Cultivation Planning / Change

Actually, you shouldn’t have such a discussion with us, but rather with your wife and your parents together at the table.
The question is not only whether you deny many things too much (or your wife), but also, at this time - and not much later - how your parents see it. How much concession are they willing to make? Do they see the problem? Do they know about your desire to have children?
What is their attitude towards a sale or a new build?
After the meeting with the bank, you should seek this conversation.
And I would never immediately deny something, but rather consider the possibilities (of the rooms), because at the moment you are pretty much standing in your own way with your demands and no-gos.

Best regards, Yvonne

Is it possibly possible to increase the amount?

Ok, here is a completely different approach. Open space as the center - no hallways - no wasted space. Furniture arrangement can certainly be optimized further. Kitchen also possible as a single row at the bottom of the plan. Soundproofing is definitely an issue here, I just have to plan for it from the start during construction. Separation from the basement easily possible with a door after the stairs.

Wow, this floor plan really offers a lot. Great!

Yes, all problems solved. Thread finished.

Just for fun, I painted big windows again (fixed at the bottom, openable at the top) and doors with a French balcony. I also indicated the square meters as a guideline. The exact exterior dimensions are unknown and were only estimated using a ruler and ratio equations.

I can really imagine this with a modern and cool open-plan kitchen.

I also think it’s great again [emoji85] [emoji23]. I believe the thread starter probably needs a break to sort things out. Whether an extension or a new build, he would have quite a large project ahead of him.
