Floor plan house with granny flat - improvement suggestions?

The dimensions of the furniture do not correspond to those of reality. Furnish the open-plan living area with your furniture. What do you like about the floor plan?

Why do you want or have to build? Is an extension and exchange of the floors not possible?

By the way; I am a nurse and could also care for my parents at home if it should come to the point that they need care. The topic of care was also important to us in all the considerations.

The granny flat is a total mess. Especially you should know how much space and distances are necessary for care. The granny flat is for two who do not cook and are physically active.

Unfortunately, I can't follow you here; I haven't pulled out any old plans, the plans I posted here today are identical 1:1 with the plans for which we received the building permit. They were just created with different software.

And the same plans, the construction of which you stopped, right? That's what I mean by "old," "for the bin," "useless." Call it whatever you want.

Whether the parents, both or just one, will be deceased in 10-12 years or will still be living in the granny flat, I don't know. And to be honest, the parents will die someday (just like us), but I don't want to speculate now when that might happen.

I wouldn't bet on that too much. My grandma is now 101 and my dad is still happily jumping around his house at 86. I just wanted to say that the children's rooms empty out much faster than the granny flat.

What do you think about the option to swap the ground floor and the upper floor and you move completely to the upper floor? The garden won't run away because of that.

I also believe that by swapping the ground floor with the upper floor, a good version of Katja's design is realized. However, the question then of course arises whether you would designate a separate area in the garden for yourselves or if, due to your close bond with the parents, it wouldn’t be a problem at all to be in the garden in front of their bedroom/terrace.

We are putting an external spiral staircase on the balcony (-> google). :) And I rotated the thing again - the orientation of the terrace on the ground floor was wrong:

We currently live in a multi-family house, where we live on the ground floor and my parents live upstairs. My parents have a strong emotional bond with their grandchildren, and it would be too much for them if after all these years, in which we have lived together, we were to separate spatially at this stage of life.

You are evading. That does not answer the question, which has already been asked here numerous times and ignored by you just as often: What do your parents say about this floor plan, about the prospect of having to "live" for the next 20 years in 20m2? Can they imagine what an "all-purpose room" consisting of kitchen and living room with 20m2 means, and do they know that they have to eat at the TV table?
