Hello everyone,
we are in the process of building a single-family house with a basement suitable for living. This is the design we have come up with. I would like to hear from you if you see any possibilities for improvements.
On the ground floor, there is a side entrance door on the right. The carport will be located there.
In the basement living area, the children's rooms face south. From there, it should be possible to access the terrace and the garden.
I look forward to your tips and suggestions!

Unfortunately, my painting skills aren’t even enough to create an amusing result; maybe Katja could "visualize" this? Sorry, my skills are even worse than yours. I also don’t quite understand what you have in mind. One side of the shed roof with just the rafters? Where would they lead? The original poster is building a stepped floor to avoid sloped ceilings, and now you suggest adding a sloped shed roof? I think I’m missing part of your explanation. I must admit, I haven’t followed the entire thread.Franky73 schrieb:
Haydee, that’s really kind of you, but in the long term, considering age, we want to keep our living areas on the ground floor. Rooms can be exchanged. What’s the problem if you’re only three or two people left and you move the sofa downstairs?
And stairlifts don’t cost a fortune anymore.
I’m not trying to convince you, just offering a different perspective.
By the way, in our case the upper floor is completely barrier-free, and even with a wheelchair you can get everywhere. We don’t want to end up with a ghost floor in 20 or 30 years and have to squeeze ourselves into the basement.

We don’t want to end up with a ghost floor in 20 or 30 years and be squeezed into the basement. This is a forum where everyone can freely express their opinions. Your option is not suitable for us. It won’t become a ghost floor; it will be years before both children move out. Until then, those rooms will just be guest rooms or hobby rooms, or whatever we need.
The thread is already very long, and I can’t and don’t want to keep backtracking. Then we’d still be planning in 10 years. Many of your arguments were about thinking long-term for us—the parents. We see it that way too! As I have said several times, option 4a seems to be the best solution for us and our needs/circumstances. If anyone sees any room for improvement there, feel free to share.
