Dream house floor plan - 173m² with 3 children's rooms

It apparently marched straight through to LP3, mistakenly treating the weak slope perpendicular to the house axis as if it did not exist and attaching the garage flush at ground level. It was then determined that a height offset between the main and the secondary building would be advisable. As a consequence, the passage on the house side hangs below the ceiling and requires two steps, preferably only behind the swivel area of the door. The otherwise actually good HAR/HWR is turned into a botched plan because of this...

With the development plan (parking spaces are required) and the property in mind, logically only the garage in the north and the house in front of it really make sense for us. The passage must therefore inevitably take the slight slope into account, regardless of the interior layout. Whether and how this can be done specifically still needs to be clarified. I will gladly provide feedback.

If this already happens to someone who actually reads my rambling sensibly, then I don't even want to imagine the futility of my efforts for other readers.

This must be how Cassandra felt. You see the disaster coming, yet the OP continues unfazed toward his fate. Left and right he is still cheered on by others who also do not recognize the impending drama.

Kassandra must have felt like that. You see the disaster coming, yet the OP continues relentlessly toward his fate. On the left and right, he is still encouraged by others who also do not recognize the impending drama.

I know the story as Cassandra prophesying the truth; I don’t read anything about that here.

Of course, you are welcome to send a floor plan that you consider functional for our requirements (4 bedrooms, 1 large living area, kitchen in L-shape, decent wardrobe, laundry room, slight slope toward the south, double garage, 2 mandatory parking spaces, square plot, maximum 175 m²). At least nothing is set in stone (!) for us yet.

Wrong. The slope consequences are not to be considered during the translation of the Hansguckindieluft planning into the detailed design, but already during the building composition in module A. Accordingly, this belongs in the discussion between client and architect during preliminary design development, and not reported to the public afterwards.

Of course, you are welcome to send a floor plan that you consider functional for our requirements [...]. At least nothing is carved in stone with us (yet!).

Carved in wood, but that does not change the principle of the sequence. Unfortunately a typical case of "starting off in third gear" with turning onto the starting straight of the pictorial planning too early.

A small update: We are currently before the building application and are considering the kitchen situation. In fact, we are now leaning towards an L-shaped kitchen with a work island. This would also ease the criticism that the passage to the living area through the kitchen is not ideal. Here are the renderings:

U-shaped kitchen:

Well, sorry. From my point of view, nothing is getting better there. Everything that’s regularly lying around as clutter and unwashed dishes greets you first. But visually, I find the kitchen nice.
