Initial planning single-family house with granny flat on 600 m2

The best thing is to open a new thread again with the best possible information, including the reasons for the individual projects.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I also think now that we should let this thread rest due to all the uncertainties and confusions, and I will start a new one once I have incorporated all your advice into the text and possibly new floor plans. Thank you and regards Florian

First drafts according to our ideas to define the space requirements and demands for the first meeting with the architect.

Consider whether a granny flat that separates you from the garden for 30 years and longer is really so great. Everyone should plan for their current and medium-term needs. If it is to be a single-family house, why then an expensive flat for later? You can also acquire that later. Garage to the north, a rectangular house of 8 x 12, open the living area to the south. Write down the necessary rooms in writing and give the list to your architects. Explain to him in the conversation your life as it is or as you plan it later with children and your hobbies and dreams. Whoever dreams of having a billiard room at 30 could have one. Whoever dreams of tailoring a lot at 30 might need a sewing room, which, if no longer needed, can be converted into a fitness room, to get closer to the dream figure. Nothing more. We can gladly discuss the architect’s draft here then.
