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.

Really? A 3m (10 feet) closet around the corner and about 2m (6.5 feet) more on the wall next to the bathroom, where two tall dressers could fit. Do you think that would be too little? Would a different layout be better?

I think that's enough.

I think this should be enough. Of course, it depends on what else you want to put in there. We also pack, in a bit less space, for example, bed linens, carnival costumes, winter clothes including scarves, gloves, etc. (and we are prepared for all temperatures) and a lot of sports equipment. More space could be useful (some of the carnival items no longer fit inside).

Maybe you should swap the gorilla costumes for Adam and Eve ones.

I took some measurements. At the moment, we are using a wardrobe that is 1.45 meters (4 feet 9 inches) wide. So the space is sufficient for us.

Next week is finally the site plan meeting. If all goes well, the construction start date will be set then. Unfortunately, our earthworks contractor is in the hospital :-(. I hope it’s nothing serious. Otherwise, I feel sorry for him. We will also need to find a replacement on very short notice, which won’t be easy...

Before that, they may need to be officially notified of delay, see the discussion in another thread this week.
