ᐅ Sloping site with a level terrace at ground floor level

Hello,

we have purchased a building plot with a slight slope. The plot measures 23x23 meters (75x75 feet) and has a height difference of 3 meters (10 feet) from the street to the boundary point.

We do not want a basement but a ground-level terrace instead.
Now we are considering having living spaces in the lower level.

The idea would be to have the living room/kitchen, etc. downstairs and the bedrooms on the ground floor.

Has anyone implemented this and can share their experience, possibly with pictures?

Why don't you rotate the garage? Have the opening face the entrance and perhaps shift it a bit more towards the east. Then the entrance could also be slightly offset at the level of the side door.

That was the very first draft. The garage opening faced east. However, my wife didn’t want it that way because she was worried you would constantly have to maneuver to get into the garage. Also, if you park briefly, the car would always be in front of the main door.

That’s exactly how it will be now, I bet 😉

That’s where the car is supposed to be when stopping briefly. Otherwise, it will be parked right in front of the door.

But the garage somehow isn't in the right place.
??? - however, in my opinion, it STRONGLY stands out as a garage and disrupts the overall architectural composition by miles.
