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:

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

Otherwise... offset shed roof, yes. But for me, it was more about excavation and embankment.
As I said, so far they have simply excavated at the back and that’s it.

Are the other plots also subject to height differences of more than 3 meters (10 feet) or less? If more than the allowable +/- 75 centimeters (30 inches) according to the zoning plan have been excavated, then you also need to consider safety measures to protect neighboring properties.
Somehow, leveling the terrain while accepting a sudden slope increase doesn’t really make sense for garden design. As I mentioned, I also see it as a cost factor because a significant amount of earth has to be moved.

Mike1234567890131 Jul 2016 23:07I can’t say for sure if everyone has a 3m (10 feet) height difference, but at least the immediate neighbor has the same 510.35m (1,675 feet) elevation at the back as we do, which means there is a 2.50m (8 feet) difference compared to the street side.
Yes, you’re right there. As I said, I would level the property to approximately 510,xx (about 1,675 feet) using the described method, as far as possible.
Let’s see what the builder/surveyor says.
Regarding costs:
The builder/surveyor has currently estimated 12 hours for leveling. If I add a safety buffer of 2 x 8 hours, I’m still well within my planned budget. I can’t imagine it will take any longer than that.
And somehow, flattening the terrain while accepting a sudden slope increase doesn’t seem to make much sense for garden design. As I mentioned, I also see it as a cost factor because quite a large amount of soil needs to be moved.
