Hello,

Has anyone here built a house without a basement on a slope? I would appreciate some pictures to get a better idea. We have an elevation difference of about 5 m (16 feet) from the street to the property boundary, which is approximately 25 m (82 feet) away, and the finished floor level (FFL) is planned to be 1.66 m (5.4 feet) above the street, with the garage 0.5 m (1.6 feet) lower.

2 years old and a baby, yes, toys are currently planned to be kept in the living room as long as the kids are small (the little one still has a bit of time anyway 😀). We have the same setup at the moment, and the living-dining room is even smaller.

I really like the upper floor!

I don’t buy that! Unless you’re part of the 1%...
The original poster has an open-plan living area of 55 sqm (592 sq ft), which we also have. Most have between 36 and 50 sqm (387 and 538 sq ft) for the open-plan living area. About 15 to 20 sqm (161 to 215 sq ft) of that are usually taken up by the living room. Which group do you belong to?

So about 20 sqm (215 sq ft) for a living room seems standard and not too small. The open-plan area is definitely not too small, but the furniture placement on the floor plan is very poorly arranged.

That’s why we always say here, and now I’m telling you again: include your furniture in the drawings, otherwise no constructive feedback is possible! If you need 29 m² (312 sq ft) for the kitchen, then you only have 30 m² (323 sq ft) left for the rest!
And in reality, it’s all quite different, isn’t it?

I would take one meter (3.3 feet) from the kitchen to create more space in the dining area.
