ᐅ Floor plan design for a single-family house on a hillside, with a separate apartment and a double garage

From the outside, it looks like a small rental building. At least from the garden side... the question you need to ask yourselves is: do you want to sit on the terrace next to such a high outer wall and enjoy life? It wouldn’t be for me!
However, I am looking for the terrace but only find a small roof terrace on the side? What is that standing on? (Site/plot plan is missing to assess this properly.)
But life doesn’t take place on a paved terrace, rather on the lawn area (1200sqm (12917 sqft)?) How will the kids be supervised there?
Are you really building a single-family house without direct access to the garden, or will this be assigned to the practice?
Regarding the practice: the feeling in a long but very narrow room is not what you want—not even for a practice. Especially as a naturopath, you should have considered external factors that negatively affect people.
Interior of the house: apartment-like character.

I’m just reading this now:

The garden access from the practice is almost impossible to arrange differently due to the slope.
The garden should also be accessible from the terrace. (Small path or similar).

Are you building a practice with living space for yourselves, or are you building a home with an option for a practice?
I would definitely prefer the latter. “Impossible” doesn’t exist! Even here: if you don’t put the double garage so much in the foreground (size) and plan a single-family home with practice space, I would get a different impression. Your design is quite unappealing from both inside and outside—the only positive is the practice area with lightweight partition walls, which has a great character, though mainly due to the garden access.
Does the building envelope not allow for anything else?
Honestly: if that’s the case, I would park the cars in front of the house and convert the current garage plan into the practice...

Budget: 260sqm (2800 sqft) is roughly €520,000 plus garage, calculated quite simply.

Practice or commercial spaces have different ceiling height requirements; in our case, the minimum is 2.5 meters (8 feet 2 inches). The customer restroom has already been mentioned.

A personal assessment of a floor plan can only be made if I understand what the people intend, what is important to them, and what is feasible. There are many possibilities, and everyone has a different perspective on this.

I mainly want to get feedback on the floor plan first. The budget is secondary for now.

These aspects are usually connected.
No one here wants to gather information like a puzzle. I would recommend filling out the standard questionnaire and especially describing your very specific needs in detail, otherwise the advice will likely be fragmented.
You are not only planning a residential building but a special combination.
The more information you provide, the better the recommendations in the forum can be...

Budget: 260 sqm (2800 sq ft) are estimated at €520,000 plus garage, quite a straightforward calculation.

The terrace is supported on soil, a retaining wall, and a column. See the basement floor plan.

Part of the site plan is shown in the ground floor plan. The street frontage should be 34 m (112 ft). Garage on the boundary? However, the dashed-dotted line could also be the building envelope/planning boundary?

Budget: I think the living area is supposed to be reduced by 30 sqm (320 sq ft). Still, €520,000 is quite tight depending on the district in Bavaria.

No one here wants to gather information bit by bit like salami. I would recommend filling out the usual questionnaire and especially explaining your very individual needs in detail; otherwise, the result will likely be fragmented.

House Design
Who designed the plan:
- Sketch by clients – translated by planner

What do you particularly like? Why?
Arrangement of kitchen, dining, and living room in an L-shape.
Master bedroom in the upper floor with dressing room.
What do you not like? Why?
Upper floor: “third small child’s room” not necessarily needed since there is enough space.
How could this be implemented...

Cost estimate according to architect/planner for house only: 410,000€
Personal price limit for house including fittings: 320,000€ / less KfW subsidies for 2 living units each at 25,600€
Preferred heating technology: ground source heat pump (water-to-water)

If you had to do without, which details / expansions
- Could you do without: smaller rooms, garage roof cover
- Could not do without: direct connection to garage, granny flat

Why is the design the way it is now? E.g.
Standard plan by the designer? Own ideas, adapted to the plot
Which wishes were implemented by the planner?
See design

What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion?
Flexible and constructive
