Hello, we would appreciate some suggestions and tips. This is the first draft, so there is certainly room for improvement. Thank you.
Attached are the details:
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size approx. 600 sqm (6,458 sq ft)
Slope - 10% incline
Site coverage ratio 0.35
Floor area ratio 0.5
Building envelope, setback, and boundary 15 x 15 m (49 x 49 ft)
Number of parking spaces 2
Number of stories 2
Roof type FD
Maximum height 6.30 m (20.7 ft)
Client requirements
Style, roof type, building type
Basement, number of floors: rather no
Number of occupants, age: 2, approx. 35 years
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor
Office: family use or home office? Home office
Overnight guests per year: no idea
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island: rather yes
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: no
Music/stereo wall: possibly
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: both
House design
Planner: DIY
Estimated cost according to architect/planner: 450,000 euros (house including ancillary costs)
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump with underfloor heating
Why is the design the way it is now? Previously lived in an old building with 3.5 m (11.5 ft) ceiling height and very large rooms; tried to replicate the room sizes at least partially; bedroom is deliberately located on the south side for a better view

Basically, the basement will not really be a basement but more like a lower ground floor (LGF), and then the next floor above is referred to as the upper floor (UF). So the building can remain at two stories. However, it might also be better to extend downwards into a third underground level. It all depends on the plot of land.
This needs to be planned carefully because the rear part, which is built into the ground, will receive very little natural light.
If you don’t understand something, you need to ask for clarification instead of ignoring what you don’t understand or don’t like. Likewise, we asked without receiving a response about the amount of slope or gradient allowed within the building plot.

The problem is that we have a fully furnished apartment of that size, but the layout is completely differentAnd that is not an issue. Anyone who builds accepts changes and currently lives in an apartment or house with furniture.
You don’t build a house around furniture, you design a well-planned house that is easy to furnish.
To be honest, I find this more helpful than the aggressive "the budget doesn’t fit anyway" at the start. The building plot is 15m by 15m (50ft by 50ft), and the slope runs fairly diagonally across it with about a 1.5m (5ft) difference from the lower left to the upper right, while the driveway would be from the upper left. How much more expensive is it to raise the ground level? The diagonal would have to be leveled anyway for the driveway.

If you show up with your own initial draft, you are restricting yourself. Not advisable. Terrain, zoning plan / building permit, your spatial requirements, possibly a soil report. And then let the professionals work.
Such a design could be discussed here much more productively.

A quick question regarding basements and garages. Is it possible to simply integrate a garage into the basement, or are there issues or specific factors to consider? Does this cost significantly more, or is it worth it compared to the savings from not building a separate garage?
