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.

Our documents clearly state in bold that after submitting the building permit / planning permission application, you are no longer allowed to move the sanitary fixtures. I think they would really freak out if I bring this up now. But honestly, the sink is really poorly positioned there.

Unbelievable bureaucracy. It’s the first time I’ve heard of something like this. I always thought it was about basic things like dimensions, clearances, and the exterior design...

No, I believe the authorities don’t really mind. It’s just that the construction company eventually doesn’t want to make any more changes.

Oh, okay. Sorry. I didn't mean to criticize the authorities.
For example, in our case, the layout of the bathroom was only decided during the shell construction phase, as were the partition walls and the heights of the shelves.

I also consider the privacy panel unnecessary.

What I would check again, however, is the closet space... that really seems to be very little closet space — right?

What I would double-check, though, is the closet space... it really seems like very little closet space – right?
Really? 3 meters (10 feet) of closet wrapping around the corner and about 2 meters (6.5 feet) more along the wall to the bathroom, where for example two tall dressers could fit. Do you think that will be too little? Would a different layout be better?

Yes, of course, no more "musical chairs." But shifting the sink by 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches) shouldn’t turn you into lifelong enemies.
