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.

Hello @Arifas,
I would kindly ask you not to share the sketches I created in other public forums. I do not want my ideas to be discussed publicly without my knowledge or the chance to explain or respond. I put a lot of work into them but unfortunately cannot manage everything at once. Of course, I cannot forbid you from copying them. Anyway, I hope you understand. Thank you very much. YvonneHello dear Yvonne,
I would never have thought of doing that. I can somewhat appreciate how much effort you put into it, am very grateful, and will definitely not use the drawings elsewhere.

For the guests, I thought the children could use the downstairs bathroom, and the adults the upstairs bathroom.
First of all, I wish everyone a speedy recovery.
Best regards, YvonneThank you. Everyone is well again.I’m still thinking it over. A small guest bathroom would definitely be nice.
Right now, we’re also discussing whether having a kitchen facing the garden would be a good idea. I think we need to observe our daily routines for a few days...
Would it basically be possible to move the heating system to the attic? Would it be necessary to switch to a hip roof to position the heavy equipment near the exterior walls to avoid load issues? Or should the system be located in the basement instead?
By the way, we recently rented a house on vacation that had garden access through the kitchen. It was actually perfect for us! Short distances and a quiet living room without through traffic. I hadn’t imagined it that way, but now that’s exactly what we want.

No offense, but that’s a typical question from someone without a technical background. A hip roof has sloping sides on all edges, which means there is clearance from the exterior walls on every side for anything that requires height. Heavy equipment placed only in the middle of a ceiling bay would be less ideal than elsewhere—but it’s not a major issue.

Yes, it is possible. However, you still need a connection with short distances. I am not a fan of relocating to an attic, but if you build a fixed staircase (as I also suggested in my design so you can transfer your usable space or reserve there), there is no objection. Load-bearing walls are typically found near the center of the house, so structurally this should not be a problem. The structure will, of course, be calculated according to the specific requirements.
Best regards, Yvonne
