Dear fellow contributors,
I’m sharing our first attempt at the floor plan. Unfortunately, I can’t fill out the list because copying it over on my phone doesn’t work properly, sorry.
Key data:
5 children between 0 and 11 years old
2 adults in their mid-thirties
Plot of about 900 sqm (9700 sq ft), facing north
Building window edge on the street side: 17.35 m (57 ft)
Sloped site; within the building window, the ground rises about 2 m (7 ft) over 10 m (33 ft) from front to back
We want 5 small children’s bedrooms, a slightly larger office for working from home, a master bedroom, three showers, three toilets, a bathtub, and access to the garden through the living room on the upper floor. One wall in the children’s rooms should be removable later.
The attic is walkable.
We are allowed to build 2 full stories, with a ridge height of about 12 m (39 ft) and an eave height of 11.6 m (38 ft).
We would prefer a hip roof.
The current drawing is 9.5 by 11 m (31 by 36 ft), but we would like to have around 195 to 205 sqm (2100 to 2200 sq ft) of living space later; garage or storage will be added.
The back wall of the house is embedded up to about 2 m (7 ft) into the slope.
I will try to attach a rough overview of the plot.

or the age of the children could play a role. Children between 0 and 11 years old. So, both those who might come running in at night because they believe there are ghosts under their bed, and those who in a few years will probably find parental "control" embarrassing.

Oh, no problem, I’m happy to provide a more detailed explanation. And 11ant is also right with their description.
So yes, the children are 0, 3, 5, 9, and 11 years old. Having a practice room might be nice later on, but it doesn’t need a lot of space. You can easily section off part of the basement (or cellar). What’s needed: a therapy room for individual sessions, a slightly larger one for small groups (you could combine two rooms for this), a waiting room/hallway, and a bathroom. Fortunately, I only need a table, chairs, toys, and perhaps a classic sofa as furnishings [emoji28]. That doesn’t take up much space.
I’ll also share the latest current floor plan from the general contractor. It’s actually turned out quite well.
Cooking: I really enjoy cooking but need to have a good overview of everything while doing it. So, a dining table nearby for homework, a piano for accompanying practice, a view into the garden, and so on.

Oh dear, if I may quote Samson here. Even though the "side" dimension lines are missing, it’s already clear that this won’t work as is.
Even with a psychologist in the house, you simply cannot realistically build children’s rooms that are barely wider than a bed.
The door right behind the stair exit is also problematic. What is he planning to build the 30 cm (12 inches) thick wall from — monolithically?

Hmm. We currently have similarly sized rooms for the children and like the size. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough rooms. So, I think it’s possible. And if the total area can’t exceed 200m² (2,150 sq ft) due to the budget, then you have to save some square meters somewhere. Do you have any constructive advice?
I will consider Yvonne’s suggestion to reduce the hallway space. But I still need to think about that a bit more.
The exterior dimensions are now 11 by 10.75m (36 by 35 feet). Pretty close already.
However, I find the layout of child’s room 4 quite awkward, but hopefully, it’s possible to shift the bathroom a bit or something else. Maybe make the kitchen slightly narrower and have the kitchen cabinets run all around without a counter? What do you think?
