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.

How would you solve the issue with the washbasin/partition wall/cramped toilet? The sanitary fixtures can’t be moved any further...
I would plan the bathroom door as a sliding door, which would slide into the wall on the bedroom side. This door would then be placed as low as possible according to the floor plan. That way, you could still gain the last few centimeters for the washbasin, etc.
At the moment, we have sizes ranging from 80 to 152 all mixed together. So, I’m not sorting anything out, just putting it away in the next wardrobe [emoji6]. But yes, eventually, they won’t grow at the same pace anymore, so my husband will have to run back and forth more often. But that can’t be changed now...
For now, I’m still storing the summer clothes in boxes on top of the wardrobe.

[A partition wall is for privacy! There are two of you... Your words: a retreat for the two of us. Any questions?] We actually just don’t want to see the toilet while brushing our teeth [emoji23]. So the current layout is rather unfortunate.
A sliding door is worth considering. Unfortunately, I don’t know what kind of pipe that is. However, a sliding door would also take up wall space in the bedroom, which would be a pity.
Here is a photo showing how far along the room planning is at the moment
