With this sloped terrain, "no basement" would be too costly for me. At least I would omit the rigid axis between the house and the garage, which might allow a more economical adaptation to the site.

Then consider planning a spiral staircase right from the start. If you can do without a straight staircase anyway, take advantage of the space-saving benefits of other stair types from the beginning. This might also make that huge area under the bathroom usable.

A straight staircase would fit in the current design, so why should we change it? Are you referring to the "huge area under the bathroom" as the hallway downstairs?

Yes, you are definitely wasting a lot of space in the hallway downstairs. In general, spiral or curved staircases save space and are easier to plan than a straight staircase. I speak from painful experience...

But it is planned, isn’t it? 4.2m (14 feet) long and 1m (3 feet) wide, just as advertised here. We wanted a hallway that isn’t straight and with the individual rooms (guest toilet, office, and utility room) simply branching off from it. Instead, the wardrobe should be slightly around the corner and the doors hidden.
