Floor plan design for a two-family house on a slope

Thank God neither you nor anyone in your family fell ill!

Tell me, is that an olive tree in the front yard? How do you keep it through the winter? Is it covered?
That is a huge thing! I've been taking care of mine for almost 15 years, but it looks puny compared to this specimen!

Thank God neither you nor anyone in your family got sick! Tell me, is that an olive tree in the front yard? How do you get it through the winter? Is it enclosed? That’s a huge one! I’ve been taking care of mine for almost 15 years, but it’s a runt compared to this specimen!

Thanks for the sympathy. Correct, it is an olive tree (supposedly frost hardy down to -15 degrees). I bought it from Planet Plazza in March or April. It was a small wish of mine. Recently they had one at the Toom market at a crazy price, wanted to grab it again, but I’m first seeing how to get it through the winter. We are at about 450m altitude. So it can sometimes get a bit colder. I suspect around -5 degrees of sustained frost (1 week) will be critical. Above all, I want to protect the little tree from the wind. Probably with a "bag." I don’t plan (for now) to put heating coils in the ground.

Then you were not in Timmendorf/Niendorf/Scharbeutz

In Großenbrode at the nature/north beach. The south beach, on the other hand, was cleared by the police at least once during our stay.

In our neighboring village, someone outside has also firmly planted an olive tree. They always bring it inside for the winter, having basically built a buildable and removable greenhouse made of wood and foil/plexiglass around the tree in autumn, which disappears again in spring. The olive tree has lasted several years already, but it is also bigger. However, we do have longer periods of cold here. Well, let's give climate change a few more years, then there will be no need to protect anything anymore.

In Großenbrode am Natur-/Nordstrand. Der Südstrand hingegen wurde während unserer Aufenthaltsdauer mindestens einmal polizeilich geräumt.

We met with acquaintances in Timmendorf on Saturday. To run away from it. Timmendorf won’t see me again that soon. Eckernförde is quite different.

Here is another picture of the olive tree. Since it is framed in a rectangle, I have already considered that if it gets too frosty, I will "close up" the tree. Relatively simple, four wooden beams up at the corners and seal the sides and roof with bubble wrap. My initial idea of designing it with polycarbonate hollow chamber panels, I am putting aside for now due to the higher costs.
