Hello everyone,
Attached is our floor plan, on which the detailed construction plan will be based in the coming days. We would appreciate any constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: approximately 850m² (9,150 sq ft)
Slope: yes, see terrain elevation image
Site coverage ratio: 0.3
Floor area ratio: 0.6
Edge development: yes
Number of parking spaces: 1.25
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: gable roof - visible roof truss
Roof pitch: 15-30 degrees
Architectural style: family house, country house
Orientation: north-south (planned)
Maximum cut on plot: 0.75m (2.5 ft)
Maximum fill on plot: 0.75m (2.5 ft)
Knee wall height:
Valley side: permitted up to 0.50m (20 inches) measured from top of raw ceiling to top of purlin;
Hill side: permitted up to 0.75m (30 inches), measured from top of raw ceiling to top of purlin.
Additional Specifications
Basement, floors: yes, 2
Number of occupants, ages: 4 (3, 6, 39, 41)
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor:
Office: home office
Garage, carport: garage
Guest bedrooms: many
Open or closed architecture: open (living area)
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes
Number of dining seats: 8 (one central dining table)
Fireplace: yes
House Design
Designer: self-designed
What do you particularly like? Living area
What do you not like? The slope is somehow not being utilized, but we can’t think of any ideas
Preferred heating technology: gas condensing boiler seems appropriate since gas is available, but not yet finalized
Other Notes:

Other Notes:
- Parcel 4 in the site plan is ours
- The 2m (6.5 ft) line is not yet drawn, as the roof pitch has not been definitively determined
- Windows etc., especially on the upper floor, are also not yet 100% fixed; we would appreciate any tips
- North is at the top
- We have a slight (?) slope (from 511.65m (1,681 ft) in the southeast to 507.86m (1,666 ft) in the northwest), but we don’t know how to use it positively… perhaps someone has a good idea so we can take advantage of it
- The kitchen island is shown as 60cm (24 inches) in the plan, but will actually be 1.10m (43 inches) wide – hence the space between the chairs and the kitchen island

Ok, thanks for the hint. I'll bring it up again today. It shouldn't be a problem at this stage; we can still easily change the length and width.

All the steps you have planned or at some point considered do not match the floor plan.
I think before planning the kitchen, the house itself should first be designed according to what is permitted.
Also, I don’t understand your comments about the roof bearing if the upper floor is intended to be a full story.
I recreated this somewhat in a house planning software.
You are only allowed to cut or raise the existing terrain by a maximum of 75 cm (30 inches).

Mike1234567890128 Jul 2016 09:24What do the "pencil numbers" in the elevation plan actually mean? Here is the surveyor's answer:
...these are just the reference measurements I used during surveying.
Only the blue numbers matter (elevation values in meters above mean sea level).
The red numbers indicate the distances between the individual measurement points.

All the steps you planned or considered earlier don’t fit the floor plan.Well, as I said, I don’t have a good solution at the moment. That’s why I’m asking for input and ideas.I think the house should be planned first according to what is permitted before designing the kitchen.
Also, I don’t understand your comments about the roof support if the upper floor is supposed to be a full storey.Well, we have to move forward somehow. I believe involving a kitchen planner isn’t a bad idea and not too early.Otherwise:
I’m not an expert, but two full storeys are allowed. The question is whether we also have to.
We would like a covered outdoor seating area, and it would be inconvenient if the roof floated 5 m (16 feet) above it.
So my approach would be to lower the roof as far as it makes sense and is permitted.
This issue is still unresolved but hopefully will be clarified today.
I modeled this in the home design software.
You are only allowed to cut or raise existing ground by a maximum of 75 cm (30 inches).Yes… that’s a problem, I know…Thank you very much for your efforts!!
I’ll take a closer look shortly.

Mike1234567890128 Jul 2016 09:43Here is the floor plan fitted into the plot (draft only, not final). It extends further to the south, but unfortunately got cut off.
How do you arrive at the 2m (6.5 feet) setback on the left side of the plan? Isn’t the requirement either 0 or 3m (10 feet)?
On the right side of the plan, there is a 3m (10 feet) distance from the wall, but with the roof overhang, it could be even more. The terrain is already about 100cm (40 inches) higher 5m (16 feet) away from the street and continues to rise. This will make it difficult to have a driveway since the garden exit is supposed to be level with the ground—right? At that point, the terrain is even approximately 180 to 200cm (70 to 79 inches) higher than at the front of the street.
What is the general planning approach here? I would consider hiring an architect to be VERY advisable, an architect—not just a planner from any construction company.
