Barrier-free guide
It's not about making the house wheelchair accessible, but about considering the space requirements. It's pretty much the same for a walker.
The extension is missing measurements
Turning circle approx. 1.5 m (a compass helps)
Space between bed and wall/wardrobe 1.5 m
Doors 1 m
Your parents are building new now. Your mother has a handicap, I wouldn't make compromises there. In addition, there are the typical age-related ailments.
Entrance without thresholds, hallway area without shoes and bags on the floor (trip hazards). Seating area to change shoes
Bathroom without niches, with turning circle.
When age hits in 10, 15 years, you might not want to walk backwards into the shower and on the wet floor anymore
Hanse Haus Bungalow 133
Is too big and does not fit.
However, bathroom, sleeping area, and living area really work
I would design the intermediate building so that it serves as an entrance for your parents and accommodates the wardrobe.
Long narrow hallway gone
Mini storage room gone
All doors 1 m wide
Bathroom truly barrier-free except for the sink
With timber framing and front buildings, have the wall where handles etc. are mounted or might be needed in the future, reinforced with solid wood
