Unfortunately, you give us lots of measurements but do not provide a dimensioned floor plan.
And in general, your knee wall problem is not solved. What speaks against execution as a full floor? There is enough ground floor area available, isn’t there? Or what exactly is the regulation in the development plan?
There are still some quirks in the planning – in my opinion, for example the bathroom in the senior apartment... 2 accesses are really impractical if the bathroom also serves as a guest WC. Huge hallway, but hardly any freedom of movement in the bedroom. Even if your parents are still fit now, if you build such a retirement apartment, you should think 10 to 20 years ahead. A walker might be necessary or something similar.
I have already mentioned the granny flat, which I find completely misplanned. I would take that area, first design the ideal granny flat, and then check if there is a possibility to also open the granny flat into the main house as an interim solution for the son. If not, the son will have to go around outside.
