Hello everyone,
I would like to gather as many opinions and experiences as possible regarding my current floor plan. After all, building a house usually happens only once, so it needs to be right. What potential issues do you see in the design? Any kind of criticism or ideas are welcome.
The plot is quite complicated (see topography in the attachment):
The street/driveway is at 815.90 meters (2677 ft), the ground level ranges between approximately 809.xx and 810.xx meters (2654-2657 ft) --> about 6 meters (20 ft) height difference to the street and about 1 meter (3 ft) within the building site.
Therefore, the living floor is on the ground level, bedrooms, utility/technical room in the basement, and office/guest/cellar also in the basement. In the floor plan, guest and office rooms in the basement are swapped: the office is the larger room.
Development plan/restrictions
Building window, building line and boundary: flexible, current exceedances are not an issue
Roof type: flat roof, presumably according to K2
Style: Bauhaus, modern
Orientation: southeast, facing the valley
Client requirements
Number of occupants: 2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 baby
No fireplace
Audio/stereo setup: home theater in the living room, to be installed in a media wall along the 4.50-meter (15 ft) long wall.
House design
Estimated price according to architect/planner: 700,000-800,000 euros (excluding land)
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 900,000 euros
Preferred heating technology: certain: controlled residential ventilation, home theater, gas heating with solar, air conditioning on the ground floor. Under consideration: light bus system (Busch Free@Home)
Note: Attachments will follow as I currently do not have sufficient rights to upload them 🙁

At first glance, everything looks fine in my opinion. You should additionally budget at least 100,000 (currency) for furniture and fittings. When contracting directly, costs often exceed the planned budget by more than 10%. Therefore, I would recommend increasing the contingency buffer as a precaution.

I am suddenly reminded of this post https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundrissplanung-fuer-zfh-im-hang.24435/page-2#post-221704, which also features a combination of a steep hillside location and a heavily flawed collection of window placements. To me, this design looks like the work of a draftsman who mostly works in apartment building projects.
I don’t see any "Bauhaus style" here – that requires more than just a flat roof painted white and an arrangement of box-like volumes. This is more like a DIY-store style.
Is there actually any award-winning architectural project that this is attempting to replicate “with simple means”?

Thanks for the comment on the post. What do you find particularly problematic? The double casement windows? Alternatively... panoramic windows? Floor-to-ceiling windows?
@kaho674
Thanks for converting =)
I’m open to ideas on how to bring more light into the hallways.
The dark walk-in closet isn’t really an issue for me.
Note: On the lowest floor, there is rock on the right and bottom sides.
