Hello,

we are currently at the beginning of our planning.
The "problem" with our plot is the slight slope and the northern "tip" which can hardly be used sensibly. Due to lack of alternatives, we would still choose the plot and now see what is possible. A first draft already exists, see attachment.
The garage would be set somewhat lower due to the depression. Here I now see the problem whether it might be too dark in the office because of the skylight?
Our alternative would be the bungalow 110 from Town & Country with an open kitchen.

For a few days now, we have been considering whether a detached house would make more sense because then the windows would be free at the upper level due to the depression.
I want to gather some "new" ideas on how we can best deal with the depression.
So far, the plan is to push the garages as far north as possible and build the house onto it.

Orientation: Terrace facing west/south-west because the south is "heavily" built up

Heavily built up means what?

Is there a reason why most of it is not filled out? 10% slope is not exactly little, and I am wondering how much you want to fill up and retain to the side again.

If you want tips on the division of the plot including the slope, you must upload a site plan with contour lines as well as exact plot dimensions. Without that, it is pointless and the response will be close to zero.

Sorry, I pressed send too early above. Is it not possible to edit posts?

Development Plan/Restrictions
The development plan basically does not impose any restrictions
Size of the plot: 650 m2
Slope: gradient of just under 10% from south to north (would need to be filled)
Number of parking spaces: 1
Orientation: terrace facing west/southwest because the south is "heavily" built up. Heavily means in our case a two-story house.

Requirements of the builders
Style, roof shape, building type: Bungalow with hipped roof or single-family house with gable roof
Basement, floors: 1-2 (without basement)
Number of people, age: 2
Office: family use or home office? Should be designed for both
Overnight guests per year: 4-5 times
Open or closed architecture: open
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, cooking island: yes
Number of dining seats: 4
Fireplace: no
Balcony, roof terrace: for a single-family house a roof terrace on the garages would be possible but probably not sensible since it is on the north side.
Garage, carport: double garage or garage + carport

What is especially liked? Why? Large living area with many floor-to-ceiling windows
What is not liked? Why? The office seems to be quite dark because only a large skylight is possible due to the lowered garage.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 300,000

The slope from the southernmost to the northernmost corner is almost exactly 2 meters, so it's not quite 10 percent.
Regarding filling, it is clear that we cannot raise the whole plot, hence the garages set lower.

For a few days now, we have been considering whether a single-family house would be more sensible due to the lowering, as then the windows in the upper area would be free.

I just thought about whether you could put the office in the front, then the wardrobe and WC next to it, and then the utility room. But that wouldn’t be possible for us, for example, in Lower Saxony, because you are not allowed to build over pipes. How is it for you?
MN could also swap guest room and kitchen with an open kitchen.

Basically, I find the two hallway axes too dominant in their narrowness. They have no residential value, are only traffic areas, and at 110 sqm too much space. My opinion.
With 2 people, everything could be planned a bit more spaciously.

A site plan with elevation points would still be useful. It is actually conceivable to have two stories, with a garage, utility room, possibly sleeping/bathroom downstairs, and the public rooms upstairs.
