Hello,
we have a nice plot of land (~1000m2 (0.25 acres)) adjacent to a nature reserve. Unfortunately, there is a berm about one story high between the property and the nature reserve.
The plan is to build a three-story house, and from the third floor there is a nice view of the lake. Now I’m wondering if the beautiful view might be wasted on the bedrooms, and if I should rather place the dining/living area on the third floor.
In my opinion, this is a trade-off between direct garden access and the view.
At the moment, I live in a ground-floor rental with a garden, and I hardly ever use the garden, only the terrace. I’m not sure if this would change with children.
Does anyone have any other pros or cons?
Thank you very much

Please upload a photo of the dam (taken from the building site) here so it’s easier to visualize (distance to the house and height).Exactly. In the photo attached to the plot post, I see a lot of greenery but no sign of the lake. And you’re interested in modular construction for a lake view property (?)

Of course the kitchen will be upstairs as well, right? In that case, the only downside is the long walk after grocery shopping.For practical reasons, I would always cook on the same level where the food is served. In apartments, the kitchen is also where people live, and not everyone lives on the ground floor. The axe at home replaces the carpenter — or the stairs replace the stepper.

I think I didn’t describe the geographic location clearly enough in the initial post.
To the north of the plot, there is an embankment, and behind it a nature reserve. This area is wooded, and I probably won’t have a view over the trees even from the third floor.
To the west, there is an empty lot followed by a one-and-a-half-story building. Beyond that is the lake and the harbor.
Attached is the image. The plot is marked with a red X, and the embankment is marked in blue.

I somehow don’t understand the issue with the embankment? If it is located north of the property and does not block the view to the west, its height shouldn’t really matter, right? Besides, I wouldn’t orient living spaces mostly to the north because light and warmth are more important to me than a view of the forest...
You won’t be able to avoid seeing the trees in the northeast, and besides, you never get any sun there. Why don’t you build a house similar to the one the neighbor two houses to the right of you has, with a nice terrace on the third floor? Or at least a balcony on the first floor facing west?
