Hello everyone,
We are planning to build a new townhouse in the Homburg/Saar district.
We have been working with an independent architect for about six weeks and are slowly approaching the final stages of the planning, as the design meets our expectations except for the kitchen.
There is no zoning plan, so we need to align with the neighborhood.
All nearby houses have two full floors plus an attic.
The municipality was open to exceptions because behind our property there is a flat-roof bungalow, which is quite unusual for the area.
Zoning Plan / Restrictions
Homeowner Requirements
House Design
We would appreciate your feedback.
We are happy to answer any questions – don’t hesitate to ask.
The site plan is not fully up to date and is not oriented to the north – north is in the upper right corner.
Best regards
Kevin

That’s what architects are for. Real ones – meaning those with formal education and a genuine interest in the project.
Once again, a typical male plan: the main thing is that the garage is big enough and perfectly positioned. This reminds me of this one right away:
I don’t have a garage at all and I’m a man, but I do have a very large kitchen.
I’m definitely not an expert on building on a slope, but I (and others) believe I mentioned fairly early in this thread that the house as planned won’t work and that a different orientation should be considered.
Given the challenging conditions, I think an architect with experience in hillside construction is really needed.
I’m not even sure if a standard two-story house fits well on this plot. But to address the unfair criticism again—this thread isn’t just about complaining...
Have you considered a house built into the hillside? With a living basement level? (Not a cellar.) Maybe oriented differently, perhaps to the right side of the plot and possibly rotated by 90 degrees?
I’m not going to reread everything from the beginning, but for example, do you have the option of an access road from the north, meaning the right side of the plot?
I still think the problem isn’t the floor plan itself, but the overall concept doesn’t work for this site...
@Mottenhausen has already raised some solid points.
