Which box is the terrace? I interpreted it as street, garage, house.I have marked a terrace of 8 m on the south side. It might be slightly obscured because of the garage.

It depends on how you intercept and how high. There is a very wide range from "we just cut it off a bit" through self-made retaining wall, L-blocks set by the garden landscaper (because they are too heavy to move without an excavator) to natural stone dry stone wall. Since you look at it from your own terrace, you will tend to prefer nicer solutions, which are usually more expensive.

Since you see it from your own terrace, you tend to prefer nicer solutions, which are usually also more expensive.
Ultimately, though, such things reduce the financial advantage of "building without a basement." And at some point, the question is whether it is still a good ratio to pay 50% or more of the basement price to end up without a basement. You will have to make that decision yourself in the end. I would also ask again whether you really only need 80 sqm including basement and storage rooms. Beyond a certain threshold, building smaller only becomes slightly cheaper, because you still need a front door, heating, a bathroom, a kitchen...
For those born in '89, the question of family planning might also arise.

Our northern neighbor thought the same. The landscaping gardener wasn't thrilled about the idea, and now L-shaped retaining walls are supposed to be installed there. One meter isn't that little after all, especially if you don't want to slope it at a 45-degree angle. That's fine by me, then during heavy rain the runoff won't flow down to me. I wouldn't leave one meter unsecured either. You can slope it if you really want to save money, but then it's neither nice nor practical. I still consider it clearly inclined towards a hillside house, not a bungalow on a slab. But I don't want to argue stubbornly against it here or force anyone. Accordingly, I'll step out of the topic for now.Let's keep things realistic. For this slope, no L-shaped retaining walls are needed. The small excavation in the north will be filled in the south, and that's fine.
