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’m just considering shifting the large window by the dining table a bit further south so that the table is centered in front of it. However, then it wouldn’t be centered from the outside anymore. Above all, it would create an awkward alignment together with the two windows below.

By the way, we probably won’t include the bar stools in the kitchen. The architect drew them in, but we hadn’t actually planned on having them. Taken by itself, that’s a minor issue – but at this stage, nothing should ever be drawn as if the architect hadn’t listened to the client, absolutely without exception.

On its own, this is a minor detail – but at this stage, nothing should ever be drawn as if the client’s input wasn’t taken into account.Yes, the architect isn’t really like that... I don’t want to dwell on it here. But well...Unfortunately, the staircase is not dimensioned; I also find it quite narrow, with 14 steps shown. If it’s turned, a wall could be omitted as well.
The small bathrooms are about 180 cm (70.9 inches) wide, right? Ultimately, there is barely more than 80 cm (31.5 inches) left for the toilet (considering wall plaster, tiles, shower enclosure, etc.). This bathroom layout is also often chosen in hotels.
Regarding the west side on the ground floor: I think the kitchen should be planned there since a window would make a lot of sense. Then there would be a window at the dining area, and afterwards you could see how the windows in the basement harmonize. Both windows there are currently shown with a height of 112 cm (44.1 inches), unfortunately without an elevation view. If the terrain is as I imagine it, the window in the study will likely have to be shorter.
Are the windows on the south side of the ground floor (living room, children’s room) really meant to be divided into four sections? Is the lower part fixed glazing? Or is it a safety barrier? In the living room, a sofa is planned in front of the window... why not just use windows with a standard sill height? This would also make it easier to arrange a desk and other furniture in the children’s room.
