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.

You wouldn’t build a "market property" anyway because of your rather uncommon family situation today. So, a tiny resale advantage from KfW compared to the energy savings regulations shouldn’t matter to you. I would estimate that the extra cost compared to the subsidy already outweighs the benefit of KfW funding. Let the energy transition be the concern of DINKs; in return, you make a more practical contribution to the pension system.
So enjoy the additional 13cm (5 inches) in house width...
By the way, what is the roof shape and, if applicable, the ridge direction in the latest floor plans?

That's right. I’m afraid the resale value isn’t really great [emoji23]. But thanks to financial security, it’s not a problem. Hopefully, it won’t have to be sold during our lifetime. And after that, it will be fully paid off anyway.
Ridge direction. Hmm. The neighbor’s house is aligned parallel to the street, with the front facing south. We have the same development plan.
Roof: A hip roof would be nice.

Roof: A hipped roof would be nice I meant the specific latest draft; there I only see the floor plans. It doesn’t matter much downstairs, but on the upper floor/attic the position of the staircase depends on the roof type and ridge direction—so you have to decide on that. Which ridge direction is planned? It matters significantly for gable roofs, for hip roofs there is little difference, and for pyramid roofs there is basically none.
The staircase to the attic prompted this question.

I gave it a try myself.
The staircase is now a spiral staircase located in the middle of the house.
The parents’ bedroom is small but possibly sufficient. Unfortunately, there is only about 400 cm (13 feet) of closet space, and it’s a corner setup. On the other hand, there are two bathrooms on the living floor, so one can also be used by guests.
There is little general storage space, so the stairs to the attic continue somewhat steeper. From the knee wall height of 100 cm (39 inches) (22° roof pitch plus 50 cm (20 inches) knee wall) in the northern area, there will be shelving. Opposite the stairs, there is about 250 to 300 cm (8 to 10 feet) of closet space for seasonal items. Plenty of room for various other things. There is a skylight right next to the stairway so you won't always have to rely on artificial light to find things there.
The living area is now a bit more private. The sofa is arranged so that you can enjoy the nice view, which should be facing south (unless I remembered wrong). The window sill height on the south side could possibly be even lower. The TV is placed between the windows, so you can still watch without lowering blinds even during midday sun.
The piano is moved more towards the top of the plan, while the lower left corner is reserved for the Christmas tree.
A table with a long bench allows it to be easily extended for guests without needing to rotate it.
The side-by-side fridge is partly built-in on the right side of the plan but now opens in the “correct” direction, with the refrigeration section facing toward the kitchen work area. Still, the fridge is easily accessible from the dining table. Cooking takes place along the wall—ideally with an integrated ceiling extractor hood that vents to the north behind the paneling above. For prep work, there is a sink island, and if more room is needed, reduced-depth cabinets on the left side. There could also be a built-in coffee machine that’s easy to reach there.
In the entrance area there is a section of wardrobe for the current coats. Under the stairs is another cabinet and, opposite Bedroom 3, a shoe cabinet, for example. Slightly out of sight but still inside the heated space (no garage), the stroller could be stored under the stairs. That space can also be used to keep items needed for the next shopping trip (glass recycling, plastic bottles, etc.).
Here are some sections and a few views:
