Floor plan design single-family house on south-facing slope

Oh, a whirlpool is supposed to be included as well. Then you definitely need a bit more space for the bathing fun corner. Maybe something like this:



But honestly, those are a lot of wishes and 600 grand is no small change. Find yourself a proper architect. One who deserves the title. So far, it's all been a bit of a mess. Check the references or example plans beforehand. If the quality doesn’t stand out significantly, move on to the next one, and so on.

...I would try it with another architect. However, it doesn't help if you go with the previous planning.

Do you think I should find a new architect who plans freely again or ask the existing one to revise it? Of course, he will want to know exactly what to change. I'm going in circles.

Yes, that would be my opinion. A GUkann rarely offer what a freelance architect can. You can also tell the architect "do it again, I don't like it."

Your wording doesn’t allow for anything other than your circle.

I would actually consider why a two-person household needs two whirlpools or a guest room needs access to a balcony.
In this respect, it would be worth considering whether the entire wellness area might actually be accommodated upstairs in the bedroom and main bathroom. Sauna with balcony access makes more sense.

The teenager in the basement, with 1.5 rooms, shower bath, and refrigerator. When he moves out, the room can be used for guests.
Office on the ground floor, short distance from the sofa to the PC.
Of course, you have to know for yourself how you want it, but I find it a more sensible arrangement.

Here is an approach for the south garage, front door in the east:








Oh, south is to the left on the plan,
I wasn’t exactly sure about the regulation for gables and dormers. Are the eaves allowed to be higher there? Otherwise, the children’s room would need to be adjusted a bit – but that does not change the idea.

Thank you very much for your effort and the proposals.

I have some questions and remarks regarding this, which I have handwritten onto the floor plans and attached to this post. Essentially, I am wondering whether, based on the excerpt from the development plan also attached, a gable in that form may be built at all, since "roof extensions" must have a minimum distance of 1.5 m from the lower roof edge. According to building law, is a gable considered a roof extension?

To explain again why the double garage with a terrace on top: In my opinion, it doesn’t make sense if the terrace is down in the garden at basement level and the kitchen is on the ground floor. I believe that the terrace must be accessible from the ground floor, where the kitchen is located. By the way, I have already found people who share this view.

whether one is even allowed to build a gable in that form due to the excerpt from the development plan included, since "roof structures" must have a minimum distance of 1.5 m from the lower roof edge.

No idea. I already wrote that I don’t know either if that’s allowed with the gable issue. Maybe knows?

In my opinion, it makes no sense if the terrace is down in the garden at the basement level and the kitchen on the ground floor.

So I think we all agree on that so far. The terrace at ground floor level is actually undisputed, since you want to build a kind of wellness temple in the basement.
The only problem is that with the driveway you take away the possibility to plant some tall bushes in front of the terrace so that not all passers-by stare at your cake plate. I really only see the option now of putting a vine next to the garage that then grows up and covers the terrace railing. But climbing plants on a new house is its own topic.

Regarding the remarks:
Basement:
- The staircase is a landing staircase measuring 2.20m x 2.90m.
- Whirlpool see last drawing. How big is a large gym for you? About 6m² is enough for me. My mat is 2m x 0.6m plus some space around for jumping and hopping.
- yes, in the middle there is a large floor-to-ceiling window so that the hallway gets light. It also visually enlarges the room.
- You can come up with the garage design yourself. That’s a man thing.
Don’t forget, I’m a layman. For the statics I also ask the structural engineer.
- My program can’t calculate m² numbers – as I’ve said before… that’s why there are only exterior measurements so you know approximately where you move.

Ground floor:
- A window at the stairs must be there. I shamelessly just put it there if it has to be. But you can also shift it in height so that it lies on the landing level. But such details, in my opinion, go too far here for a sketch.
- The guest needs a French balcony, that’s true.
- On the ground floor the bay window would be unproblematic. As I said, the roofing details first have to be figured out by someone.
- All heights correspond to the numbers I used in #43. The house is smaller than the one from your planner. Therefore, I see no danger for the floor area ratio (hoping at least they can do that). Roof pitch = 35°.
- Pantry: I originally wanted a narrow one on the north side. But then there’s no island anymore. I decided for the island. So if you prefer pantry, the island goes out and the cabinets move about 1.80m south.
Alternatively, one could also consider making the entrance area a little roomier and integrate the wardrobe there. Then the current wardrobe would be used as storage.
- WF stands for Windfang (vestibule).

Upper floor:
- You interpreted the height lines right. But whether they are exactly correct – I don’t know precisely. I use trigonometric functions to estimate and round a bit.
- Knee wall is the 55cm from #43
- I think dragging the shower below the 2m line is nonsense. And even more so creating a dirt collecting corner behind it.
- Yes, I generously offset the sides by 1.20m. With such a shallow roof you’ll never crawl there. Best orient yourself on the 2m line. The space remains unused. At most, you can hide a pipe behind it.
- I don’t see an immediate added benefit for room usage if you add more dormers, except of course for the light. But in the bedroom, I wouldn’t know where to put the bed anymore. But of course one could think about it, sure. I always forget that we don’t need to save on that.

That has little to do with the other, because nowhere does it say where a kitchen and where a terrace are to be built. What you do: You think something and believe it can't be different. Then you write these "stipulations," so that nothing else can come out.

Write a room program with "Terrace please next to kitchen and dining," "walk-in dressing room from the bedroom," fitness and wellness. What you write: "Garage in the south" and mean by that "kitchen next to terrace." Many do that. For example, I have no idea about technology, want it to be cheaply warm in the house. Here it would be wrong to write "Gas heating I would like," because I only know gas instead of "effective heating." Understand? Give the architect NO restrictions – he has to be allowed to do it himself. Look, I could also put something on paper, but I don't, because you are always fixated on this garage. I could never please you, just like Katja, who however uses this construct. Maybe a good architect will also consider exactly this option to be the right one, but you have to wait for his expert opinion and not prescribe it to him. Maybe he still has a really great idea in store?! The garage can also be accessed from the east, for example...
