I was just about to say "just build only when the children are actually only occasional guests," but

everything seems to me the complete opposite of the impression that the children have clear plans about "leaving the nest if and when" in the medium term.

That actually sounded like an experienced repeat builder with already a whole notebook full of corners that the architect back then should have considered, along with improvement suggestions A, B, and C written behind them including their considered evaluation. And now the thread still reads after thirty pages no bit more mature than those of first-time parents who are total novices in their turbulent confusion about having no clue of all the confusing new terms, being wowed by Pinterest and model homes, and frustrated about financial advisors saying the money for the land survey must be saved again at the Jacuzzi and the building authority saying "njet" to the larger dormer. It seems to me that somehow the director is in the wrong movie (?)

Well, that was just a sample floor plan, which also has no problem, for example, with being a bit wider or something similar.

Could you upload the original floor plan from the planner with measurements and the upper floor as the new ground floor?

I also don’t quite understand how the house fits into the building plot. You want a double carport on the east, right? How many meters will then remain for the house width? According to the plan on p.1, the depth of the building plot is 13 m, but your first floor plan was 15x14 m. What is the current size?

I think there is simply too little space on the ground floor for the kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, and utility room. In my opinion, living or sleeping areas should be upstairs. I would put the bedroom upstairs and design the living room as a separate room. If you really want to move downstairs later, you can simply turn the living room into a bedroom. Two shower bathrooms can’t hurt either because of children and later grandchildren.

If you now have two teenage children, you’re probably not even 50 years old, right? That means you can probably still climb stairs for another 30 years.

Hi,

attached are the current drafts. I don’t have a planner drawing yet – this was created in a Skype session. We’re meeting on Tuesday to plan more concretely.

The house is currently 13 meters wide and 10 meters deep, plus 2 meters in the bay window.

At least one of the children wants to stay in the region. Possibly, an independent apartment will be created upstairs quite soon where she can live with her family.

Regards, Andreas

Then it would become a two-family house or a house with a fixed granny flat, which would be a significant change to the plan.

I can't give you a concrete suggestion either because this constant changing confuses me.
1. Living room with TV and office for you upstairs.
2. Bedroom for you upstairs.
3. The upper floor should become its own apartment, where the children, who (I quote) hopefully will move out soon, suddenly get their own apartment. By the way, with windows in the bedrooms that face the living and dining room of Mom & Dad.

You really need to first consider how you want to use YOUR house now and in the near future. Nobody cares today about what will be in 30 years. Maybe you will build new then or you will have to renovate anyway and can remodel while doing so.

If it were my property, I would make much better use of the north and east sides (e.g. for the bedroom and the bathroom, possibly also for the living room), because you have a lovely quiet forest right outside there. Towards the west, where the neighbor sits, and towards the south, where the street and the other houses opposite are, you can place things like the kitchen and dining room well. And the children. In front of the transformer station, I would plant tall evergreen plants and not orient the rooms after it. I would place the entrance rather on the side and try turning the staircase (only if it is not going to be a two-family house!). In all your floor plans, you enter at the bottom right corner and then snake along with very long corridors towards the top left of the plan.

So when you clearly know how the house should be used and where you want to sleep, shower, watch TV, and work, let us know. Then maybe there will be a concrete suggestion.
