Why is the design as it is now? For example:
A mix of an off-the-shelf plan and my own requirements.
Basically it is fine, maybe a bit smaller. The staircase is intended to be accessible by a lift at some point.
Due to the given topography, other house placements are not possible.

The budget should be sufficient.
Regarding the stairlift, I’m currently installing one. Don’t forget that you need a parking position at the top and bottom. This is difficult to arrange in front of a window or the main entrance door.
Maybe consider adding a basement under the carport. You already have two walls there.
@kati1337 is also building on a slope like this, just a bit larger.

Hello, what I am missing are fresh ideas. Is there any alternative within the given requirements? I can live with the design, but is it good? It includes everything I need, but can it be improved? Maybe placing the children's room downstairs and the utility room upstairs?
I actually find the design quite well suited for the house size.
Where you have the retaining wall for the carport, we built a basement room. It’s just one more wall, so to speak, but it will definitely cost significantly more.
The utility room seems too small to me. With the washer and dryer stacked, there really isn’t much space left for shelves or anything else. Even just putting up an indoor drying rack when it rains gets tight. Unless everything goes in the dryer, then it might work. But overall, I think the laundry area is a bit underestimated here. I probably have an excessive amount of related stuff, but I think most people want some space to sort laundry.
