Hello everyone,
I have been in the planning phase for some time now.
I created the floor plan myself based on model homes.
To get a professional opinion, I have already talked to a construction company.
The designer initially drew a plan that I didn’t like. At the next meeting, I showed him my proposal, which he liked quite a bit. We discussed some revisions, and that became the first draft.
I would appreciate any criticism or suggestions and look forward to your opinions.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: ~1000 m2 (not yet officially measured)
Slope: average incline 7 degrees (approx. 1.5m (5 feet) height over 10m (33 feet) length)
Floor area ratio: 2
Roof style: hip roof
Further restrictions regarding the development plan are unknown
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: bungalow with basement and hip roof
Basement, floors: basement + 1 floor
Number of occupants, age: 2 people (29 & 34)
Rooms needed in basement: garage (2 parking spaces), office, entrance area + wardrobe, laundry room (washing machine, toilet, possibly a small shower), utility room & storage
Rooms needed on upper floor: kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom + walk-in closet, children’s room, office & guest room
Office: family use or home office: both family use + home office (both work from home, so 2 offices needed)
Overnight guests per year: approx. 4 times
Open or enclosed layout: rather enclosed; kitchen open to dining table
Conservative or modern style: rather modern preferred
Open kitchen, cooking island: open kitchen + cooking island
Number of dining seats: a dining table for 8 people should fit
Fireplace: not required
Music/sound system wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: garage, carport possibly later
Vegetable garden, greenhouse: no
Other wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons why certain things are wanted or not:
We prefer the entrance in the basement since we travel by car about 90% of the time and therefore don’t need a door upstairs.
In the kitchen, we considered having a window as the backsplash (between the countertop and upper cabinets), as we really liked it in a model home. However, it somewhat disrupts the exterior appearance. We are still undecided whether this added value is worth it.
House Design
Who designed it: DIY
What do you like most? Why? We really liked the somewhat separated living room in a model home because it feels cozy. So, we incorporated it into our plan.
What do you dislike? Why? The arrangement of the windows from the outside
Estimated cost according to designer: For the ground floor: approximately 250,000 for the performance stage (shell + roof and windows), ready for interior finishing, which will be done by ourselves. Electrical, plumbing, and screed will be contracted separately.
Basement: no estimates yet
Personal price limit for the house, including fixtures: 600,000
Preferred heating system: geothermal heat with horizontal collectors
If you have to give up something, which details/extensions
- can you give up: guest room (could possibly be combined with an office)
- can you not give up: 2 offices for home office, with my office preferably being in the basement
Why is the design as it is now? For example
We first included all our wishes in this plan to get initial cost estimates.
Looking forward to your opinions.
Best regards from Austria

Is the land sloping towards the NW? Yes, exactly.

Is it mandatory in Austria to integrate the garage into the house? Not as far as I know. I integrated the garage into the house because I need the basement anyway to level out the slope so that the terrace is at ground level.
In theory, I could build a flat roof with a terrace on top of the garage. But I’m a bit hesitant about the flat roof.
Whether a 9 m (30 feet) span is possible depends on the structural engineering. In our garage, it worked; for the house, in the basement level (UG), I was told that for the ground floor (EG) we needed support beams for spans well under 9 m (30 feet).
The budget does not match the house. My advice is to find someone who plans both the basement and ground floor together, including execution. When I think about how often the architect was at our construction site, sometimes together with the builder and structural engineer – never separately.
Don’t underestimate the outdoor landscaping. As you have planned it, you will need a six-figure sum for excavation, removal, and filling.

Don’t underestimate the landscaping. As you have it drawn, you will need a six-figure amount for excavation, removal, and filling. A 9 m (30 ft) span is possible, but it requires a supporting beam and a lot of reinforcing steel. That doesn’t fit the budget.
If you plan with the slope, it can be done within five figures.
I would consider a hybrid here: concrete basement, ground floor, and a wooden roof.

I was thinking of a hybrid here: basement in concrete, ground floor and roof in wood. That is also the plan. My parents have created slopes everywhere and do not need any retaining walls.
