Requirements of the Clients
Style, roof shape, building type: Main residence with 2 granny flats (one in the attic, one smaller in the basement)
Basement, floors: Basement, Ground floor, Upper floor, Attic
Number of persons, ages: 1975m, 1980w, 2007m (mostly lives with partner from first marriage), 2009w, 2019m, (expected 2020m/w)
Space requirement on ground and upper floors: from 200 m²

Garage, carport: 3 garages, 2 parking spaces
Utility garden, greenhouse: A level garden is to be created on the garages, with lawn and some bushes around.
Other wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should not be:
House Design
Who designed it: Do-it-Yourself
What do you especially like? Why? Plot with significant slope, yet a level garden on the garages. Granny flat 1 with separate access from above.
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 1 million EUR in a larger city in Bavaria
Preferred heating technology: Heat pump with photovoltaics on the roof surface facing southwest
If you have to do without, which details/extensions could you forgo: Gable windows in the attic
Why is the design as it is now? We want to use the (expensive) plot as efficiently as possible
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters? Where are mistakes? Suggestions for improvement? Is the water pipe situation to the bathrooms and kitchens sufficient or do I need to redesign it?
Unfortunately, I can’t properly draw the terrain in this architectural program. If needed, I can scan a section drawing to make it clearer. The garden on the left of the house and above the house with the outside staircase will certainly be designed quite differently. So far, no lawn area is drawn in either.
Many thanks in advance for many inspiring ideas

Other wishes/special features/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should not be:
[*]Ground-level family access through the garage via a ramp into the basement. Guest entrance on the right to the ground floor.
[*]Access for granny flat 1 directly into the attic via an outside staircase. This unit has a separate access from above (north) with garage and parking space (see overview plan)
[*]Granny flat 2 with direct access via the private road into the basement and garage on the left at the property boundary
[*]Since we are a large family, laundry is currently constantly in the living room. This should change, hence a generous utility room (with marked ironing board) on the ground floor and an additional ventilation system?
[*]The private road is used only by us and one further adjoining plot. There are quite a few trees all around, so there is not really a view.
[*]Large glass sliding doors from the dining room to the terrace/garden.
[*]Good sound insulation between attic/upper floor and ground floor/basement
