Opinions on the single-family house with a granny flat floor plans

If it is necessary, then so be it. I just always find it a pity when too much area is paved for no reason, so that birds, worms, and insects no longer have a chance.

The roof offers many opportunities where insects can find their home. Eventually, greenery starts to grow, the roof overhang is also gladly used – that’s where the beetles feel comfortable :)

Cool idea. Best to leave it completely open right away. Then owls and swallows can also find a home right away. But we're digressing... ;)

The kitchen here is the reception hall. Everyone has to go through it. It is uninviting and very uncomfortable. That wouldn’t be my thing.

My fundamental problem, however, would be the waste of the roof area above the granny flat. The building is a huge clump and destroys garden space, although it wouldn’t be necessary. The study + utility room could easily be built upwards. The whole thing could be more compact without losing any square meters if the upper floor is used consistently.

The fact that the roof above the granny flat is not used is intentional. Of course, a staircase could have been installed to the granny flat and the roof fully developed. But since it is intended for the parents-in-law for old age, it was meant for everything to stay on the ground floor.

Yes, it’s true. The house takes up a lot of space. But there is still enough garden available. I also think that not every garden has to have a trampoline, a play tower, etc., etc. There are playgrounds for that.

1000 sqm for a single-family house is normal for you? The normal plots you get here are 500 sqm. We have the biggest in the entire development, 1050, and that’s in the countryside. If I drive 5 km further into the city, prices are 300 euros per sqm. I don’t like buying a plot with 2000 sqm there.

As of now, is there any indication what the treatment room is for?

I find the whole floor plan rather convoluted
Storage room that is not usable
Gallery is in a better location than the children's room with northeast orientation
Why have a dining table if the counter is supposed to serve as a makeshift family area. A nice large open-plan kitchen and a makeshift solution is not necessary

No direct connection between the living units

Also in the grandparents' area, again a long narrow hallway and utility room

Which storage room is not usable and why?
I've never really seen it as a disadvantage that a child's room faces northeast.
I just can’t quite imagine it right now, sure, you don't get direct sunlight in there. But with daylight, it is bright enough. Especially with a window that is 1.60 x 1.60 meters large.
The dining table is there to eat at when guests are over or when the children are older, possibly in the evening.

I don't like counters, that's why also the table height. The narrow table in the kitchen is there so that you can quickly have breakfast in the morning without having to clear everything into the living/dining room first.
What exactly do you mean by no direct connection between the living units?
Separate flat and main house? It was particularly important to me that these are separated and you can really only get into the houses via their entrances. There was talk, for example, of building a door from the utility room into the flat. But I was immediately against that :)

Of course, the parents are only supposed to live downstairs. But still, I would plan the space for the other family there. As mentioned, the study and utility room can comfortably go upstairs. This space will then be lost downstairs for you, and everything together will be more compact. It should also be a financial advantage, if that matters.

Yes, what can I say. None of our family's properties are under 1000m², and those are rather the small ones. But that doesn’t say much, because most of it is not building land.

if that's not building land, you can't really compare it :)
It is already the case that the children's rooms are included in the upper floor of the granny flat. if you were to take more of them, the entire roof shape would be different, and it wouldn't be cheaper either, because then you would again have to comply with certain building regulations of the development plan.
Bungalows, for example, like the granny flat is one, may be a maximum of 4 meters high and must then also have a 40° roof pitch, if I'm not mistaken.
