Floor plan - plot for a single-family house, slight slope approx. 175m²

What would you have advised us, , if we were still "free"?

Well, as already mentioned, this is really a split-level property for me. The reason is mainly the small size. The staircase with the entrance platform would be my second option. Dietmar’s sketch may look nice, but it does not show reality. He should please draw the street as well! Then it quickly becomes clear that the entire property would have to be retained on the street side. Apart from the fact that this is very expensive, it would also create more or less a kind of "concrete crypt."

Why split? On larger plots, you can often gently compensate and taper off half-level height differences in the building envelope by land modeling. But if there are only 3m up to the boundary, no gentleness is possible. Then a wall must go in. Maybe someone else has a better idea. The pros at Bien-Zenker should advise you! If they even have a special "slope department" – perfect! Let them show what’s possible.

Two things that I think should generally be said about this: 1. Anyone who buys a hillside property (and this is one) should not expect to get by without stairs. That would be quite unrealistic. The question also remains how steep the slope in the building envelope actually is in the end. We are only estimating here based on your contour lines. 2. Draw a side view of your property on graph paper with the slope to the millimeter. Then take a rectangle with the base dimensions of your house and lay it on top. You definitely need to get a feel for your land. In particular, the location of the terrace must be fixed in the end, preferably without water collecting there later or you having to jump down 1m from your terrace doors (all of which has happened before).

Regarding the carport: is it really allowed to be located directly on the street? That is quite rare for something like this to be permitted. Please read again carefully what is stated in the [Bebauungsplan].

How old are the children?

About the carport: is it really allowed to stand directly by the street? That is quite rare to be permitted. Please read again exactly what the development plan says about it.

It says so here: [ATTACH alt="Screenshot_20230217_230745_Drive.jpg"]78310[/ATTACH] Is the carport then allowed by the street?

I will have to see in which instance the "slope department" will then come into play. At least we are already getting a bit of insight from you. And when the land can eventually be surveyed and we officially know where the reference point for the building height is, the planning will only then become really concrete.

The choice of the sloped plot was not exactly intentional – it was rather after years of searching the first thing we were actually able to get... of course, we are not surprised by the circumstances – but we can try to somehow bring our wishes together with the property ;-) The idea with the millimeter paper and a template is already on the agenda!

but try to somehow combine our wishes with the property,

Then make sure you don't get too tangled up when you vehemently defend and enforce one wish, e.g., to enter the house on the ground floor, which then probably leads to several negative points. Better to accept a drawback and keep the rest stylish. A sloped lot is already a stylish thing: it prevents you from building a boring city villa. If you decide on a split-level, you will definitely build WITH the property and make the best of it.

Here is another layout with an external staircase, which might be somewhat more appealing:

House rotated and shrunk to 1.5 stories – due to budget and also visually, in my opinion, more tolerable. Carport directly in front at street level. The roof shape would probably have to be a gable roof then. I haven’t included that here yet. Maybe the whole structure could be shifted further south so that parking the car is easier around the corner. I come to just under 11 m in width here. Bien-Zenker can surely pull something out of the drawer that roughly corresponds to this.

Here this could fit well: CONCEPT-M 152 model house Pfullingen - mirrored once.
Looks quite chic with a slightly higher knee wall:
