Floor plan tips for a single-family house with a desired granny flat

What I also notice, what is poorly planned but can be changed by briefly moving walls and doors: in the basement the seniors' hallway is co-used by you. I don’t find that appealing – the seniors basically have no privacy. What if they want to go from the bathroom to bed in the evening while you are still working down there in the utility room?

Yes, that’s really bad. It has to be changed. I wouldn’t know how. But the architect will have to do that.

. What still doesn't reach the teen at his gaming console there thanks to headphones is the call to dinner ;-)

Very nice, that's probably how it will be

It's a pity that you don't respond to my post as the only one.

By the way, I still maintain that the price will never be kept. Do you know everything that has to be done on the construction side? What the fixed price refers to? What about flooring/painting? So the garage is also included... as much as I wish it for you... that cannot work.

Please excuse me, I somehow had trouble with quoting. I hope I have now answered all the initial questions. It was not intentional. I am really happy about such a forum and very grateful for fresh and new ideas.

Nowadays it’s ordered via WA. ;) on the topic: leave the straight staircase as it is and plan one that fits the house. Then you’ll also solve the big rest.

I'm not an expert, but I hope and believe that much has been taken into account. The builder has constructed around 40 houses in a new development area. We took the trouble to ring the doorbell at many and just asked. Everyone was very satisfied with price and performance. I hope we will be satisfied too.
Flooring is included, painting is not. Spackling is also not included. We'll do that ourselves.

What about the roof structure?

The ones I call here once ridge beams do not receive any support due to the lack of load-bearing walls, but instead span freely between the gable walls. Overall, the gable roof with knee wall 185 on a presumably "city villa" catalog design is unusual, and I further suspect that it resulted from the moderation between the client's wishes and the development plan requirements. It would have been more clever not to start from a square floor plan. Now, and if you essentially want to stick to this design, however, the inherently unwise straight staircase cannot really be changed either.
