Floor plan house with granny flat - improvement suggestions?

Currently we are not planning a room for my brother in the granny flat

Dear Katja, dear planners We can start everything all over again now ;)

Of course, I can understand when a BU who takes this journey along eventually get fed up. :D

Do you notice something? I like to tinker… and I know that in the past few days I had several very good approaches… without student son in the granny flat… and if I were now an employed architect working for the BU, I would be fed up by now at the latest :D :eek::cool: Because last week was wasted time… simply time burned. :oops:

Well, it doesn't actually have to be completely new. Würfel's approaches were already quite good. You could save the bathroom inside and maybe turn it into a storage room for the vacuum cleaner etc. Washing machine in the children's bathroom and the brother can go in there too. And the so-called "brother's room" becomes the guest room. .. my parents, 86 and 83, are also quite happy with their 120 sqm with a basement ;). They are still in good shape and couldn't imagine having a granny flat at all. Especially since they already need 2 bedrooms and an office/piano room themselves ;). They renewed their kitchen again 7 years ago and regretted not having done it 5 years earlier. It was still the kitchen from 1980 and of course I planned all the "good stuff" into their small two-line kitchen ;).

Then at least link the draft... sorry, but it's tedious to have to leaf through all of that.

Then at least link the draft… sorry, but it’s tedious to have to keep flipping back through all of this.

Found via Würfel's profile. That completely passed me by… yes, it’s great. Brother’s room as a guest room, the bathroom as a utility room. The kitchen in the granny flat could give something for the bathroom?

Thank you .. I only remembered it as good and would have had to scroll back ;) .. why didn’t you just post the link right away? ;)

I would say the images have been changed enough now, the OP should slowly make up their mind. There was a suggestion from in post #89 and from Yvonne in post #116ff, which I would propose as consideration templates, and several suggestions from Katja could be "scanned" again to see if the two aforementioned ones left any essential idea unconsidered. When commissioning an architect yourself, you wouldn’t endlessly keep tinkering as if the 148,713th draft would bring the ultimate enlightenment, but rather in a systematic process distill an approvable design and that would be good.

My suggestion would therefore be that the OP simply checks the mentioned designs from and each against the yardstick "Pareto optimum reached YES or NO" (and if you like also "YES, but…") and then tells the planner to work out one or both.

I see the train for the theoretical royal road, going completely “back to Adam and Eve,” as having left the station, because the possible gain in perfection would no longer be in proportion to the additional time required here, and the aspect

that the pricing can no longer be maintained with the delay.

seems too real to me to ignore it for the sake of seeking the true highest art.

Both aforementioned designs, in my opinion, have a sufficient level of maturity to be refined into usable construction drawings by a professional planner, possibly after the entire or partial removal of the brother guest suite. The result might then only reach a maximum of 99.75 instead of 99.99%, but that can probably be lived with. The emergency brake has been pulled, but nobody now needs to take Ilsebill Fischer (or even just Princess ) as an example.
