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.

toxicmolotof28 Jun 2017 21:17Two parking spaces arranged in a row for one housing unit are not a problem, but having a garage behind them (meaning three parking spaces in a row) is an issue. Or like playing Tetris.
So, here is the promised draft.
The windows can still be adjusted... There is a lot of flexibility with them. In the basement, the rear (southwest) area could later be separated. This would create a small two-room apartment. However, the practice room, bathroom, and one room would remain part of the common area... I found it difficult to create an optimal solution here, just a suggestion to consider. In the basement, the access to the bathroom has created a closet space, which is quite practical for small bedrooms.
Straight staircase: a straight staircase is known to take up a lot of space. Since the many rooms need to be accessed via a corridor, it would be a waste not to use this corridor space also for the staircase. I made sure that at the bottom and top of the plan, the rooms have a functional depth of more than 3 meters (10 feet).
The bedroom on the upper floor should now be sufficiently wide. At the end of the corridor, there is still space for a chest of drawers.
What I find important: the second staircase to the attic. I am not very skilled with cross-sections, but there should be some standing space.
Unfortunately, I was not able to place the kitchen on the south side. The room in the north offered itself well as a kitchen, and I don’t see any major disadvantage, since tomatoes and other vegetables tend to shrivel earlier in the south exposure anyway – there is enough light coming in... and if the children are outside in the garden anyway, they should have a short way to the fridge, rather than having to walk through the living room and disturb others.
The terrain will of course need adjustment – some soil removal on the side, a retaining wall on the right, and the terrace raised slightly at the back...

for a bit of food for thought, I found the optimal implementation quite difficult. This is sufficient as it is.
And there are plenty of variations compared to the original design, which makes it interesting to compare.
