Owners need to consider this when adding to their property

Dusseldorf When life circumstances and family relationships change, the demands on home ownership change: the newly founded patchwork family needs two additional rooms. The grandparents or adult children and grandchildren would like to move into the house. An elderly resident needs a caregiver close at hand. Many existing single-family homes can be adapted in such cases.

However, the expansion of reserves in the roof or in the basement is usually not enough. If additional living space or even an independent living unit is required, the extension of the building by adding a floor or an extension is often a good option. Owners of free-standing buildings have a particularly large amount of creative freedom.
