The elevator is in case one of us two can no longer climb stairs (well) or is in a wheelchair. We actually wanted to build a bungalow because of accessibility, but the plot was a bit too small for that, so we decided on two floors with an elevator instead. So the shaft remains empty for now. Only if the unfavorable case occurs can the elevator be installed. Of course, then an access to the house can also be made on the side through the garden so that you don’t have to go up the stairs to the entrance. We are both still relatively young, but you never know. I drive a lot on the highway for work, something can always happen.
