Everything has already been done, yes! My construction blog should be enough, I have already mentioned it to you regarding the open roof design. Otherwise, there won’t be any more photos here, I have to disappoint you there. They now look “completely normal” too [emoji4] The overall package also applies, and that is simply a different house style for us.

Regardless of the chimney? I would suggest an inviting window element. How it is divided into fixed glazing/door is a matter of taste.

Simply enlarging (widening) it directly creates a more modern look for the boring east/west view. I would not divide the small middle windows in the center.

I personally do not like the look on the side with the large front door at all.
That is such an old-fashioned design.
Since I do not know the rooms behind it, it is difficult to sketch alternatives.
And since the facade apparently will be brick, it is also hard to say, just put a nice rhombus cladding on top. That would enhance the whole thing (if you don’t want windows on top anyway). But with brick?

Here is an idea for the west view.

P.S. I would give up perfect symmetry to achieve a more modern look. Otherwise, it will be that said Bundeswehr officers’ casino

1.
There have already been plenty in the floor plan thread...
Without any visible feedback.

I would arrange the ensemble in a star shape, mainly to break up this - in my opinion - yawningly boring and unbearable 26 m (!) house facade. Conceptually something like this, but probably too innovative:

Source + recommended search:
Schöner Wohnen - family bungalow with airy floor plan

As I said, the tip is not new...
The original is also not a multi-family house, but a garage as wing 3 would be suitable for transfer according to your own taste.

2.
P.S.: We also have a room on the south side upstairs open to the ridge, with 30° roof pitch. Also without gable glazing (there is plenty of light with 3 x 3 m floor-to-ceiling lift-and-slide door) from three window sides and well illuminated at night inside (only) with wall spotlights (MAWA Design Oval Office 4).

Have you ever thought about the revision of the settlement cracks in the open gable area where the wall meets the roof slope with gypsum board cladding at over 5 m height? - with us the first cracks appeared after about 2-3 weeks... (which apparently seems normal). The general contractor kindly refers to maintenance joints...
Anyway, sooner or later an optical problem lurks there, which can certainly be solved technically. But it is not standard.

The floor plan is great!
I would just throw away the boring floor plan from page 1 directly and not invest any more time in it.

We ourselves have an open roof structure and deliberately refrained from Fermacell for the reasons mentioned.
We chose ecological tongue-and-groove boards made of local spruce (2cm thick) with a whitewashed beeswax finish. (the color can be applied ready-made by the manufacturer - in a color of your choice)

Advantages:
ecological
timeless
great appearance due to the slightly visible wood surface
up to almost 80cm rafter spacing an understructure could also be omitted, as the boards are approved up to this width.
comes from my region (Memmingen/Mindelheim...)

Now, after almost 8 years, the ceiling still looks like new.

The screwing system is patented (you do not need the otherwise usual clamps). Screw holes are pre-drilled in the wood tongue. So you only need screws.

We had to open the ceiling again at one point. That was possible without problems. And later just screw it back on - done.

Just try googling Fendt fix uno breit. It is also available in the specialist timber trade.
You can also get samples from the manufacturer on request. I couldn’t imagine these boards either until I saw one live.

Just an idea.

Always this floor plan issue [emoji4]

The floor plan remains, it has been there for a long time. And I like the 23-meter-long front. [emoji4]

Then don't ask any further. The facade appearance stands or falls with the floor plan.
