What to do if the children have grown up but want to stay at the parents house. There are the once who rebuild the house or decide to build another storey. A third option is to build a new house next to the old one; a so called ?Auszugshaus?. In the Austrian countryside this is a traditional way to deal with the change of generation.  The younger generation stays in the old family home whereas the parents move into a smaller house. And that is what this family chose to do. A wooden pavillon was placed next to the old family home.
