Forward-looking floor plan design upper floor

So far, I haven't come up with anything really convincing, so all I have left is a pathetic attempt. The figure of the Boanlkramer is only incompletely understood without "basic knowledge" of the Herrgott's conception among the Bavarian-speaking peoples; a mere interpretation of him as just another name for the Grim Reaper wouldn't do him complete justice. When the Herrgott calls one of His own to Him, it is the Boanlkramer's (Boan = bones) task to announce this to the person concerned and invite them to be taken along. Like a court bailiff who brings a witness from the waiting area in the hallway into the courtroom, the Boanlkramer is a purely executive servant in this role, and delivering the divine order is unpleasant for him. He has no discretion, but his reliability has two weak points (namely card playing and cherry schnapps). So if it is determined for someone, then the Boanlkramer will certainly come – however, concerning the predictability of his appearance, he can be lumped in with his colleagues at DHL & Co. ;-)
A start of construction under the condition of a death is thus a calculation made without the host, hence my remark. The very elderly live longer – unfortunately especially those who, in relation to the Boanlkramer, are already anxiously sitting on packed suitcases.

Hi 11ant, thanks for the info. In this complicated matter, I don’t find it so bad that I didn’t know. :) :cool: Regards Olli

Hi hello,

Thank you for the exchange. The house will probably be built that way because it meets our requirements.
@ Ypg In the planning, I was concerned about the possible alternative in the distant future. There is hardly any room for maneuver regarding the width. Inside, it looks different. There is certainly still some variable despite the building permit.

The building permit is valid for 3 years and can then be extended by another 2 years. We accept the risk that grandma will live for another five years because the probability seems extremely low to us. That we have plenty of time to plan everything calmly, we see as a huge advantage. Bad moods, even crises in the preparation phase often arise from time pressure and stress. So we keep putting the house building topic aside from time to time and keep bringing certain points back up whenever we feel like dealing with this topic. In the time while grandma is still alive, we can save a lot, which is also a considerable advantage.
The year 2020 was practically "given" to us for planning. I was on parental leave, my husband was home due to Corona.
The house fulfills almost all our wishes (the location of the rooms, of course, cannot be freely chosen due to the cardinal directions) and the draftsman really did a good job. What is so crazy about it, I honestly cannot see. Well, the stair topic... I only know people who are against placing the stairs that way, who don’t even have stairs like that themselves, in other words, do not speak from their own experience. I prefer to trust people who know what they are talking about. When our first son was born, we traveled with him at the age of 10 months, for just under 4 months, backpacking through Asia. (Before that, we traveled through almost all countries of SOA with a backpack). What did some people around us shout: for God's sake, the baby! (never having been to Asia themselves). Those who had actually been there encouraged us. And lo and behold: it was one of the most beautiful trips of our lives!

@ Schirmi 1971
Very nice! Cheers, I could really use one right now too

@ hampshire Thank you for your response and your effort. I agree with you that if you want to do it "properly," you definitely need different conditions. And yes, our floor plan does not fit that. I think, just as I reconsidered it right at the beginning in the first post, it makes the most sense. I just keep that in mind, and I can’t really "plan" more on this topic due to the many unknowns.
