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.

No, that’s exactly right... just imagine you’re standing in the shower... you want to get out again, after all. And, as I said, I find it very practical when a shower door opens inward. It always annoys me when I come across a shower where the door only opens outward. Then you always have water outside the shower.

Ah, that looks better. How wide is your shower? We have pivot doors in the guest bathroom, but double-winged. I was skeptical at first, but they work well and are completely watertight.
One could consider making the top glass panel a full wall. This would allow you to build a recessed shelf inside for shower gel and other items, and on the outside, install a towel radiator or at least hooks for large towels. The door and partition to the bathtub could then be made of glass.
