Here is a picture of my stairs with a glass wall. It had to be in 2 parts, otherwise it would have become too unwieldy. We have a room height of 280 cm. The raw steel staircase is certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think the style is cool :)

Under the given conditions, there is in my opinion not much room for maneuver left. Here is a suggestion that is strongly based on the previous draft (which I personally consider a mistake due to the lack of garden orientation):

In my opinion, improved are
- arrangement of the granny flat/office
- wider access to the kitchen
- depth of the dining area
- cloakroom
- shape/size of the ironing room

what remains:
- living room too large - you could hang a swing from the ceiling and still have unused space.
- entrance area too tight - not adequate to the overall size - this is due to the priorities.

If it were mine, the entire north would be the living area with the kitchen on the right side of the plan with a window facing south, living room on the left side of the plan with large window fronts from the west and north. Terrace northwest around the corner.
In the south, office/granny flat and the rest of the clutter. But the gentleman definitely wants the southern rooms for living. That is an argument.

I traced the floor plan 1:1 to scale… then I can measure the staircase. Of course, it could also be 3.97 or 4.05. The program isn’t that precise.

So! I have now completely ignored that. I don’t see an apartment for 2 people, whether frail or not. I also don’t see a retirement home for you… I already call a 50sqm granny flat too small a hole for parents… yes, that wouldn’t be _my_ idea of a peaceful old age. A granny flat here can be for longer visits, grown-up children or separated or snoring partners. Or yes, a person for care.

It is what it is: follow-up applications to the building application can here only concern interior work or windows. I wanted to give up until I realized/noted that the OP wants a conservative kitchen and not such a stylish room with an island… That, I think, works quite well with the corner terrace. On the north side then a nice spot for the kids to have lunch in summer.
I chose a closed sliding door to the kitchen, also gave the staircase a wall panel instead of glass because with lots of glass and openness, you sometimes need a bit of wall and a door (even though it looks great with the cube).

Oh yes: upstairs I left out the office, because that can go under the dining area or living room in the basement with a nice light well, while the living room plus light well probably works less well because of the necessary distance to the street.

What occurs to me in principle: a door between corridor and open plan room makes no sense if you plan the stairs open or with glass.

If you give up the ballroom at the bottom of the plan and arrange living/dining in a line, a larger entrance area could also be realized. The reading room then catches the unused space; if you really wanted to use the granny flat, you would then also have an office. But it is not particularly space-efficient to create an additional room just because you don't know what to do with the space...

I had planned that at first too, but the focus on the bright south-facing rooms seemed very important to the OP. That's why I left it as it is. If I have the desire and time, I'll make the complete counterproposal with garden connection this evening.

You are right, Katja, I should have described it more precisely.
Maybe it is also because this granny flat was planned "half-heartedly" just to get the funding.
I have thought about it again and something important came to my mind: maybe the more probable use case for the granny flat would be that in old age we only have enough space on the ground floor (so we are not reliant on the upper floor).


Thanks. I suspect that good programs cost a lot of money.


It is a normal office where we sit at the desk and possibly make calls.
