The plot has already been purchased. In our area, the market currently offers almost nothing, so you have to be quick. We will definitely manage to get something done there. Regarding the budget, I already said that there isn't really one at the moment. Regardless of that, we want to have a rough plan according to our wishes, then we'll look at the costs. If it ends up being 700k, so be it.
Unfortunately, pushing the garage to the back is not possible - the development plan doesn't allow it. Putting the terrace on the side seems to be possible here as well, but it's not 100% certain yet. The staircase is an issue; we will definitely have it turn 90° at the bottom so that you don't walk directly toward the couch but rather in the direction of the "dance hall". That was really a great tip. It also makes the staircase a bit shorter and fits better. The teenager visits have to pass by us. We discussed it - it's intended that way ;-)
Potentially, we also still have the granny flat in the basement to house teenagers.
We had already considered Würfel's suggestion with the entrance facing the dining room, but came to the conclusion that we don't like that so much. The sightline when entering the room isn't so great then.
Otherwise, I'll browse through here a bit - unfortunately, I have a little time at the moment :(
Thanks for your tips!
