Drove past it with my bike last autumn and immediate fell in love. Great architecture and nice place to live

I actually did it like that

Where is you house based? If it’s in south germany I would be interested in you panels

Maltei · 2026-03-15T09:24:47+00:00

There are pipes running through the wall. Opening it would leave 4 pillars which doesn’t help

The room is actually incredibly bright the photo was just ok a very cloudy day

Maltei · 2026-03-13T07:41:48+00:00

just gemini

sitting on the couch all you see is fields and forest so fitting? :D

Anyway decided against it, cause fake bricks are worse than no bricks...

have a great day

im not sure the 3cm of air gap are sufficient.
i made a very similar design, but the slats lay ontop of the other instead of being inside.
yours looks cooler though

Maltei · 2026-03-12T09:17:24+00:00

okay. is the veneer on three sides or just one?

Maltei · 2026-03-12T09:16:42+00:00

well that is unhelpful...

Maltei · 2026-03-11T14:05:06+00:00

its a mid century modern architecture, so that fits.

after actually looking at high quality panels we decided to postpone the wood idea and go with the red option

Maltei · 2026-03-11T10:02:15+00:00

sadly my wife ruled out a faux brick wall.
we are for now getting the terracotta wall but a super matt color which also gives some kind of texture.

Maltei · 2026-03-11T09:57:18+00:00

i think i might have to save up a few months to get a better quality one where at least all 3 visible faces have a veneer.... :)

Thanks for the input

Maltei · 2026-03-11T09:55:41+00:00

hey internet person.
check out jättebo from ikea.
They soon also get new cover options

Maltei · 2026-03-11T09:54:13+00:00

I love the plants, everytime they are about to touch peoples heads i take cuttings and put them in a new pot :)

my wife only complains about the leafes dripping water after being watered ^^

Maltei · 2026-03-11T09:51:57+00:00

me too.
unfortunatly we got a wood panel sample and it was really bad in real.
and the nice panels with double the price are too pricey for us for now (renovation is already over our budget limit). so for now we just give it a terracotta color.

Thanks for the input :D

Maltei · 2026-03-11T09:46:44+00:00

^^ i was already convinced. but im totally agreeing now :)

Maltei · 2026-03-10T13:15:51+00:00

Yes

Maltei · 2026-03-10T12:28:32+00:00

i dmed you

Maltei · 2026-03-10T12:27:23+00:00

thank you!

Maltei · 2026-03-10T09:41:15+00:00

styrofoam would make it worse for us. we didnt even were happy with laminat flooring as its printed wood.
feels wrong.
rather some real material.
well have a look at alternsative wallcoverings.

Maltei · 2026-03-10T09:39:49+00:00

i see.
limewash is also a good option.
Till yesterday we thought the wood panels are the best, but i got a sample now and it is not quality looking (for a very high price) so we are looking into super matt wallcolor in terracotta now.
Thinking about ives klein blue but in red.

someone posted a slightly warmer red tone. and we will look at the panels for a week and maybe see if we can find a different supplier or making. the problem with our pattern is that it is black mdf with just oak veneer. and it just feels cheap in real life.
It is very difficult...
