Hello everyone,
We are almost finished planning our house. The building permit / planning permission application will be submitted soon. The house was designed together with our architect. We created several versions.
After careful consideration, we have now decided to include a granny flat. Initially, a double garage was planned in that space. As a result, we now lack the amount of storage space we originally expected. I think this is a disadvantage.
The granny flat is primarily intended for our parents or possibly for an older couple or similar.
The garage is now planned for a later stage.
It would be really great if you could provide your feedback on the different floor plans for the basement / ground floor / upper floor.
We would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the overall design — what you think works well and what might be less ideal.
Thanks in advance...

Hmm, I always find that a bit strange.. – why would the parents want to live happily and voluntarily in such a small basement apartment like the janitor couple, while their descendants live above? You say basement, but here it is usually at ground level, and that is an advantage if it is barrier-free.

You’re right, basements are common, but here most homes are built at ground level, which is an advantage for barrier-free access.That’s exactly how it is. That was also a basic idea[emoji1303]

Unfortunately, we do not have the site plan yet. It is currently still with the surveyor.
You probably have a hand-drawn plan of the plot, or you can sketch one here for evaluation?
The orientation is also important, and I’d like to remind you that you are asking something from the users here.
Regards

It’s also about the orientation, and I want to remind you that you’re asking something from the users here.
