Thanks for the replies regarding the concrete house.
My father and his second wife just built that, haven’t seen it yet.
I call it the boomer bunker. Apart from the fact that I think concrete is somewhat over I really don’t like it. Floorplan way to complicated and inflexible, loads of design decisions that are unecessary and make it really expensive to build.
Plus dark ceiling and floors.
Also it sits on a plot with a view of a pig farmer. My sister said the amount of flies was incredible.
They had a very nice house in more or less the same location. Also concrete, situated in a bigger development with direct access to nice walks and a bus to the city centre every 10 minutes. Now they are still in a suburb/village but the nice walks start farther away and the bus only runs twice per hour. Which my teenage half siblings will surely appreciate.
But I guess if you have to prove something building a house is the done thing.
