Hello everyone,
The floor plan was entirely designed by me. Unfortunately, the construction company does not have a qualified architect, so I would like to have it reviewed here:
Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size 1644m2 (1,7697 sq yd)
Slope yes (6m (20 ft) height difference bottom/top, 1.5m (5 ft) right/left)
Site coverage ratio 0.4
Floor area ratio 0.8
Building envelope, building line, and boundary lines cannot be followed, otherwise construction is not possible
Edge development
Number of parking spaces
Maximum number of floors 2
Roof shape 42-46
Style
Orientation
Maximum height/limits
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type bungalow
Basement, floors no basement, 1 level
Number of occupants, age 2 persons, 46/55 years
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor 130m2 (1,399 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office? Office later room for caregiver as no children, therefore opposite guest WC with shower for caregiver if needed
Annual overnight guests few
Open or closed architecture closed
Conservative or modern construction modern
Open kitchen, cooking island no
Number of dining seats 4-6
Fireplace wood stove
Music/stereo wall no
Balcony, roof terrace terrace
Garage, carport garage with storage room
Utility garden, greenhouse none
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why certain features are included or excluded Single level, already prepared for accessibility
House Design
Designed by: Do it yourself
What do you especially like? Why? One level, age-appropriate
What don’t you like? Why? Huge hallway
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: 455,000 including paving and terrace
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings:
Preferred heating system: no choice, therefore air heat pump
If you have to give up something, which details/extensions
- can you give up: area if better planning is possible
- cannot give up: bungalow, garage access, pantry
Why is the design the way it is now? For example:
The basis was a design from the construction company. Revised with orientation of living spaces etc., it came to this result

Unfortunately, the construction company does not have a competent architect. Well, surely their expertise is at least somewhat more comprehensive than yours?

Building window, building line, and boundary cannot be met, otherwise the plot is not developable. Then there will be no building permit / planning permission. Could you please show the building window / building line / building boundary – whichever applies? And by the way: are complete details, punctuation, or explanations possible but just not provided?

Slope yes (6m (20 ft) height difference bottom/top, 1.5m (5 ft) right/left) I don’t see a hillside house here. I can’t see any slope either. Do you have a height contour plan?

Roof shape 42–46 Degrees? Then your bungalow is not permitted as is.

What don’t you like? Why? Huge corridor. Then it clearly needs to go—the corridor is almost 11 meters (36 ft) long. How does something like that even come about? By lining up rooms, right? So if you don’t like the design (the corridor is indeed very dominant and cannot be overlooked), what exactly do you want from the forum?

Therefore, opposite a guest WC with shower for a possible caregiver. A guest WC cannot realistically fit a shower, toilet, and a sufficiently large washbasin all together.
BILA1979 schrieb:
Already being prepared for accessibility. That is not the case either. The toilet and shower in the bathroom are not accessible. Also, this is a house with long distances and no space for necessary turning or maneuvering areas where they should be. Not even a wardrobe in the niche is possible.
I would suggest hiring an architect experienced in hillside properties. If they come up with a smart, approval-ready design, you can then present it here for discussion.

Office later a caregiver’s room since there are no children, therefore opposite the guest bathroom with shower for possible caregiver Oh dear, ouch. It starts with an independent architect. A construction company shouldn’t be involved at this early planning stage at all. The description of the terrain sounds like a clear contraindication for a house without a basement. At around fifty, already “unlearning” how to climb stairs is a fast track toward needing care. How does one even come up with the idea to orient a Google Earth screenshot to the south?

Attached is an excerpt from the development plan. Instead of the usual line being drawn along the street, it was drawn across both plots. As a result, the right plot is only 50% buildable. This puts me at a disadvantage, so I am hoping for approval despite not complying with the building line. The representation of the two houses along the dashed proposed plot boundary is also interesting. The actual boundary is the solid line. I own both plots, by the way. And yes, an objection should have been filed, but unfortunately no one in my family did. Therefore, I would need to stay about 8-12 m (26-39 feet) back from the street and build a retaining wall of about 5 m (16 feet). If the building permit is denied, I would not build but would seek an amendment to the development plan, which would certainly take a lot of time.
I had hoped to avoid construction mistakes in advance by consulting this forum.
I want to avoid stairs primarily because of a family history of lung diseases such as fibrosis, COPD, etc., which eventually lead to the need for oxygen therapy and limited mobility. The diagnosis in my family typically appeared around the age of 50.

A bungalow is not automatically accessible for people with disabilities. The bathroom is not functional. Turning circles are not observed.
With zero-barrier design, you get example floor plans and guidance on what to pay attention to.
Stairs become too much very quickly with fibrosis, and dragging the air hose down the stairs sounds like a recipe for broken bones. It’s easy to trip over such a hose.

This puts me at a disadvantage, so I am hoping for approval despite not complying with the building line. The depiction of the two houses along the dashed proposed property boundary is also interesting. The actual boundary is the continuous line. I own both properties, just to clarify. And yes, a formal objection should have been filed, but unfortunately no one in my family did so. Therefore, I would have to stay about 8–12 m (26–39 feet) away from the street and build a retaining wall about 5 m (16 feet) high. If the building application is rejected, I would not proceed with construction but would seek a change to the development plan, which would certainly take a lot of time. You are completely misunderstanding this. The building limit / building envelope (shown in blue in colored plans) is the dashed line surrounding the houses and garages. Since you own both parcels, the proposed new boundary does not concern you; however, you would need to have both parcels merged. Your assumption that you must leave the area of the eastern example house-garage group free or apply for a waiver to build on that part is entirely incorrect. There is no need for you to challenge the development plan at all.
