Slope Yes. South-facing incline of about 3.80 m (12 ft 6 in) over the entire depth
Site coverage ratio 0.4
Floor area ratio
Building window, building line, and boundary Minimum 5 m (16 ft) distance from the street, otherwise no requirements
Edge development
Number of parking spaces
Number of floors
Roof shape SD, WD, FD, half-hipped roof, PD
Style

Maximum heights / limits Ridgeline height 7.5 m (25 ft), total height 9 m (30 ft) measured from the natural ground level on the valley side
Other requirements Cistern required
Owners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type Gently sloping gable roof
Basement, floors Basement and two full floors
Number of occupants, ages 4 people (30, 29, 5, 1)
Room requirements by level
Basement: entrance area / hallway, office, technical room, utility room, pantry, garage with access to the house
Ground floor: open living/dining area with kitchen, bathroom with walk-in shower

House Design
Who designed the plan: DIY, architect (sketches)
Previously an architect’s draft with selected elements adopted
What do you particularly like? Why?
What don’t you like? Why?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 450,000
Personal price limit for the house including equipment: 500,000
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump, possibly geothermal
If you have to give up, which details or additions
-can you do without?
-can you not do without? spacious kitchen and dining area
Why is the design as it is now?
It has been quite a long process since general floor plans commonly found in model homes and online, as well as standard building volumes and wishes, were not suitable for this plot. Initially, discussions took place with architect friends. They created the first sketches (see attachment; sketches aligned north) and gave important advice regarding orientation, etc.
Because of the slope, a basement is practical. It “faces” the street side, partially above ground. Neighbors often have their garages in the basement, so this was our initial idea as well, but it was abandoned due to the space needed for an office. The entrance will still be in the basement facing the street.
The photo roughly shows neighboring buildings; unfortunately, no plans are available that illustrate the development. Since the southern neighboring property is quite close and tall, our main orientation is planned towards the west (also offers better distant views).
The garage should be accessible on foot or serve as a terrace and be partly planted (cost factor?).
The ground floor should cantilever slightly over the basement (cost factor?) to create a structured façade (model photo).
My main concern is the ground floor layout.
What do you notice or what alternative suggestions do you have? How do you view the differences between the two designs?
We are quite open regarding the staircase design; the sketch shows a straight staircase, which, however, takes up more space.
The client would like a laundry chute—where could this be integrated?
Most of the windows and bathroom furnishings are placeholders, so please don’t put too much emphasis on them.
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Comments and further suggestions regarding the floor plan, especially for the ground floor. The basement and upper floor will be adjusted accordingly.
Best regards

The ground floor should cantilever slightly over the basement (cost factor?), to give the facade more structure (model photo). That way, the house will look like a stack of shoe boxes of different sizes, just like the current model. Is that the desired outcome?

Maximum height/limits roof ridge height 7.5 m (24.6 ft) and facade height 9 m (29.5 ft) measured from the natural ground level on the valley side Isn’t the valley side higher? Is the basement not included in the calculation? @Escroda ?Nilsson schrieb:
Small excerpt from the development plan.Is the solution there? Where I am, I can’t make attachments larger.MayrCh schrieb:
Without having been inside such a space myself: Isn’t there a risk that 5 × 12 m (16 × 39 feet) might feel too narrow and elongated?It should be well zoned and possibly designed with a fireplace, built-in cupboard, partition wall, or something similar.Similar topics
