Floor plan revision, tips and experiences for improvement?

For us, it would be important to get rid of the steep driveway and also have parking spaces for two cars in front of the house.

It is unclear what you call "steep." Example: If you build the garage under the house and the driveway goes 50cm below street level, you have an 8m driveway with a 6.25% gradient. Objectively, this is not a problem for driving on it, for safe parking, for getting in and out - you just have to remember the handbrake. The driveway is a functional requirement for the architect. There is certainly a solution.

The original plan had a raw value of 20% incline. Regarding the rest of the long discussion: you’re away for 1.5 days, and then there are so many pages! I don’t fully understand 100% what the current status is. What I last skimmed through read to me like a situation a la "back to square one". By that I mean: define must-haves. Look at what the plot dictates. Define possible nice-to-haves. Define space requirements. And then look, always under the premise of "what does the plot dictate", to create the best possible fusion from that. When I last wrote, hardly anything was known yet (just 5.5m slope alone is already a statement). Purely from my impression: the plot sounds great at first, despite or even because of the slope, now it’s about finding a house that fits it. (Ideally without a 20% driveway.) PS: As others have already written, I fear it will be necessary to adapt the wishes to the plot. A passage from garage to house will demand a high price with that slope. I would seriously consider whether that is a "must have".

I’m attaching the floor plans for the ground floor and basement in their current state. And a few considerations. We are still at the very beginning, but sometimes you just need feedback from a different perspective.

Uh, no, I haven’t seen the basement in either thread yet. Also, I would have at least overlooked any mention of a timber frame panel house here in the thread by – is the exclusion of the additional storey possibly based on the fact that the structural stability of the house is unknown? (an extension on a timber frame panel house is certainly not five cents easier than on a stone house!) When did you ( / ) actually want to tell us that we’re talking about the same house in two threads?

It might be better to plan the garage 2m away from the boundary. Otherwise, a retaining structure for the neighbor's driveway is needed.

Uh, no, I haven’t seen the KG in either thread yet. I would at least have to have overlooked any reference to a timber frame panel house here in the thread from – is the exclusion of the addition possibly also based on the fact that the structural integrity of the house is unknown? (an extension to a timber frame panel house is certainly not easier by a farthing than to a stone house!). When did you ( / ) actually want to tell us that we are talking about the same house in two threads here?

??? You’re probably mixing up the threads right now.

??? You must be confusing the threads right now.

I thought so too.
