Hello everyone,
Attached is our floor plan, on which the detailed construction plan will be based in the coming days. We would appreciate any constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: approximately 850m² (9,150 sq ft)
Slope: yes, see terrain elevation image
Site coverage ratio: 0.3
Floor area ratio: 0.6
Edge development: yes
Number of parking spaces: 1.25
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: gable roof - visible roof truss
Roof pitch: 15-30 degrees
Architectural style: family house, country house
Orientation: north-south (planned)
Maximum cut on plot: 0.75m (2.5 ft)
Maximum fill on plot: 0.75m (2.5 ft)
Knee wall height:
Valley side: permitted up to 0.50m (20 inches) measured from top of raw ceiling to top of purlin;
Hill side: permitted up to 0.75m (30 inches), measured from top of raw ceiling to top of purlin.
Additional Specifications
Basement, floors: yes, 2
Number of occupants, ages: 4 (3, 6, 39, 41)
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor:
Office: home office
Garage, carport: garage
Guest bedrooms: many
Open or closed architecture: open (living area)
Open kitchen, kitchen island: yes
Number of dining seats: 8 (one central dining table)
Fireplace: yes
House Design
Designer: self-designed
What do you particularly like? Living area
What do you not like? The slope is somehow not being utilized, but we can’t think of any ideas
Preferred heating technology: gas condensing boiler seems appropriate since gas is available, but not yet finalized

Other Notes:
- Parcel 4 in the site plan is ours
- The 2m (6.5 ft) line is not yet drawn, as the roof pitch has not been definitively determined
- Windows etc., especially on the upper floor, are also not yet 100% fixed; we would appreciate any tips
- North is at the top
- We have a slight (?) slope (from 511.65m (1,681 ft) in the southeast to 507.86m (1,666 ft) in the northwest), but we don’t know how to use it positively… perhaps someone has a good idea so we can take advantage of it
- The kitchen island is shown as 60cm (24 inches) in the plan, but will actually be 1.10m (43 inches) wide – hence the space between the chairs and the kitchen island

So far, three neighbors to the west have built on a similar or roughly equal slope. Their approach was to dig down to the property boundary. That is, of course, the least desirable solution, but at least it allows each floor plan to fit.
Currently, I am imagining that we won’t have a driveway but rather a ramp. With a bit of luck, this will put us at about 509 m (1670 ft). The garage will be positioned slightly lower than the house, and the entrance to the house will be up a few steps, hopefully reaching 509.50 m (1672 ft) or higher. From the back of the house, there will still be a 2 m (6.5 ft) height difference over 20 m (66 ft). That’s still quite a lot, but maybe we’ll come up with a better idea.
The construction company will do the elevation survey next week since the measurements I have aren’t sufficient for them. Hopefully, things will become clearer then.

Here, the upper floor is neither a full story nor does it meet the 50/75 cm (20/30 inches) knee wall rule, as far as can be seen.Well, not yet, but as I said, this is still a work in progress.....You and others asked for elevations, so here are the first drafts.
And, as I already wrote, the house does not provide a solution for your sloped site. Ypg also noticed that.Yes, that’s why I’m posting here, see the initial post.M

Window solution in front of the staircase:
Hmm... cleaning?You’re right about that... but we really like it.
This is how it is supposed to look:
However, we cannot provide you with a design for a hillside site.
Is the image shown from the same street?
If you want to create a roughly 5m (16.5 ft) long driveway rising from 507.8m (1667 ft) to about 509m (1670 ft), it will be very steep. There will be issues when driving down this steep driveway and then turning onto the street, and also problems with the transition into the garage. Just draw it to scale and you will see what I mean.
I would want the planner to demonstrate exactly these points next. Is the planner an architect, or just an employee of the builder?

The approach here was to excavate soil down to the property boundary.
Maximum excavation on the property: 0.75m (2.5 ft)
Maximum fill on the property: 0.75m (2.5 ft)

Is the picture shown from the same street? No, it’s not related.
But it doesn’t match at all with:
Maximum excavation on the property: 0.75 m (2.5 feet)
Maximum fill on the property: 0.75 m (2.5 feet) You’re right about that. I think this is currently being quietly tolerated. Not far from here, excavation of 1.50 m (5 feet) was approved upon request. I believe getting a permit wouldn’t be an issue here.
If you want to create a driveway about 5 m (16 feet) long rising from 507.8 m (1667 feet) to around 509 m (1670 feet), it will be very steep. There will be issues when coming down this steep driveway and then turning onto the street, and also problems at the garage entry. Just draw it to scale and you’ll see.
I would want the planner to demonstrate exactly these points next. Is the planner an architect or just an employee of the builder? Okay, that’s a good point. We’ll do that.
But these are also costs for the entire landscaping, which will definitely incur extra charges.
And then, if everything is excavated on the first 19 m (62 feet) or so, as it would have to be roughly, you step out from your ground floor and are facing a slope wall.
Is the plot offered directly by the contractor?
