Floor plan revision, tips and experiences for improvement?

We cannot plan a sensible granny flat like this if all the rooms at the back are dark. Furthermore, the technical room would then be at the back corner, which would mean the greatest distance from the street. I also do not want the technical room directly next to a bedroom because you can hear the noises somewhat, especially with the ventilation system. Then getting two children's rooms, a bedroom, and the bathroom into reasonably bright rooms, I consider impossible. Therefore, I would prefer to take a better layout than direct access to the terrace, which I would only use on hot days anyway.

You do realize that it only works somewhat like that.









But it will also become several tens of thousands more expensive.

I already had some ideas about the GR. Unfortunately, I am not the expert there.

Entrance and stairwell will then be the challenge if it should become 2 residential units.

Therefore, I would rather choose a better floor plan

Yes, ok!

But why do you ask ..

Would you

or set the house a bit higher to get more light for the rooms in the back, fewer problems for an ELW,

.. here again to us ..

Therefore, I would have been interested in your opinion on my question. Better exit in the back or bright rooms?

.. if you can decide that yourself and have argued it well and convincingly for yourself with #84?

You should check off a point for yourself, define the matter, and then build further on this decision.
This concerns the location of the house, then roughly the positioning of the garage/carport, and then the floor plan within the house.

Many here do not really see the ELW as feasible either.

Maybe also consider that a lot of earth has to be moved for building a house on a slope. One can also reasonably think that the slope and the plot do not necessarily lie in a straight line against the house and do not have to. If I absolutely want a proper window somewhere instead of a strip of light or a basement window shaft, the earth can be modeled. The same applies to a seating platform (let's call it north terrace here, because one cannot judge for oneself how a covered east terrace is) – this seating platform can, if desired, be dug in at ground floor level or raised. Yes, this will not be done everywhere where it is not sensible, but where only one meter is missing, I will make sure to get that meter exactly where it is needed.

With defined slope issues, I prefer to stay out as long as there is no section, no elevation points, and no site plan with contour lines.

So it feels like your ideas and wishes simply don’t fit the property overall. Maybe you need to mentally discard everything and rethink it, also regarding which rooms may/must be on which floor, etc. I don’t have it in mind right now... are you allowed to add another floor and just don’t want to, or are you not allowed?

One more floor greatly increases the house construction costs and creates space that we do not want. We would like to have only what is really needed, and on two floors we can fit everything. The property fits well with our ideas of two residential units, the claim is nonsense. More useful for us would be tips on where to position which room in the [UG], or as described above, to shape the terrain. I can make use of that, thank you for it.

I don't know why you are reacting so sharply to my post. By the way, that was not a claim on my part, but the expression of a feeling that arose in me during the course of the thread, recognizable by the word "gefühlt".
