Maximum heights / limits
Additional requirements
Client Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: Classic, gable roof, single-family house without projections
Basement, floors: No basement, but due to slope, the lower residential floor should be partially embedded into the hillside. Above that, the ground floor as a full story.
Number of occupants, ages: 2 adults (42 and 49), 1 child (19)
Space requirements on ground and upper floors: approximately 65 sqm (700 sq ft) each
Office: Family use or home office? No
Overnight guests per year: negligible
Open or closed layout: open on the ground floor
Conservative or modern construction:
Open kitchen with island: Yes, with island
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: No
Music / stereo wall
Balcony, roof terrace: No
Garage, carport: Double garage preferred, carport acceptable if necessary
Utility garden, greenhouse
Additional wishes: Photovoltaics planned, mechanical ventilation system included in price, KfW55 energy standard
House Design
Planning source: DIY and general contractor planner
-Planner from construction company: Yes
-Architect: No
-Do-it-yourself: Yes
What do you especially like? Why? South orientation, view
What do you dislike? Why? That’s for you to tell us
Price estimate from architect/planner: 330,000
Personal price limit for house, including fittings: 450,000 including additional construction costs
Preferred heating technology: Air-to-water heat pump
If you have to give up on which details / expansions
-Can you do without: Garage
-Can’t do without: Not building smaller
Why did the design evolve as it is now? Example:
Information from the web (including this forum) and contacts with other builders
What makes it especially good or bad in your view? Don’t know
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Because of this forum, the building shell is planned as it currently is. The lower residential floor is to be half embedded into the slope on the valley side. On the open side are the two bedrooms and the main entrance. To the right, the double garage, also partly embedded in the slope. In the slope are the utility room and a bathroom. The ground floor above is planned entirely for living, with terraces and garden access, plus a small bathroom.
Fire away and thank you all.
Plan top is north.

The building area is located on the side facing the street with the usual setback distances; the house is marked. So, would it be like this? I roughly sketched the slope according to your 3D view.
The south is flat, the north is elevated.
That suggests a view to the west with a south-facing terrace, right? Entrance on the east, and then a partially underground technical/storage room with living space on the ground floor, and conventional bedrooms on the upper floor... or am I mistaken? I know the garage placement is a mistake, since the slope goes up there. But the garage could also be positioned in the southeast. That would also provide privacy screening for the terrace.

The south-facing slope descends fairly evenly from north to south. Therefore, I oriented the long side of the house towards the south.
This also allows the long side of the house, along with the adjacent garage, to hold back a large part of the slope without needing additional retaining walls. If I were to position the house as you have drawn it, the house would be embedded into the slope by the short side.

I don’t know what needs to be routed into the utility room for an external installation; just make sure to clarify it before it causes major problems on site.I will definitely address this again. Thanks.P

Why can’t you access the property from a higher point on the side? Like where the garage is almost touching the street.
Have you considered swapping the levels? Living downstairs and sleeping upstairs? There is an inconveniently placed streetlamp there.
We have thought about swapping the levels, but dismissed the idea. 1. The view wouldn’t be as nice from the lower floor. 2. We prefer to sleep in the cooler basement. 3. Our property opens towards the west.
So if the drawn outlines are meant to represent the planned house location, I’m not convinced. I would place the garage driveway facing the street, so with the gate side to the east, and move the building as far back from the street as House 5, in order to compensate for the slope on the driveway. I don’t feel like doing any calculations, but I roughly estimate the garage would be located between the basement and the first floor. I would position the main entrance at the upper level, and another entrance below for the holiday apartment currently occupied by the former child. I would avoid a single straight staircase crossing the ridge direction of the narrow house and dividing the floor plan.
I would be interested to see what the design would look like without the (possibly misunderstood) local suggestions.

If you don’t want an entrance upstairs, I would at least create an entrance downstairs including a wardrobe closet. Your child can use the bathroom upstairs, which will likely become an office, guest room, or hobby room later. You could separate your private area and use a warm, clean central dressing room (wardrobe + built-in closet under the stairs), accessible from both the bedroom and bathroom. This way, you wouldn’t have to walk through the “dirty” area, and the mail carrier wouldn’t meet you in your nightwear.
