hm.., I reread everything after your personal inquiry
We have already clarified that we are allowed to build at this height
We have a verbal commitment and would go to the municipality with the first exterior views to secure ourselves again here.
I am also very skeptical about this, as is of course. It may be that they initially approve everything. But at the moment, I assume there was a verbal commitment after an oral consultation or phone call. Therefore, it is highly likely that not everything was presented concretely and also not everything was questioned or checked on the authority’s side. Your “sketch” differs too much from the given numbers.
But even if that were the case: based on my few replies, it should be clear that I would not build _like that_.
The mental sketches for your house are based on a standard house without a hillside property.
There is the dream plot, but you only think in box form. That is not nice and actually not what “one” wants. You orient yourselves on houses and implementations that _do not have_ to be like that. Everything could be implemented much better if you allowed yourself the third dimension of the coordinate system.
In my opinion, a professional must intervene here who properly washes the mainstream standard out of the builders’ heads.
A house is not a standard product (yes, it often can be) and doesn’t have to be, even if you think blinkered. For me, this is not just throwing pearls (plot) before swine (builders), but also a betrayal of your own standard, which you cannot even know if you have not dealt with the backgrounds of house construction,
Thanks, it will not be a tower. When I get the views in the next days, I will post them here online.
The 6.5m are from the ground floor because that corresponds more closely to the natural terrain on average.
Still, it is a tower: two stories in the east, three in the south.
(It is no secret that for good reasons I wouldn’t even build 2!-story, because the facade in the garden is simply too high)
How would you, @K a t j a or you, @ypg arrange the rooms?
I would definitely avoid this height on the south side. You don’t want a house with this height, it also has no real added value if you get overwhelmed by one or two house walls in the manageable garden; you also don’t want to sit on any balustrade or other perch.
You seek closeness to the garden, open space, and not just as a line of sight.
For job reasons, I have seen quite a few houses, and the more valuable ones are those where you have floor windows to the garden. They don’t even cost more.
I would just forget the basement and lead the stairs from the entrance area in the north downwards. Place the living area there. On the ground floor, put the children’s rooms… however. Not only realized this a few years ago and implemented this possibility on her hillside property – some others as well. The basement nonsense on hillside property belongs to people who do not even remotely occupy themselves with “house,” but only think in squares. Sorry about that, but every beginning is difficult, yet decisive for direction.
