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.

On the right, I don’t see any space where the vacuum cleaner could go; on the left, it would probably be behind the door right in the way and would be a prime trip hazard. So, on the right, but about half a meter (20 inches) wider.If you looked more carefully, you would see the vacuum cleaner too. The mop and bucket are next to it at the very bottom, and above that are the potatoes.

What if you rotated the master bathroom and the pantry so that the partition wall runs horizontally instead of vertically? (In the last design) Then the pantry could have a door (sliding door?) in the middle, making it easier to enter and allowing for more practical storage, like in ypgs’ example.
That would be ideal for the pantry. I’m just worried that the bathroom would end up feeling like just a shower cubicle with a toilet inside. It’s already quite small, and then it would also be narrow, making the layout less practical. Right?A general question: do you think it makes sense to “buy” a bit more living space and extend the whole structure 50cm (20 inches) to the front or back? Or maybe add an extension like in ypgs’ suggestion? Budget-wise that might work out, but then we’d have to give up the fireplace... which would be a shame...

I always forget them in my drawing [emoji28]. And my husband didn’t show me how to change the vacuum cleaner bag either. Pff.Jokes aside: I think proper planning is really important in a tiny pantry. It would be a shame if you were missing exactly 5cm (2 inches) or so.

This gives you the advantages of a side-by-side fridge (ice dispenser and all-in-one convenience, etc.) but without having to bend down for vegetables and other items. You also get a wonderfully usable width for both the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Just try searching for it online.
