Dear fellow contributors,
I’m sharing our first attempt at the floor plan. Unfortunately, I can’t fill out the list because copying it over on my phone doesn’t work properly, sorry.
Key data:
5 children between 0 and 11 years old
2 adults in their mid-thirties
Plot of about 900 sqm (9700 sq ft), facing north
Building window edge on the street side: 17.35 m (57 ft)
Sloped site; within the building window, the ground rises about 2 m (7 ft) over 10 m (33 ft) from front to back
We want 5 small children’s bedrooms, a slightly larger office for working from home, a master bedroom, three showers, three toilets, a bathtub, and access to the garden through the living room on the upper floor. One wall in the children’s rooms should be removable later.
The attic is walkable.
We are allowed to build 2 full stories, with a ridge height of about 12 m (39 ft) and an eave height of 11.6 m (38 ft).
We would prefer a hip roof.
The current drawing is 9.5 by 11 m (31 by 36 ft), but we would like to have around 195 to 205 sqm (2100 to 2200 sq ft) of living space later; garage or storage will be added.
The back wall of the house is embedded up to about 2 m (7 ft) into the slope.
I will try to attach a rough overview of the plot.

But please feel free to keep giving constructive criticism. I believe this reduces the risk of missing something.
I will simply bring everything to the architect appointment: the questions, issues, possible floor plans. I hope they can provide some advice. And yes, I will also discuss the 1.5 stories plus the finished basement again.

Why not 10 to 12 square meters per person? That should be enough to start with.
In the bedroom, I would actually move the beds apart, otherwise there will be even more, and then it gets tight... Karsten
[emoji23] Oh, it also works pretty well without a bed [emoji85] [emoji23]
We love our children, and we are in our early to mid-30s. Another child could still fit in somewhere. I guess we’re just different in that way...
Regarding the question about the planned wall materials: for the floor plan, 30cm (12 inches) Ytong blocks are planned. So, aerated concrete. However, since we want KFW 55 standard, the walls would be about 36cm (14 inches) thick in layers. But we’re not entirely sure about that yet...
11ant, we have only one girl. She will soon be 3 years old. She is going to have the girl’s room on the upper floor next to the shower bathroom. At first, she will share it with child number 5. Our children don’t like sleeping alone. And actually, the little ones usually prefer sleeping with their parents anyway, so the master bedroom is planned to be large enough to ensure that no one feels scared alone. Children tend to need closeness and protection for quite a long time, and we can accommodate that well in the design [emoji23]. When they grow out of that phase, we want to give each child their own small personal space. That should be enough.
