Hello house building community!
Wishing you all a nice Easter Monday.

About us: We are a young couple and own a plot of land. We plan to build a house without a basement.
It will be a shell house (shell construction). We are now facing the first challenges in the planning stage.
The plot has a slight slope.
Since every hillside construction is unique, we admittedly haven’t checked the search function for long.
Now we hope to get some suggestions or experiences from this forum. We have two proposals.
So far, the architect hasn’t been able to offer many suggestions except that the garage should be on the left side.
However, having the garage on the right makes more sense for our driveway and usage.
Because if the garage is placed on the right, close to the boundary, the height limit of 3m (10 feet) must be observed there.
We have been going back and forth on this for days.

What do you house builders think about this?
For some reason, I can’t seem to upload photos.
I’ll try again shortly.
But I wanted to send this first before it disappears. 😀

The property.
The 83 is the street number.
238.40 are retaining stones from the kind neighbor. These are 60cm (24 inches) deep and run along the entire property.
The third picture from the left shows an example where we have a separate exit from the utility room.

Thanks in advance!

Is the site plan oriented to north?

Where is north? At the top?

Is there a floor plan?

Please draw the house on the site plan.

A sketch for reference.
N stands for North.
This is roughly our floor plan.
The house can also be set further back.
Let’s see who has experience with something like this.
Thank you.
