Please be so kind and draw it in a way that shows how the design is positioned on the plot. It looks like this impossible driveway to the property is planned again. Now there would have to be a staircase leading to the main entrance or something similar. You have to plan the house TOGETHER with the terrain.

Is building "up" more expensive than building "out"?

Definitely, it is less wise to adjust the building to the clients’ limited planning imagination than to let the architect implement what is wanted "alone." Architects can understand verbally expressed instructions and don’t need everything pre-drawn.

You have to design the house WITH the terrain.

There should be something like a "pharmacy-only" rule for plots: slopes only with an architect ;-)

Sloped plots are simply challenging. I often find it difficult to visualize as well. That’s why I try to push my house designer to create a terrain model as realistic as possible, which is why site plans with elevation details, etc., are always necessary.

Sometimes indeed, yes. However, often the main difficulty arises from combining a sloped site with a mindset accustomed to building on flat sites. Take the garage as an example: if it’s positioned beside the house, you have the flexibility to place it neither fully in the basement nor the main floor but anywhere in between, depending on how the driveway fits. And just like that, it doesn’t even take much effort to make the volume appear “dynamic.”

The idea of a garage accessed from the side seems impractical here. I would choose one of the streets—in this case, the upper one—and orient the garage door accordingly.

@11ant, you can no longer link images, but posts still work 😉. The site plan in post 13 ... which street do you mean by "top"? I only see the street on the west side and would approach rather from the bottom left.

This plot apparently has only one street at the top of the slope (to the west), so I would position the garage door on that side and drive east into the garage.
