staircase and regret that a little. In the bathroom, we have the aforementioned tile (so Anthracite) only the version for indoors (same pattern, just thinner, but it is no longer available) and you can't see anything there. But maybe we just have different dust than you.

Hello everyone,

today an excavator was here, it removed the soil where the terrace will be. A bit more generously, tomorrow we have to submit the plan of how big exactly the terrace should be. I will take a final look at it tomorrow in the garden, then we will see.

The main terrace will be about 8.5m by 4.20m and on the side I am considering a bit narrower, 2m or 2.40m maximum width. Then you can connect it around the corner.

Anyway, I have 2 questions:

Would you do splash protection on the house facade? On the side there is outside the window once 4 and once 2m of house wall, the installers always recommend different things.

The tile layer wants to create a slope away from the house wall, no drain. I know an architect who said drain and definitely no slope otherwise tables and furniture would wobble. What do you say? The main terrace will be covered, the side will not.

Then we also have to remember, if we want electricity somewhere in the garden, to pull the cable under the terrace. To have electricity at the other corner of the garden.

Is there anything else I should consider, must not forget?

Best regards
