Floor plan single-family house, 230 sqm living area, east slope, Bauhaus style

What you can afford and what you want to afford are different things.

I think we would rather not spend more than 1 million on the house. Is that concrete enough?

Sorry for the stupid question, just the house or house including incidental costs and modeled plot and garage?

In your case, it can very well be a difference of much >200k.

Exactly. That’s why there was the question in the questionnaire about the budget or the calculation, which unfortunately you didn’t address just now.

That is half concrete, see follow-up question.

I said in between that you can calculate for yourself what is possible. For me, the discussion about the 230 sqm or your approach is done. For many here as well, except for some who are still nitpicking on your approach of the statically complex million-euro villa on a slope, which makes the million-euro villa even more expensive. With the design or visualization by , it’s about even more money. I don’t understand why someone would do something like that like a bad architect who doesn’t pay attention to the client’s budget.

That will be added on top or apparently will have to be deducted from the budget. Not much is left for mega extras. 26 degrees is no small matter – whether with or without a serpentine driveway. I’d say this: not much is left for a villa, it will rather be a house.

! I don’t believe that you can get much more out of this thread right now unless you get exact figures for implementation from experts. At least one can say: the plot with this slope is not suitable for a simply built dream house. Much budget has to be spent on incidental construction costs and outdoor facilities, which one would rather invest in the house.

Sorry for the stupid question, just the house or house including ancillary costs and modeled land and garage? In your case, the difference can very well be >200k. Do you have a soil survey or a rough idea from the neighbors what kind of soil is present, because if there is any rotten rock there, all cost planning regarding excavation will go completely wrong. Is a pool an issue?

Are there only hedges/bushes or tall trees in the south that swallow all the light? In the current design, the proportions are not quite right yet, but many wishes can be read out such as pantry, dressing room, separation of utility room/technology. Would rethink it again.

Here everything is somewhat better elaborated. The floor plans are oriented to the north. The fitness room has been dropped, but it also fits into the guest room. The facade has the maximum window area for my taste. If I knew the surroundings, I could probably distribute that better. We would have liked the balcony on the upper floor to be much larger, but it should be enough for a few chairs or an outdoor shower. If the children's rooms become smaller and the staircase is moved, the parents' area can become even more luxurious.

I have now looked more closely at the floor plans. Thanks again for that!

However, my wife insists on positioning the children's rooms without access to the outside for safety reasons (please don't question it :)). I didn’t know that until now. Otherwise, I really like the room layout!

A few fundamental questions:
1) Positioning the front door centrally at the bottom is advantageous because a) of the reduced ascent b) the possibility to accommodate the hallway and wardrobe in the "less attractive" basement, thereby having maximum space available for the ground floor with living and dining areas. Or are there other reasons?
2) Is it generally inadvisable to have a separate fitness room given the dimensions and the space requirement (about 230 sqm of living space)?
3) In the floor plan, the technical and utility room is now located on the hillside side as in my draft. This was cited as one of many criticisms of my "draft". Is this purely a cost issue or are there other significant reasons to rather place these rooms on the valley side?
