Hello everyone!
I have been in the planning phase for our single-family house for some time now, but it is proving to be very difficult and complicated due to the characteristics of our plot.
Here is a brief description of our plot:
Orientation: South - North
Dimensions: 20m wide and 40m long (approx. 66 feet by 131 feet)
The access road is located on the south side. Therefore, our plot slopes upward about 3m (10 feet) from the south (access road) towards the north.
See attachment below:
We do not have a preferred layout for the floor plan of the single-family house. I am open to all ideas and would appreciate any suggestions or layouts that could help us realize our dream home. We have already considered all variants (basement & ground floor, ground floor & upper floor)…
What we want:
- Double garage and barrier-free access through a utility/mudroom into the house & a technical room for the building
- Basement / Ground floor:
Living room
Dining room
Kitchen & pantry/storage room
Office
Bathroom
Toilet
Entrance hall & cloakroom
Access to the next floor via stairs
- Ground floor / Upper floor:
Master bedroom
Child’s bedroom
Child’s bedroom
Child’s bedroom
Bathroom
Toilet
Roof type: Gable roof
South orientation is not a must, as we are not sun worshippers and summers are getting hotter. We want nice, open, and bright rooms, as well as a garden on both the south and north sides with small terraces.
I would be very grateful for your help, thoughts, and experiences, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Best regards from beautiful Austria!

Cons: long driveway, driving backward down towards the street. Is the street heavily trafficked?

Thanks! Which software do you use for that?Live Home 3D, Pro version. It’s the American standard. Unfortunately, it also has some flaws. The advantage is the terrain modeling.

I had only looked at the slope conditions and trusted the original poster. You are, of course, right. My doubts were by no means about the comparability of the slope locations based on the original poster’s information here; rather, I am increasingly convinced that the designer in the linked thread earned their architecture degree at a fairground.
