Floor plan house with granny flat - improvement suggestions?

so that we have as much garden area as possible

This is a crazy idea. Having as much garden area as possible is important and of interest with really large gardens and estates with sightlines, mature vegetation and possibly even a beautiful castle in the background. Your eyes can see for miles, they see the end of your garden anyway. The children don’t care how big the garden is, they just play where and how it suits them. No child has ever suffered because the garden didn’t allow running straight for x hundred meters. A proper garden design makes what is left as the garden interesting. No matter how small the garden is. Our urban gardens are only 40 sqm. Still looks great. My mother even had only a balcony. But it was so beautiful and naturally planted that it easily outshone any random garden (haha).

Why don’t you include the spacious area under the hipped roof as a parents’ area with its own bathroom and storage room?

The granny flat should be completely accommodated on the ground floor – a second staircase unnecessarily takes up space.

On the ground floor there should be a multi-purpose room with primarily kitchen / dining / small play/media or whatever corner; dining table possibly equipped with two large comfortable kitchen sofas, so that these can also be used for lounging.

Winter living room on the upper floor

I know some houses, only on paper and in reality, where the family living room was placed upstairs. The entrance and living kitchen with terrace access were on the ground floor, the granny flat could spread well on the ground floor, and the roof, which is there anyway, was used. Would a gable roof also be an option ?

We are currently in the final planning phase and would like to have feedback from you about our building project.

To what extent are you now committed to the plan? Would another option still be open from a planning perspective?

Garage in the northwest; very good idea: Unfortunately, that is not possible because the driveway to the play street is here.

And what do you mean by "here"? Where is the play street supposed to be?

To what extent are you now committed to the plan? Would another option still be open from the planning perspective?

I think the OP is somewhat speechless because of the feedback...

Yes, it's actually a shame that nowadays questioners always become speechless when they get answers to their question and even when interest is shown in them :oops:
