Hello,
we are currently at the beginning of our planning phase.
The "problem" with our plot is the slight slope and the northern “tip,” which is hardly usable in a practical way. Due to lack of alternatives, we would still choose this plot and are now exploring what is possible. A preliminary design is already available—see attachment.
The garage would be set a bit lower due to the grading. Here I see the issue whether the office might be too dark because of the skylight?
Our alternative would be the Bungalow 110 from Town & Country with an open kitchen.
For a few days we have been considering whether a single-family house would be more sensible because then the windows in the upper area would be unobstructed.
My aim is to gather some “new” ideas on how best to deal with the lowered area.
So far, the plan is to move the garages as far north as possible and build the house attached to them.

That’s correct, you probably wouldn’t have a view, which is why the idea was to place the office elsewhere. That’s how I came across the Town & Country design, since on that side it wouldn’t be such an issue.
We are still very early in the process and this was just a first draft, so nothing we are fixed on.
As I mentioned earlier, I also started wondering whether a single-family house on this plot might make more sense, since the lighting issue for the upper rooms would then be resolved.

Not really.
The slope runs from north to south. Estimated around 2 meters (6.5 feet)... but we also know that many have already misjudged this, usually underestimating the elevation difference.
If two-story construction is planned for the south side, I could imagine a more west-facing orientation. But, as mentioned, height reference points from the property are important. And the idea is just a suggestion of something that might still be possible. Stay relaxed.

I was just thinking about whether it would be possible to place the office at the front, then have the cloakroom and WC next to it, followed by the utility room. But that wouldn’t be allowed here in Lower Saxony, for example, because you are not permitted to build over pipes. How is it in your area?
In MN, with an open kitchen, you could also swap the guest room and kitchen.
Basically, I find the two corridor axes too dominant in their narrowness. They don’t add any living value, they are just circulation space, and at 110 sqm (1184 sq ft) that’s too much area in my opinion.
With two people, everything could be planned a bit more spaciously. Mottenhausen schrieb:
With my Galaxy S8, I was able to verify the surveyor’s site plan with a height accuracy of 10cm (4 inches). Too bad! If you had mentioned that earlier, I could have saved the $5,000 on my new digital level.

I can't find a site plan with elevation points right now. What about the zoning plan? Often zoning plans include existing heights, sometimes also planned heights, and we can check if this statement

The zoning plan basically imposes no restrictions holds true.
