Feedback on floor plan of hillside house

Messing something up is dumb, but I’ll do it anyway

but then the direct access from the kitchen to the pantry/storage room is probably gone.

In 2/3 steps you’ve reached the dancing step opposite.

We don’t know if that would be optimal. The street is quiet,

The TV is always getting louder

in the evening when the light is on inside, you could probably see well into our living room.

That’s why there are cleverly placed windows, possibly a hedge around the property, and most people have pleated blinds or something anyway...

And I would find no window at the front a shame,

“shame” often has to be accepted to design something else perfectly

because the orientation with south/east probably allows nice light until late afternoon.

Therefore, one should consider whether to place the garage and the stairs there at all, or perhaps think about rotating, countering, or something else.

I don’t see this draft as final, there’s some thought behind it, but there’s still much more in it.

Does the professional just draw according to instructions or does he also plan?

Don't get me wrong... I would like to be more counterproductive, but that's always bad on a sloping property that you don't know.

Building envelope, building line and building limit: only paragraph 34 [...] Roof shape: not yet determined (no hip roof; rather modern like staggered shed roof, flat roof or simply gable roof)

... I can hardly imagine it fitting together well - is the reference neighborhood really blessed with such diverse roofs?

Shed roof, hipped roof, and gable roof are present. Flat roof not or only on one school and a swimming pool nearby. However, the architect said that a flat roof should also be approved with the justification of a photovoltaic or solar system. But we tend not to go for a flat roof anyway, since we really like the idea of a ridge-high open living room. Flat roof is somewhat pointless.

I will write a more detailed explanation about the property tonight. Right now the two little ones are running around and I can’t get anything done. Just briefly, putting the garage on the other side would take away the light in the basement for child 3. The property to the northeast is excavated level with the street, to the southwest the neighbor is on a slope. Therefore it is easier for us to get light into the basement from the northeast. We would simply keep the 3 m minimum distance and then dig out everything on the northeast side up to the rear edge of the house and build a retaining wall there to hold back the slope above the house. The garage on the southwest side should also hold back the slope and we would already gain quite a bit of level surface for a terrace on the flat roof. I will post pictures of the property tonight for better understanding.

I played around a bit with colors in the site plan and hope this makes the property situation clearer. The neighbor to the northeast has completely straightened his property (resulting in an approximately 6 m high wall at the back to support the slope). We now want to build as close as possible to the northeastern property boundary (marked green) and excavate at ground level there as well, so that the basement gets light not only from the front street side (marked yellow) but also from the northeast. This allows us to provide light for Child 3 in the basement. Therefore, the garage should not be on the northeastern side, as it would block light again. Also, we do not want a large garden area to the northeast, which is why there is the idea to position the house as close as possible to the boundary in the northeast. The neighbor to the southwest (boundary marked red) has roughly the same slope as we do on the property. The main part of our garden is intended to face southwest (evening sun) and is marked grey. The garage on the southwest side of the house should retain part of the slope and save us from building a large retaining wall to create flat space in the garden. Is this understandable? Is the property situation perhaps clearer now and our ideas regarding the positioning of the house?
