ᐅ Single-family House on a Slope – Feedback on the Current Floor Plan

Hello everyone,
we are currently planning our “dream house.” :-)
Here are some basic facts:
Development Plan / Restrictions
Our plot is about 700sqm (7,535 sq ft) with a slope facing north.
On the south side, as shown in the plan, there are large trees. Behind this approximately 8m (26 feet) wide strip, there are fields.
The main entrance of the house should be on the north side. The higher garden area on the south side should be accessible on one level from the ground floor (dining/living area) – which is very important to us.
As seen in the current plan, you enter “on ground level” from the street/garage through the front door into the vestibule (a split-level between basement and ground floor). From there, you need to go up a few steps to reach the living area.
A split-level house, which would of course be an option for the slope, is something we do not want.
Owners’ Requirements:
Solid construction including double garage / modern design / shallow pitched roof / two living floors plus basement
Number of occupants: 2 adults + 2 toddlers
Open layout (from kitchen to dining/living area)
Kitchen with central island
Fireplace
Open connection between terrace area and living space
House Design
The current plan is based on ideas developed together with an architect.
What we especially like and why:
- Parent’s area on the upper floor with a bright corridor along the outer wall connecting bathroom/dressing room/bedroom
- Open space above the dining table for a spacious, bright atmosphere
After several months, we have reached a planning stage that meets most of our requirements and now want YOUR [B]FEEDBACK! ;-)
We are looking forward to tips and suggestions for improvement regarding room layouts, room sizes, and anything else. [/B]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

This open space only causes noise and cooking smells to reach the sleeping area. It does not save any costs either.

I find it pointless since it’s your personal opinion. Just as every city villa under 300cm (10 feet) is an “instead villa” for @11ant 🙄
Rotate the bed in the bedroom and skip the window overlooking the open space. You don’t want to look directly into the kids’ room, and the child definitely doesn’t want that either.
