Dear forum members,
We have a sloped plot with access from the top, approximately 20m (65 feet) wide and about 45m (148 feet) long. It becomes flatter at the bottom, and the slope at the top is about 15%. The slope runs from east to west, and the previous owner already excavated a terrace
across the entire width decades ago. The neighboring houses also have terraces built up to this level.
Since we are a family of four and the house also needs to include a respectable commercial space for customer visits, we will probably need at least 200 sqm (2,150 sq ft).
I’m not too keen on the idea of building a three-story tower with 70 sqm (750 sq ft) per floor there. On the other hand, given the width of the plot (we also need space for a garage and carport) and the slope, we cannot fit the rooms we need into just the basement and ground floor. If we build too far back, there will be hardly any garden left on the terrace.
Do you have any more creative ideas on how to work with the slope so that a small garden can remain? Or is the tower our only option?
Our budget is about 650,000 solely for the house. However, for some trades, we have good conditions because family businesses are involved.
Right now, I am mainly looking for some ideas before we meet with an architect. We are very open regarding the implementation.

We are not building in Hamburg. We would probably have fewer slope-related issues there 😀. Did I indicate that incorrectly somewhere? Your profile says Hamburg. I was already wondering.Your local building authority will answer your questions about parking spaces and garages or carports, especially if you want to deviate from the development plan/planning permission.
How have the neighbors built? Three stories?
