Who knows if it will still be a corner location after an extension – we don’t know the plot or the building area...

Yes, with the limited information I have, it’s naturally difficult to tell as well 😉
You’re right, the staircase wouldn’t necessarily have to remain in the corner… but it will probably end up that way since the staircase is located on the north side, while a great view is to the east/south, so an extension would likely be planned in that direction.
For now, I just wanted to gather some visual information for myself, even though I’d like to fully dive into the planning phase already. At some point, I’ll also start a proper thread with all the necessary documents. I have to admit, I’m not exactly sure how to do it right. The house belongs to me, but it’s currently still lived in by someone from our family (over 80 years old).
So, what’s the right way to do it? Should I start planning only once the house is vacant, then regret not having dealt with it earlier? But if I start now, I can already hear the comments that maybe such a project should only be tackled when it’s truly certain. As they say, no matter what you do, it’s wrong 😎

Daydreaming is allowed.
As long as I live, it was decided that the old house will be demolished. There have always been ideas and plans. You don’t have to involve architects and builders as long as the house is still occupied.

The basic facts are already there (the plot and the legal building framework), and also the house (which, unless it was built under Napoleon or even the Romans, should have an official file at the building authority). There’s no need to personally measure anything first.

My mother-in-law has a very similar floor plan. The house is located in Franconia and was built in the post-war years. Each wall is made of a different building material (whatever was available at the time), and the basement has a rammed earth floor with tiles on top. However, it was built as a semi-detached house. Overall, this floor plan appears about 10 times on the street, sometimes as a semi-detached house, sometimes slightly larger as a single-family home.

About 10-12 years ago, it was renovated, during which the wall between the living room and bedroom (the two large rooms) was removed. So, the ground floor now consists of a living/dining room, kitchen, hallway, and bathroom. It was originally planned as a two-family house, which is why there is still a door in the hallway at the end of the stairs.

Why not start with the planning already? You’ll just lose unnecessary time when construction is supposed to begin.
What are the dimensions exactly, 9 by 9.5 meters (30 by 31 feet)?

No matter what, new build or renovation – why do you need a similar floor plan? When you remodel an existing building, you do it according to your own needs. There’s no need to look at other floor plans with a similar staircase position. It’s there, so just get started!
