Hello everyone,

After reading quietly for a while and really appreciating all the ideas shared here, I’d like to bring up a topic and hopefully get some feedback, suggestions, and ideas!

I am 34 years old and originally from Munich, where I was born and raised.

Currently, we (my wife and I, with a child on the way, my sister and her partner, as well as my parents) are discussing whether to completely rebuild on our plot of land (currently occupied by a single-family house / 1000 sqm (0.25 acres) / 20 × 50 m (65 × 164 ft) / no zoning plan). The idea is to build a fairly modern house with two spacious living areas (each with its own terrace overlooking the garden, large living and dining areas, etc., and about 200 sqm (2150 sq ft) of living space), including an underground garage and a basement. A granny flat (or accessory dwelling unit) is also planned to be integrated.

I would like to start a discussion based on these ideas and am looking forward to any input or constructive criticism.

Thank you very much.

Today, just in time for the weekend, we received the revised floor plan options. I am truly very impressed with the work of the architect and the team. They have essentially managed to incorporate almost all the wishes from all parties already.

Very exciting!

Best regards

To ensure the topic is not just text, here is a glimpse of how the basement level could look.

What kind of rooms are these? Storage rooms or already living spaces? It is not entirely clear to me, especially when it comes to the parents.

Sorry, I didn’t explain earlier. These are basically all intended as storage rooms (hobby rooms, etc.), but almost all of them are planned to have nearly the quality of living space.

Does it then make sense to nest them this way (separate entrances)? Unless there are different uses, for example, a wine cellar... An exciting project. Looking forward to the development and construction.

Living space quality ... but without natural light, right?
