Hello everyone,
I would appreciate your feedback on the floor plans.
Development Plan / Restrictions:
· Plot size: 1,200 m² (18 m (59 inches) wide)
· Slope: south-facing hill, street to the north
· Site coverage ratio: 0.3
· Floor area ratio: 0.6
· Building envelope, building line, and boundary: see "enlarged building envelope" 12 x 14 m (39 x 46 feet)
· Edge development: garages
· Number of parking spaces: 3 required according to building authority
· Construction type: open building layout
· Building setback: 3 m (10 feet)
· Roof type: pitched roofs 15-30°, hipped roofs to be avoided, see regulations
· Orientation: ridge direction of the buildings parallel to each other
· Exterior design: see section 6 of the regulations
Homeowners’ Requirements
Preliminary: The homeowners (born 1982 male, 1988 female, and two children born 2014 female, 2016 male) want to live on two floors (basement and ground floor). A third children’s bedroom should also be included. The third floor (attic) should be accessible barrier-free.
· Style: Bauhaus (optionally exposed concrete)
· Roof design: large south-facing side (for solar panels, photovoltaics)
· Building type: two-family house
· Basement and floors: basement, ground floor, attic
· Number of occupants and ages as above: (2 + 3 in basement and ground floor, 2 + 1 in attic)
o Space requirements attic: 2 bedrooms, 1 flexible floor plan bathroom, open living/dining/kitchen area, utility room
o Space requirements ground floor: 1 master bedroom, walk-in closet, master bathroom, large open living/dining/kitchen area, wardrobe, storage room
o Space requirements basement: 3 children’s bedrooms, children’s bathroom, optional play corridor, boiler room, cellar, utility room
· Open or closed architecture: open
· Conservative or modern construction: modern
· Kitchen: open kitchen with island (at least on ground floor)
· Balcony, roof terrace: likely sensible on all three floors considering exposed concrete
· Parking spaces: carports if possible, which can later be converted into garages (initial cost saving)
· Heating/thermal technology: air-to-water heat pump (underfloor heating), optional photovoltaics
· Windows: large window areas on the south side, optionally wide, low windows above the kitchen worktop on the ground floor
· Energy efficiency: KfW 55 standard
· High sound insulation (especially for the ceiling of the attic, separate residential unit)

A transom window or clerestory is not necessarily limited to exterior walls.

One can only hope that pushing it back a bit will somewhat reduce the issue. Sort of. In principle yes—but as soon as you look at it from a steep enough angle to notice the depth offset, you also see how it interacts with one of the completely mismatched sides :-(

Roughly, 42 degrees over 13m (43 feet) is just under 12m (39 feet) of slope. Is that correct?? Ninety percent or 11.7 meters (38 feet). Let’s hope 42° is meant, that would be about 23% or 3 meters (10 feet) ...

Ninety percent or eleven meters seventy. Hopefully, 42° is meant, which would be just under 23% or three meters ...Huh? I might be mistaken, but if I tilt something 45° from the horizontal toward vertical, the resulting slope rises or falls exactly 1 meter over a 1 meter horizontal distance. That makes 100% slope for me. So 42° is therefore over 90%, and I sure hope the property doesn’t look like that?
A 23% gradient would be about 10.5°. With that, at least I get 3 meters.
Where is my error in thinking?

No, my mistake. I would actually extend that clerestory all the way down. It brings a lot more light and also creates interest while showering. Especially when guests come over.

Oh crap... the phone rang while I was typing on the calculator. Multitasking mess.
