Hello Wastl,
Maybe I was a bit unclear. The terrace is going to be on the east side (the east side has the kitchen and the living room on the upper floor - see Obergeschoss.jpg). The house is supposed to be built into/against the hillside. Therefore, the ground floor (except for the light well of the utility room) has no window on the east side. You enter directly from the living/dining room through the terrace door onto the upper part of the property (so there is no need for a transition via suspension bridge :)).
Yes – the terrain is flat to the south – but here there is only 6 m distance to the neighbor’s garage. In addition, from the street (to the west) you are somewhat on display.
As you described, some of the neighbors built this way (just without a suspension bridge). They positioned the house “next to” the embankment so that the earth wall rises directly at the house front (east) and they look out from their living room, which is classically on the ground floor, directly onto an earth wall. How they will use the upper part of the property is not yet clear?
I can already see that I will probably have to follow katho’s suggestion and upload the views after all.
By the way, my wife (a trained landscape gardener) wants to build an additional staircase later on in the outdoor area from the lower to the upper part of the property. She has her ideas (with wooden planks or something similar). I’ll wait and see.
