About the extension
Mother occasionally needs a walker. Limitations are rather increasing.
Sockets high
Doors 100 cm wide
Storage room gone
Bathroom and bedroom lack space
The bathroom in Kaho's proposal works halfway in contrast to the wet cell
70 cm space between bed and wall
is sufficient without aids.
Walker isn’t, helper neither
But where to get the space from?
I don’t find the bedroom that tight at all. Room width 3.70 m. Let’s take a bed 1.90 m wide – the usual size in small houses – then you have 90 cm to walk on both sides. If grandma were dependent on a wheelchair now, you could still push the bed up to 20 cm towards grandpa.
I would really try to get the technology into the intermediate structure. Then this would be my latest version with 1 m doors for the seniors:
I would at least enforce the 50 cm for the wardrobe. Under the stairs – you are already standing there with your clothes and shoes in the living room. You won’t even notice the 15 cm wall offset for the guest room. The wall is then just placed in front of the bay window instead of next to it. You lose 0.09 m² living space but gain a proper wardrobe!
For the kitchen, I would make sure that the 3.60 m remain. I would only add the narrow decorative wall to enclose the kitchen cupboard if there is enough room for it. But it would look better, as otherwise the door to the guest room looks so squeezed on the edge. It’s enough if it’s 5 cm drywall.
