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.

I gave it a try myself.Sorry, I’m joining this conversation quite late and honestly have no idea what it’s about. I just wanted to say that I really like kbt09’s design. That’s why I took the liberty of grabbing it and making some adjustments. What I didn’t like so much—also in the original draft—were the doors for Child 3 and 4 on the lower floor and the small bedroom upstairs. So I thought, if the budget allows, it might be beneficial to add bay windows here. Due to financial reasons (the roof!), I would probably skip that upstairs. But I left the one in the living room for now. It could probably be removed as well.I reduced the kitchen size to make the bedroom bigger. Was anything special planned for the kitchen?
The stairs have slightly different dimensions, but according to Staircase 101, it should be okay.
On the 3m (10 feet) to the left, a shed, carport, or similar structure may be built right up to the boundary.
There are two cars. One is parked in front of the house, the other, for example, on the left with the wheels under a carport.
Perhaps I should mention that we are committed minimalists and promptly give away anything unnecessary. Three of our children don't even have a proper wardrobe yet because the shelf has sufficed so far and they did not feel the need for one.

This might sound a bit odd. Of course, they will get a closet if they want one. At the moment, only the 3-year-old and the 9-year-old actually have one. The others have a small shelf and haven’t wanted more so far, including the oldest. We are still planning the space for it, though.
What I mean is: we have a few high-quality items that are actually used. We don’t accumulate “stuff.” With more practice, this is working better and better and feels really liberating.
Right now, we keep all the garden tools, outdoor furniture, strollers, and bicycles in a 5.5 by 3m (18 by 10 feet) garage. It fits fine. So far, there are only four large bikes, but also a bike trailer and a stroller included.

@kaho674 ... so you have actually made the house smaller—right? The dining table is 220cm (87 inches) long, and the piano needs to be accommodated. Unfortunately, a few measurements are missing from the drawing. Also, bay windows are a cost factor.
@Arifas ... please sketch the house, shed, garage, carport, and parking space for a second car on the site plan.
