Floor plan ideas for a detached single-family house as an extension with 3 children's rooms and an office

Thank you all for your tips! Would building a house really be economic suicide? My wife will hardly believe me anyway. The garden aspect is important to me as well, but we have a park just a few meters away and that alone should not be the sole reason. Wishing everyone a good start into the new year in advance.

Hey, I get the impression that your main reasons for a new building are your wife's fear of asbestos and having a private entrance to the house. For that, you sacrifice the garden and a lot of money with a new building, money that could be used by the family for many nice things. Therefore: terminate the tenant, hire the best expert to rule out asbestos, and build your own staircase.

Hi and everyone else,

sorry to bump the thread again but I have to thank you for your help.
That is exactly the plan now.
We have found an architect.
The energy consultant was here today as well. The costs apparently only come close to those of a new build.
I will start a new thread about this. It will then be about existing building planning.

Best regards and thanks

Hello how is it going? Have you made any progress yet?

Hello yes, we are currently planning with an architect. The rough plan is done. Now we have to draw in the windows and then she will assess where it works as we want and where not.

I am curious. Did you see? I mentioned you in another thread. It is also about an old DH.
