There is, of course, a reason for everything, the "mudroom" because of pets or children with wet boots, a closed kitchen due to strong odors, direct access from the garage to the apartment because of hail + rain, bulk shopping and much more. The more you focus on it, the more you believe that it wouldn’t work without it or that you would make a mistake if you left it out. Sometimes, however, you overlook the consequences, such as here initially the costs, the loss of parking space!!!, a possibly additional point of entry for burglars with a side entrance door, etc., and all just because you could save a few meters of walking. At the beginning we naturally also had this idea, but ultimately in my opinion it is unnecessary, because a front door is just a few meters away. Somehow we don't want to design the house to be over-optimized so that you don’t have to/can’t operate anything manually anymore, basically don’t walk a single unnecessary meter, everything is automatically controlled to save maximum time, so that I can get to the gym faster afterwards to finally move again.
