ᐅ House placement on a slight sloping site, any tips?

Hello everyone,

I have bought a plot of land and feel a bit unsure about how to position the house.
The situation is as follows:
20 m (66 feet) wide facing the street
Approximately 26 m (85 feet) in length, with about 3 m (10 feet) rising toward the back—so the land slopes uphill at the rear. Unfortunately, the ground floor is only allowed to be up to 50 cm (20 inches) higher than the street level, so it can’t be raised.
The sun moves in a semicircle from right to left in the picture and sets at the red arrow in the evening.
The development plan requires a setback of 5 m (16 feet) from the street and 3 m (10 feet) from the neighbor.

What is the best way to approach this?
Build the house as far back as possible and into the slope, creating a large front garden?
Position the house toward the front with living spaces upstairs/facing the street? Living room downstairs in the darker half-basement?
Excavate completely and have support walls visible at the back?

Does anyone have ideas for building on a sloping plot that rises toward the rear?

Well, I guess I was a bit confused by Tannenstrasse.
Well, when the OP blackens out the sections ...
I think we’re roughly talking about this location:

Exactly, that roughly matches the location.

So, I tried to find out some information about the contour lines since you still haven’t told us whether the slope runs evenly across the entire property. But it’s also possible that I simply forgot over the past few days.

How about uploading some photos of your property? None of us here have a crystal ball to answer your question or make any guesses.

The slope is fairly linear, rising a bit more towards the back. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos at the moment, but I can go and take some later.

Why is the answer coming only now? The question was asked to you several times since Friday.
Regarding your question, to settle this for me: build normally, with the front part slightly higher, maybe 50cm (20 inches), then create steps or terraces leading to the entrance. The rest will fall into place. Plant the southern slope nicely with a small plateau.

I have imported the contour lines from the geoportal.

This corresponds to a slope of about 9%.
