Slope: 2 m (6.5 ft)
Floor area ratio: 0.25
Floor space index: 0.3
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2

Homeowners’ Requirements
Number of occupants: 2, mid-30s
Office: home office

Open architecture
Modern construction style

House Design
Planner:
- Do-it-yourself; adapted by planner to the site
What do you particularly like? Basically everything needed is included; the sloping site makes it a bit more complex; driveway to garage is almost level as is the terrace; the view facing south is nice
What do you not like? Why? Upstairs bathroom is too small; would like walk-in shower and bathtub; widen the building by one meter (3 ft)?
Personal budget for the house, including fittings: 550,000
Preferred heating system: underfloor heating
Hello everyone,
We have a nice plot with a slight slope and want to build a new home. All rooms are basically included in the design, but we would appreciate other perspectives. The upstairs bathroom seems too small at the moment, and the layout feels unbalanced.

We already tried that – but then the garage becomes too small. A landing staircase needs about 3 x 2m (10 x 6.5 ft). It doesn’t really save space compared to two straight stairs (each about 3.5 m² (38 sq ft)), right? Then just make the house longer and narrower... but for that, you’d need the site plans and so on...

I understand, but then either no car fits in the garage anymore or the rooms on the upper floor no longer work. If anyone has an alternative suggestion on how to combine this, please let me know.Just theoretically: in your last drawing, you could place the staircase to the upper floor above the basement stairs if it turns halfway from the hallway. Or you could do it the other way around. It really depends on the layout of the upper floor, which I don’t have in mind right now...

On the upper floor, you can arrange the rooms differently.
