We are currently still at the beginning of the planning phase and would greatly appreciate any suggestions for improvement.
Plan: Single-family home, urban villa, approx. 200 m² (2150 sq ft) with basement
Development Plan:
Plot size: 1080 m² (11625 sq ft)
Slope: Terrain profile shown in the images
Site coverage ratio: 0.3
Floor area ratio: 0.6
Maximum permissible wall height: 7.0 m (23 ft)
Maximum permissible building height or ridge height: 9.5 m (31 ft)
Maximum number of full stories: 2
General residential area
Maximum of two residential units per building
Orientation: It would be desirable to position the living/dining/kitchen area facing west and south (no further neighboring development possible to the west)
Ground level within undeveloped parts of developed plots may be altered by a maximum of 50 cm (20 inches). Exceptions apply for terrace embankments up to a maximum of 1.0 m (39 inches) allowed (maximum 30 m² (320 sq ft))
Access routes of at least 5 m (16 ft) length must be provided between garages/carports and public roads
Homeowners' Requirements
Roof style: Hipped roof
Architectural style: Urban villa
Basement: Yes
Full stories: 2
Office: occasional home office
Kitchen: Open kitchen with island
Fireplace: Yes
Balcony: No
Terrace: Yes (facing west, since no further development is possible there, and a short section facing south)
House Design:
Self-planned: improvement suggestions very welcome!
Preferred heating system: Heat pump
What we could do without:
Less space on the 1st floor
Questions:
Any suggestions for optimizing the layout/orientation?
Slope of the terrain: What limitations might this cause?
Is a direct connection from the garage to the living area practical? Easily achievable?
Is a smooth transition from terrace to garden possible?

I would leave out the children's bathroom. You still have the bathroom on the ground floor as an alternative.
As mentioned before, it would be better to use Bathroom 3 as a utility room.
I find the hallway on both the ground floor and upper floor quite large. On the ground floor, you could shorten the hallway and align the wall with the wall between the study and the living room.
On the upper floor, I would make the hallway much smaller. That space is mostly unused. The two children's bedrooms could be next to each other and made slightly larger by adding the area from Bathroom 3 to the bedrooms. Then, the utility room could be placed partially above or directly next to the staircase in the hallway. This means there would be no natural light in the hallway anymore. You could install a glass door to the utility room, for example, to allow some light into the hallway, or simply turn on the hallway light if it feels too dark. Usually, people only pass through the hallway to get to the rooms rather than staying there.

Is a direct connection from the garage to the main house practical? Easily achievable?

HausbauerA schrieb:If you need less space on the upper floor, then the house should be planned accordingly and not just designed as a simple two-story building.
Less space on the first floor

Although the exterior dimensions are probably not accurate due to the uniformly very thin wall thickness in this floor plan software;

Kreisrund18 Jun 2022 08:51I imagine the open space might be quite dark, as it receives very limited sunlight.
Based on the pictures, it is hardly possible to provide an evaluation…
First of all: always dimension properly, include furniture layouts, and indicate the orientation N/S/E/W.
The “laminate” is more distracting than helpful. Omit it.
What can be seen…
- far too much hallway/circulation space overall
- cloakroom by the staircase?
- is the passage to the dining area permanently open, or where does the sliding door slide to?
- the stove placement seems somewhat awkward
- dining area right in front of the hallway… generally unfavorable… space between dining and kitchen remains unused… moving/extending the table conflicts with kitchen workspaces
- in my opinion, there is no need to address the upper floor yet…
Therefore: create a list of your wishes, go to the architect (who will need to deal with the site topography anyway), and present the first draft here.
