Looking for ideas for a property on a slope

Are you only allowed to build single-story there, or have you thought about putting the bedrooms on the upper floor?

The development plan specifies eaves heights of 3 and 6m for our sides. Due to the unclear situation regarding the street layout, the terrain will probably result in 4 to 4.5 and 7 to 7.5m. A gable roof is prescribed. Unfortunately, the development plan has not yet been finalized through all regulations. This will probably be the case by the end of June. However, I want to obtain more detailed information, especially since for the upper floor [OG], a knee wall may or may not result. So far, it is only intended that a storage/playroom can be created there. Actually, we do not need 3 floors, but due to the slope situation, it was the idea of our architect to develop the basement [UG] and to design the upper floor [OG] as a storage/playroom, since the knee wall will probably be very low there.

I can't quite follow you? Should I rather not say anything to the architect and just let her do her thing?

A hillside property can offer so much more than a standard Flair 113. You’re already thinking about it, but these thoughts are – sorry for the expression – castrated! As already mentioned, the possibilities are somewhat expanded with a hillside. Of course, a hillside house, if you really make use of the possibilities, has the disadvantage of becoming more expensive. But you don’t have to overdo it with the freedom. If you allow that living isn’t always where the front door is and that you don’t always sleep upstairs, then everything is fine.

Understood. We have so far only written down criteria for what we want in the room program. In general, I would just like to roughly guess where the journey is heading before I lay out €100k for a plot of land. I don't want to be disappointed in the end if it is not as I had once imagined.

Hello Micha,

I would like to get some ideas from the internet on how to build something like this. I have already fed Google with so many search terms, but mostly you only get pictures of houses above the street (with a slope in the plot)

It will probably look similar later on to our building project from the attachment. Here you will find the separate granny flat on the ground floor, the living area in the basement, and the bedrooms in the attic. This rather rare room layout was requested by the family. The height difference from the ground floor entrance to the basement is a full 3.00 m.

Rhineland greetings

Wow, that is really unusual, it certainly wouldn’t be my choice. But maybe there are still interesting approaches from the architect. However, you are only being put obstacles in the way; if the garage could be significantly further back, the entrance situation in the basement would be suitable, but since it has to end at 12m, it is somehow unsatisfactory.
