The dream would be to turn the existing house into a semi-detached house with two differently sized halves (one half for grandma, the second half for us as a family of four). This way, everything would be better separable (front door, no shared staircase, garden, etc.). However, this is difficult due to the staircase.
Does anyone have experience with or has already undergone such a conversion or can say whether something like this is possible?
Currently, we are still wildly considering and drawing, an architect has not yet been involved.
Maybe one or the other of you has recommendations or ideas?
The most effective "recommendation," no please, has already been expressed repeatedly: to give us a visual introduction and thereby let us share in your brainwaves. I don’t understand why, when "wildly considering," one can’t come up with the idea to turn on the light once and stop using invisible paper. How attaching a "semi-detached house" to the staircase location of the existing house should fail completely exceeds my imagination without a drawing (even though I have been experienced in residential planning for four decades). So far, we only know two things about the house: the footprint is 9 x 10 m and the year of construction is 1951. The latter lets one assess the gutted shell especially before the high goal of an energy-current or even avant-garde target state as an economic total loss. And you have so far remained guilty of providing even the most trivial information, such as whether it is even a "city villa." As a typical settlement witch's cottage for the construction period, it can hardly have more than 110 sqm as the sum of both living areas. Also, whether there is any building window left on any side for an extension remains your secret so far :-(
