How do you access the carport if the property and therefore the ground floor are 2m (6.5 feet) below street level? Just the usual way — with a boat lift ;-)

An entrance door located in the carport is a no-go.
With the slope, that would be not only inconvenient but also potentially dangerous.
A kitchen window under the carport is a no-go as well. (Okay, that one can be omitted 😉)
The cloakroom is too far from the entrance; that makes the entire hallway prone to getting dirty.
A large utility room is always nice, but this one is actually bigger than any of the rooms upstairs. You can definitely overdo it when using leftover space.
Better space utilization would be necessary here. Also, the walk-in closet with three doors is not well designed (3.5 wardrobe lengths plus a dresser can fit in half the area).
The kids’ bathroom has a rather narrow shower.
What I’m curious about: how can you have windows on all four sides of the upper floor in a gable roof house with a third gable?
