Floor plan optimization single-family house on a slope, single-story + basement

The view is indeed the garage side, the living area goes towards the back towards the slope? It’s not just snow, ice, or frost like here for the past 2 weeks. So with us, you would already be sliding or spreading salt.

I estimate the costs for the driveway, ramp to be six-figure with retaining, earthworks, etc. Every excavator bucket costs. If the terrace is deeper, more has to be dug out, retaining walls higher, etc. Everywhere the cash register rings. For us, the structural engineer alone added more than 30k to the estimate.

If you plan a seating area, wellness area, playground, utility garden, etc. higher up, have it laid out now. Also plan access for vehicles. You still have quite a lot. If you have to cut out or even fell the trees, it will be tedious with wheelbarrows.

I find Ypg’s idea for the entrance area good.

So I estimate that for us, the slope with outdoor facilities has already cost 70k more than a comparable project on flat land. Earthworks and retaining were partly already done as it was already built on.

About the height information: Do you mean those of the slope?

I miss height information in the floor plans and in the site plan, they are each very sparse. The access road only has gradients in percentages, but without indications of the absolute heights at the points where the gradient changes.

In principle, we have a basement, ground floor, and attic.

Here there is NO ground floor at all. The entrance floor is the basement, on which a first floor lies without connection to the terrain. Human visitors use the access road. At there is a basement with similarities, but there, in my opinion, more attractive variants of access to the entrance also for pedestrian visitors were discussed.

first of all thanks for all the input.

I estimate the costs for driveway, access ramp to be six-figure including underpinning, earthworks etc.
every excavator bucket costs money. If the terrace gets deeper, more has to be dug out, retaining wall higher etc. Everywhere the cash register rings.
For us alone, the structural engineer added over 30k on top of the estimate.

Then we should actually ask again here, at the moment about 60k are budgeted for it.

If you still plan a seating area, wellness area or playground, utility garden etc. further up, have it installed now. Plan also an access for vehicles. you have quite a lot. If you have to prune or even fell the trees, it will be cumbersome with a wheelbarrow.

The vehicle access was one reason for the placement of the garage, so you can still get past the side of the house.

The view is the garage side, the living area faces the back towards the slope, right?

I attached two pictures of the property. Unfortunately, we don’t have one taken from the height where the house will be.
The picture downhill is from higher up than where the house stands. From the kitchen we would see quite exactly the neighbor’s house opposite (black beam).
The picture uphill is from the street. Here we are a bit higher and can see all the way up.

I attached two pictures of the property.

Forget it. Pictures on which, apart from the grass being green, NOTHING is visible – at least for someone who wasn’t there and hasn’t seen the perspective, the camera settings, and how upright the photographer stood, so would now need reference points for orientation, but all of those are blacked out – this doesn’t help at all. People, google "Friesenhausentscheidung" before you’re afraid of being shot because other people’s houses are in the picture. Otherwise, I’m happy to help, but everything has its limits. I can’t work like this, it’s driving me nuts. With all due respect, really no.

the pictures were the answer for Haydee regarding the view.

Unfortunately, we only have the information that I gave you in my first response.
Those were the details we received from the Surveying Office.
If the section image would help you, I can try to upload it in better quality.

Street: 678m elevation.
Basement: approx. 681.5m
Upper floor: 684.5

Thank you for the pictures. I also lack the imagination to make use of the pictures. I feel the same as 11ant.
