Is the entrance meant seriously? I had thought of it more as a patio door, as a side entrance or for smokers.
How is it supposed to work, key in the lock, open the door and then take a step forward and jump onto the sofa? What about the wet clothes, the dirty shoes – everything dripping onto and dirtying the parquet or carpet floor? I take off my jacket in the kitchen.
And then: the jacket ends up on the kitchen counter and the shoes smell in the kitchen?
Admit it, something like that isn’t practical. Somehow it might work for students and stuff, but: it could be done differently! There is already a mini hall with a wardrobe (the AR), so it should be used as such and from there the granny flat should be accessed.
