ᐅ Final Stage of Floor Plan Design – Wearing Rose-Colored Glasses

... everything is still basically the same; only some details in the layout of the interior walls have changed. It remains a Frankenstein-style house that misuses and overshadows a building plot where the ground-floor ceiling up to the roof has been removed – in other words, a stillborn project (and I remain doubtful that the district building authority will prevent this nonsense). This is no longer about rose-colored glasses; you would have to have taken a strong dose of LSD to believe otherwise!
If I were the head of the building department, the building application would immediately be forwarded to family court to assign guardianship over all involved parties. If you only look at the upper floor plan here, you might barely understand my words – they become clearer when considering the demolition details. But anyone who reviews the entire original thread, including the existing house, can hardly seriously doubt the level of irrationality that sparked this crazy idea.

Well, what else is the seller supposed to say when they receive a commission on every bathroom?
I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it definitely isn’t sufficient.
I have a small bathroom, about 6 square meters (65 square feet). You can manage it, but it’s far from ideal. And if the space were cut in half...

“Rose-colored glasses” in your headline is quite fitting.

Exactly. It’s really very nice in person. The same goes here, by the way.

This is quite doable even for non-experts, you just need to imagine the shown floor plan “in color layers”: the yellow crossed-out area is the demolition, the gray part is the small overlap between old and new, and wherever the exterior walls extend in red—like the fingernails of supermarket cashiers—that’s where the treehouse flattens the existing house and turns it into a dark cave. It’s easier to follow in the original thread, but here you can also see that it seems like a trickster is at work. The practically open-to-below gallery staircase, attached like a fire escape, seals the fate of the existing house from a resale perspective. Not as an act of mercy, but as a sneaky knockout blow. The poor parents would probably want to hang themselves during the shell construction phase if they realized what they signed off on, because on one hand their dear daughter wants it so much, and on the other hand, they believed they could grow old in their familiar surroundings. But as I said, I firmly believe that the often-criticized bureaucracy will pull the emergency brake.

In the last thread, you didn’t explain why your parents-in-law don’t want to move upstairs.
You say they don’t want to expand, but it would make sense if they moved upstairs. Your husband’s office could still stay upstairs, since it’s separate from the living area.

Could you please share all the current floor plans?

It doesn’t look like a treehouse at all. Google “Kitzbühel Chalet” to get an idea of what it might look like.
