Hello,
I am a bit unsure about our outdoor area, specifically the corner of the house on the south side. Here, the terrace (height ground floor) meets the lawn area (height basement). So, a height difference of one story needs to be overcome.
Originally, the planner intended to build natural stones on the lower side facing the house, which then slope away from the house. Next to it, there is a slope. I lack a bit of imagination. If the basement level is to be as large as possible, the slope will also be very large and still steep. I don't have an idea on how to design this slope in a way that does not require too much work.
To walk on foot from the terrace to the area in front of the basement rooms, according to this plan, you would have to walk all the way along the property boundary, quite a long way, which I also don’t find ideal.
Attached are some pictures of the situation.
How wide would you make the terrace? Would you also use only natural stones by the house, and the rest slope? That is probably the cheapest? What do you "do" with the slope? How steep would you make the slope to keep the level lawn area as large as possible?
Are there any other ideas?
