But you could also control that by terrain profiling or terracing the garden, right?

Yes, of course!

I don't see it as that critical.

Watch out! It's not just about a car or the garage, the rooms will definitely suffer. For example, windows and doors will quickly hit at the top if they are built normally high. If built lower, you get an oppressive feeling. Furthermore, you should consider to what extent your fitness area can still be used. A common jumping exercise is then no longer possible. Also: where should the sauna go? You can of course always adapt your original building to the development plan – but will it still be usable then...? ... then these are obvious house defects when selling... nice outside, ugly inside... It's up to you. There is also the definition:

Ceiling top edge on average more than 1.40 m

So it's not just about ceiling height...

... if you turn the lower level into a basement, it is and remains a basement. Take a look here in the forum: there was a discussion about a house sale that did not have the living space as the real estate agent stated in the exposé. Consequently, it is worth less. In theory. It was also about illegal construction, but you really cannot use these rooms as full-fledged living space.

Yes, of course! Watch out! It's not just about a car or the garage, the rooms will definitely suffer from it. For example, windows and doors will quickly hit the top if they are made normally high. If set lower, you get an oppressive feeling. Furthermore, you should consider to what extent your fitness can still be carried out. A common jumping exercise is then no longer possible. Additionally: where should the sauna go? You can of course always adapt your original building to the development plan - but can it still be used like that...? ... then there are obvious house defects when selling... nice outside, ugly inside... You have to know. There's also the definition: So it's not just about ceiling height...

Yes, okay, that's true, but only "two full floors" are permitted. Alternatively, you could also reduce the attic floor by delimiting hollow spaces that do not belong to the "2/3 area of the floor below," which in my case would reduce about 10 m2. Then the attic would no longer be a full floor, and you could make the basement a full floor, or am I mistaken?

Interesting that you have the garage entrance and the front door on opposite sides. What does the site plan look like?

Regarding the basement: If you raise the ground next to the fitness room a bit, you won’t have any problems with the 1.40m. I consider the garage as part of the basement, but this would need to be clarified with the authorities. Concerning the floor height, you could work with different ceiling heights to achieve a comfortable height in the fitness room – after all, it is about an average height here. Fitness 2.35, the rest 2.15 should work.

Here it looks as if the garage driveway is sloping. Then you have a kink at the point of entering the garage, where you already have to consider the height.
If the garage driveway is level ... you still shouldn't underestimate it. Just quickly googled sectional door dimension drawing:

Search for the floor plan discussion via his profile. The floor plan itself has also been criticized by us several times there. But if Guido wants it that way, then so be it!
