I don’t understand that either, can the tenant access your area?
Best regards
SabineHi Sabine,
There are two entrances to the granny flat.
One from the outside (to the left of the garage),
and
there is also a lockable door from the main living area in the basement that leads to the granny flat.

...and then just a sliding door into the living room? Drunk guests at the party who get the door wrong, end up vomiting in the living room or hooking up in the guest room? Or those who have to go upstairs to the bathroom because the downstairs one is occupied...
That’s what I call a granny flat with family connection You really made both of us laugh just now, that’s true!

How about a second door that creates a small entrance area with its own access to the basement?Do you mean another door to the hallway in the basement serving as a small entrance area?

SabineSort of, the door between the hallway and the utility room in the basement can be locked with a key.j.bautsch schrieb:
just a quick (must be removed) my idea for the upper floor@j.bautsch: Thanks for the suggestion! Interesting, however, we also want to ensure that the children can access our bathroom 2 in case bathroom 1 is occupied.What are the dashed lines in the attic floor plan?
This is probably one of my shortest posts: just build it like this.

This is probably one of my shortest posts: build it like that. Thank you for your reply. We appreciate it, and so will our architect.
The dashed lines in the attic floor plan indicate an alternative wall layout between the children's rooms.
We are also very interested in your suggestions and feedback....
