the terrain is flat, only drops a total of 3 meters to the west. I honestly don’t know what other information I can provide!?
For example, the dimensions of the plot and budget expectations. It doesn’t help if someone designs a low-budget house for you here, but you could and want to spend much more. The other way around as well: features in the floor plan are expensive – what am I supposed to suggest huge sightlines that take up several sqm and you can’t afford?!
one idea would still be to expand the main house with a pitched roof upstairs for children’s rooms and a children’s bathroom, but keep the rest of the rooms on the ground floor. The thought behind it is whether the space for a large staircase is worth it
That’s already a good approach: the child has an adequate room on the ground floor for a few years, the office goes to the attic (flat pitched roof), and when they can and want to sleep alone, you switch. An average staircase is also sufficient, e.g. steel stringer, it’s quite modern, timeless, and cheap. With that, you have good use of the roof, which is there anyway. This way you can minimize downstairs a bit and balance financially – and you have the spatial separation. Later you have a nice room upstairs for the next hobbies (yoga, guests, etc.) What about an architect? I’ll check at home what I still have saved on the computer – if the plot width is known… It’s also just that we have summer weather right now, so I don’t stay in front of the PC – but sketching on the lounger works ;)
