Hello,

Has anyone here built a house without a basement on a slope? I would appreciate some pictures to get a better idea. We have an elevation difference of about 5 m (16 feet) from the street to the property boundary, which is approximately 25 m (82 feet) away, and the finished floor level (FFL) is planned to be 1.66 m (5.4 feet) above the street, with the garage 0.5 m (1.6 feet) lower.

Well, who actually has a 36sqm (388 sq ft) living room?

Here, 54sqm (581 sq ft)

Garage 49sqm (527 sq ft)

The dining table arrangement doesn’t work like this. No one will want to sit there. It’s too cramped, with a window right behind on one side and the staircase on the other. At least 1.5 m (5 feet) of additional width is needed for comfortable movement.

I find the living room furniture arrangement unrealistic for a family. Who would sit on a two-seater sofa in front of such a large media wall? I would suggest furnishing the plan with a sectional sofa instead.

Yes, the rooms upstairs are definitely a bit too large, especially the master bedroom; something definitely needs to be done there. Also, the dining table looks really cramped in, which I don’t like either.

And a silly question, how old are the children? In the ground floor layout, there is no room that allows for playing or roughhousing. Small children – up to about 5 or 6 years old – prefer to play close to their parents rather than alone in the children's room. Regularly, 6-8 sq m (65-86 sq ft) are taken up with toys such as train sets, race tracks, or building blocks.
