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.

No offense, but that’s a typical question from someone with a humanities background. A pitched roof has sloping sides on all sides, so there is clearance around all exterior walls for anything that requires height. Heavy items would only be less supported in the center of a ceiling panel than elsewhere—but even that is not a big deal. Oh yes, that’s true. I actually meant a gable roof[emoji1]. Fortunately, I don’t have to make a living from this. That wouldn’t end well.

No, the answer remains that this is not necessarily cheaper or even required. At least not for structural reasons. For potentially more efficient supply and exhaust air routing, a special roof shape is also not necessary.

I remember an insulated attic ladder. That would probably cause technical issues if you want to replace it with a proper, full staircase, right?
Until now, the attic has only been used as storage for non-sensitive decorative items, sleds, winter jackets, and so on.
Is it possible to just place a heating unit there? Probably not, is it?

The attic needs to be insulated, that's correct. It has to be frost-free. Ask about the additional cost. However, it is certainly more affordable to insulate the attic and possibly finish it nicely later than to build a larger living area. The attic is there anyway.

The topic of the attic is still not finalized. I need to wait for the next appointment regarding that. But my husband feels uncomfortable with having heating in the attic.
I hope you don’t mind, but I redrew the plans. I think in the end we will show up at the architect’s office with a huge stack of plans [emoji23]
The wall thickness is not shown, but there is still some space on the left and right, and the current budget is based on an external dimension of about 11.35 by 11 meters (37.2 by 36 feet).
I find a lot of things look small. However, when I compare with floor plans from, for example, Danwood, many rooms have similar dimensions. So there are obviously others besides us who can’t manage 15sqm (160 sq ft) children’s rooms and bathrooms. The design has been optimally validated for our daily routine.
Therefore, I’m daring enough to post my draft. Feel free to critique it thoroughly.
For me, a home office (if at all) will only be relevant once the three children have moved out. Until then, I can stay with a close colleague. So, for now, that requirement is out of the picture and makes planning easier.
Edit:
Damn. I don’t think anything is really visible. I will try to take a better picture tomorrow.
