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.

Well then, first lie down in the bathtub and step into the shower enclosure. That way, you can see what you like.

I would rotate the shower and place a wall between the shower and the bathtub. Of course, the bathtub should be nicely integrated with shelves around it. Then install a pivot door in front of the shower.

It’s definitely better to install a folding shower door that can fold away to the right and left.

Fold away where exactly – partly in front of the window? – possibly this could create some space by installing the shower door right at the head end of the bathtub. I’m tempted to imagine something like a folding screen.

Of course, install the bathtub in a stylish way

I think you have a style obsession.

We would have chosen a folding door that opens inward. But the faucet is there as well. That probably wouldn’t look good. Hmm.

I would first plan the bathtub, then separate the shower area with a fixed glass panel at the top of the layout, followed by possibly another fixed glass panel and a pivot door that opens inward. Depending on the available space at the top of the layout, the pivot door could also be a folding door, making it easier to open inward after showering. This helps prevent water droplets outside the shower. I have a similar folding pivot door myself.

Good idea, but I would have the door swing the other way.
