Thank you for your answer.

The opinions seem relatively clear.

Is there anyone here who has a gallery above the living/dining area and the children's rooms on the upper floor, who does not regret it or would do it the same way again?

Hi,
we will build without a gallery, although we hadn't even planned the point with the children yet.
But we did consider the point briefly mentioned by .

Maybe then you won’t just heat the living room, but up to the roof (warm air rises first).
As a penny pincher, this naturally hits my stomach - no matter how stylish it may be.
If the sleeping areas are also located upstairs, you sleep in the warmest part of the open space. We like to sleep in a cool room.
Last point additionally: If the gallery is above the dining area, you need good air exchange (extraction hood). Otherwise, the smells will rise.
Exaggeratedly put, then you have the warmest part of the open space in the sleeping area upstairs with the pleasure of still knowing exactly what was eaten hours later.
OK - as you can see, for the reasons mentioned, I’m not a fan of galleries - maybe it’s also prejudice based on my remaining "basic physics knowledge". I am more practically minded and don’t rely so much on stylish appearance.

For me, it is rather the other way around. Style is very important to me, but of course not at any cost or if numerous disadvantages such as heating, noise, and odor nuisance have to be accepted, although some of these issues can certainly be well solved.

Thank you and regards

I just realized that you were the potential lottery player. Sure - with the houses you have in mind (they are also very stylish), a gallery looks good. Especially when, due to the plot location and the large glass front, you have a good view. But I think we are somewhat different types of people. It would be terrible if everyone thought the same - just imagine, everyone building a house with large glass fronts.

Actually, I don’t want to become a (regular) lottery player. But now I have to take a look.

The point about heating was also one for us, although not only in a negative sense. We will - when there is money again - have a fireplace built between the living and dining areas and thus under the gallery. It has the advantage in this case that the heat also rises upwards and it doesn’t get scorching hot below right away. At least that is my hope.
