Building zone, building line, and boundary
Edge development
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2 full floors
Roof type: 22-degree gable roof
Architectural style
Orientation: South-facing slope, accordingly oriented
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

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.

Your suggestion is definitely worth considering.
I'm currently on the go and can only reply briefly. But honestly, I find that very cool. 🙂

I’m on the go right now and can only reply briefly. But honestly, I think it’s really cool. 🙂I’m glad to hear that… I’ll keep it in my plans in case you have any further questions.
So, here’s another idea: rotate the house only 45° (so it’s parallel to the street). Search for "K2Architekten Glueckauf Vier" on Google, they solved this very well. You would need to mirror the design so the entrance faces southeast, but I can easily imagine that working.
Since you already noted this as a rough estimate anyway: forget the garage! Have a carport near the street and a nice pathway to the house, possibly with a branch leading to the basement/ground floor and upper floor. You have so much space; this will feel much more natural and spacious. Of course, it also saves a significant amount of budget and eases access issues like elevation, driveway, and so on. And yes, you might get a few raindrops on you… but is a 10m (33 feet) walk really that bad?

I would probably avoid building a garage as well—only if it’s absolutely necessary.
I have now designed a slightly larger house with a 15sqm (160 sq ft) utility room plus 3sqm (32 sq ft) storage space on the upper floor and made some adjustments, but it still includes a garage.
Unfortunately, I can’t rotate the house. However, you can get an idea of the possible layout.

I’ve attached some photos showing progress from the start in June up to October. More will follow...
