Hello,

we have purchased a building plot with a slight slope. The plot measures 23x23 meters (75x75 feet) and has a height difference of 3 meters (10 feet) from the street to the boundary point.

We do not want a basement but a ground-level terrace instead.
Now we are considering having living spaces in the lower level.

The idea would be to have the living room/kitchen, etc. downstairs and the bedrooms on the ground floor.

Has anyone implemented this and can share their experience, possibly with pictures?

That may be true. But I’m amazed how often I read here from some crank that when the price is nearly double one hundred and fifty gold coins per square meter, there are six hundred applicants for forty plots.

I see it the same way. Bad Mergentheim isn’t exactly the ugliest place, and “properly out of the way” means something different. So I consider the relaxed purchase of a plot to be quite fortunate.

That means a single-story building.
Just to understand, what do you mean by single-story in this situation? Something like a detached single-family house with sloping ceilings on the upper floor, but partially built into a hillside on one side? I rather doubt it 😉

Oh, now that you mention it: I wonder if the similarity in names between the two original posters is just a coincidence? https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundrissplanung-efh-150qm-tipps-zur-verbesserung.29969/

As can be seen from the zoning plan, which I was not allowed to link, the eaves height downhill is 3.80 m (12.5 ft).
We definitely do not want sloping ceilings. From the street, it should look like a bungalow. Sleeping areas on the ground floor, living areas in the basement.

It is a coincidence.
It is a common German first/last name. In my case, it is the last name.
And the year of birth is different as well.

Have you already marked the desired location of the house on the plan? Your zoning plan is missing. Please upload a site plan with the relevant details. No links, please.

Are there regulations regarding garages or carports?
