Floor plan design for a hillside house with 5 children's rooms

Mh I just noticed, I even drew it with 11m. No, that really doesn't fit. But maybe something can still be adjusted there...

The problem I see in your sketch is that already with a 1-meter hallway living space is wasted, 2.5 meters will eat up space in the bedrooms. Your room 5 will probably completely disappear or be the size of a storage closet.

You will certainly be able to adapt the house size to the plot, but it’s also about the costs, wasting unusable square meters in the floor plan is money thrown away.
At 1800/sqm you can quickly calculate where you will end up.

And if you don’t place it directly at the front edge of the building envelope, it’s even allowed to be a bit wider.

In this building envelope, it can also have projections or even adapt to its trapezoidal shape.

How is your implementation of the suggestion going, to divide the spatial program into more than 2.0 floors?

The spatial arrangement, as shown in the sketch with added wall thicknesses, would fall outside the building envelope, and shifting it to a slightly wider spot will hardly change that significantly.

There is no "dimensional budget" within the rooms from which wall thicknesses could be deducted. So that probably won’t work, and another distribution of rooms and floors must be found – likely on more than 2.0 floors due to the total area.

My suggestion remains a three-child floor (possibly with a practice room) as a future granny flat and above that a one-and-a-half-story unit sized for a two-child family.

Yvonne, there is really an incredible amount packed into a small space! Very important for us. Some things don’t quite fit with us, but I think I can take some inspiration from it. Unfortunately, the conventional floor plans are rather not suitable for us.

11ant, we have an appointment with the architect on the property tomorrow. I will bring up 3 living levels. Visually certainly very nice, but I can imagine it would then be more expensive. And managing a household for 7 people over 3 levels is more stressful than over 2.

Yes and no. A single-family house for five children would be a property far from the market and would also require an ideal plot as a city villa (in terms of the concept with 2.0 stories). Conversely, "conventional" hillside plot floor plans are quite usable for you, only they need to be thought of with a "family connection" to the granny flat.

Of course, those rooms that can be "on the edge" of family life should preferably be moved to a basement and/or attic floor. The utility room does belong to the household, but socially it is not as important to be close together as parents' and children's rooms.

If necessary, one may have to plan a bit unconventionally and, for example, spatially distribute "the bathroom," with a shower in the personal hygiene bathroom and a bathtub in the wellness bathroom (next to the roof terrace) or something like that. To a certain extent, there will be some inconvenience to endure, e.g., in the form of climbing stairs between the pantry and the kitchen.

It simply is not a bungalow plot.

Yes, while planning I of course noticed that the information is missing about whether you need a practice room, or if the age of the children might play a role. In addition, one would have to know whether a closed living room might be better, or whether cooking is done frequently and intensively at all.

If you like, you can write some more info so that I can shift things around once more before I delete the plan in the software again.

It is actually supposed to "only" serve as inspiration, but the more information one has, the more effective the tinkering would be.

Best regards, Yvonne
