We are a small family with three daughters living in a small detached house in Bavaria.
One of our daughters has a disability, and we would like to build an accessible, single-level granny flat (not wheelchair accessible) for her.
Since it doesn’t make much sense to do this in our current house, we want to build a bungalow with this granny flat, preferably using a timber frame construction.
I have already received proposals from two prefabricated house providers—the plot of land is already secured—but I was not really satisfied with either design.
Now, I have created my own plan based on both designs and would like to hear your opinions on it.
I should also mention that the house fits exactly onto the plot, which has about a 7% slope facing south.
Thanks in advance

The fact that the granny flat branches off in a way that the main dwelling is not truly separate seems unfortunate to me. What did the individual plans look like that you have combined here?

bernd.nieberle22 Mar 2020 20:22You mean the wall shared between the guest apartment bathroom and the main apartment bedroom? Well... the guest apartment bathroom no longer fits in the northern area. And swapping it with the utility room? I was told that shouldn’t be placed in the center either. Although a flat roof is planned in the center, and a skylight would be possible there.
One plan had the guest apartment entirely on the left side – but without a garage (which is important to me) and the main apartment kitchen without a window. In the second plan, the rooms were arranged similarly, but the bathrooms were narrow and all the rooms were a bit smaller.

bernd.nieberle23 Mar 2020 17:40Thank you for your assessment. A shared entrance area was a major priority for us. The large double door separates the main apartment in case a caregiver or attendant is present. It was originally planned above the wardrobe, but then the entrance area became too limited.
No questionnaire completed.
Who is sleeping where now? Which room is child 3 using? In my opinion, 9m² (97 square feet) rooms are too small for children’s bedrooms.
Basically, I don’t think it’s a disaster, but I wonder how you plan the roof here? Could you share one or two elevations? I almost always dislike "U"-shaped designs because they tend to be dark and unattractive.
The terrace of the granny flat would then be in front of the parents’ bedroom? Hmm. I probably wouldn’t want to sit there.
Compared to the Elephant design, I find the entrance situation not bad if it’s going to stay a family home anyway. Otherwise, too much information is missing due to the lack of a site plan and a completed questionnaire.
