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.
