Hello dear forum members,
We are still quite at the beginning.
We (26 and 27 years old) are still very early in the process – we have already visited a planning office a few times, but we are not really making progress! I hope you can help us. We look forward to criticism, ideas, and suggestions for improvement.
Here are the key details:
The plot is on a slope and can be accessed from both sides (east and west). If I have made any major mistakes, I apologize in advance. I have provided the data as accurately as possible.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: approx. 900m² (9688ft²)
Slope: Yes! – approx. 28%
Orientation: Front door facing east
No maximum height or other restrictions
Owners’ requirements
Roof style: shed roof, low-pitched gable roof, hipped roof would also be nice (but probably too expensive)
Number of floors: max. 2 (“multi-purpose basement”)
Number of occupants, age: 2 (26, 27)
Space needed on ground floor and upper floor: max. 145m² (1560ft²)
Office: family use
No open-plan kitchen – living room somewhat separated
Number of dining seats: 6 – corner bench seating
WC/bathroom – small on ground floor or basement as well
Balcony, small!
Garage or carport – either a double garage or single garage plus carport; garage must be on the left
Other wishes/special features/daily routine: large hobby room (20m² (215ft²)), 2 children’s rooms, WC with window (if possible), separate bathroom, few windows on the street side (east) – also bedroom on that side (because it is cooler there), fairly short distance from garage to kitchen
House design
Planning by: planning office
What do you like most? – sheltered terrace, elongated/narrow shape, two stories
What do you dislike? – “boxyness”
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: 300,000–350,000
Preferred heating technology: wood heating / pellets
If you had to give up something, what details/additions could you forego?
- can give up: large rooms (children’s rooms can be very small)
- cannot give up: separate WC/bathroom, garage, hobby room

These (pictures) show our current planning status! What do you think?
We are still quite uncertain about the outdoor staircase and might possibly leave it out.

Pure layperson’s opinion:
If I’m reading the plan correctly, the front door opens towards the stairs? I would be concerned that someone coming down the stairs might hit their head on it.
I would leave out the pantry; with a width of 1.10 m (3.6 feet), you can’t fit two shelves opposite each other, and I would rather make the kitchen larger and store those items there instead.
