Floor plans of a single-family house on 640m² with low eaves height

Development plan sets 1 full floor. There is no such thing. No, slope to the east. Exactly the opposite. The basement would then be exposed to the NW and SW. NW is bad for living rooms and SW is bad because of the street. Sorry to disappoint you. The development plan is from 1979, which means the definition of the building code valid at that time applies, and back then it was 2/3, moreover related to the own footprint, so not to the one of the floor below. There are not so many here because the reference points, even if they are not described quite clearly in the development plan, are obviously not related to the terrain. IMHO knee wall = 0.

Thanks. I went by the eaves heights, ignoring reference points and the like. SW and NW are not necessarily bad for living rooms; we also have that. S SW street and NW garden. South Southwest is personally usually too warm for me. However, in the transitional season very pleasant. We also sit there more often then. Northwest living rooms, large windows, no covered terrace then the light is pretty good. Has the advantage that it is tolerable in summer. Street depends on how busy and at what times. In our case it gets noticeably quieter from 6 pm. So better street than 5 neighbors being in the garden at the same time. Street also helps maintain friendships during lockdown – fence beer was never forbidden in Bavaria. We have seating area in the south, in the northwest and soon also in the north. The northwest garden is play area, pool and lounge area. Sloping plots have potential. Take a look at our house (the most boring in the list), that of , or that of or who was it with the super split level? And we hopefully will have next year our absolutely secluded north terrace next to the sauna.

In summary, I basically see a bungalow here (knee wall zero and due to roof pitch also a lot of attic space, so weakly efficient to develop) with the basement not being fully exposed to avoid it becoming a full floor and thus also not appearing on the valley side as an urban villa. An experienced architect needs to be involved here to ensure that the utilization of the floor area ratio does not conflict with the avoidance of the basement becoming a full floor. That means the expansion will probably take place more in width than in depth ...

Sloping plots have potential. Take a look at our house (the most boring in the list), the one from @hampshire, @sichtbeton82 or from @rick2018 or who was it again with the super split level?

... which is why you cannot also take "the one with the super split level" ( ) as a role model, since in his example the house crosses the slope. doesn't have a split level at all, but is "the one with the buried submarine"

Haha, "Super Split Level"

Rick2018 hardly has any neighbors who have a view of his property. That he sank a submarine - is another matter. I just wanted to show what variety hillside properties offer. Whether it fits exactly to the OP or not. Hillside properties are neither a burden nor doomsday.

Haha, "Super Split Level"

One could envy you just for the kitchen TV box. The only (small) downside I see with your house is, if I recall correctly, the shape of the roof exit caused by the building authority lady. But in the Rococo period, the ladies also had a "beauty mark".

Yes, but now that the large plot next to us has been sold, the absurd interpretation of a full floor by the building authority lady actually benefits us. We've come to terms with it, and everything always has two sides.

Sorry for OT.
