Manufacturing S-shaped facade - construction method

I recommend that you shamelessly upload simple scribble sketches first, as it serves its purpose for criticism.

I would think about decorating and styling the house later. The idea of developing the house based on optical effects from examples you have fallen in love with is understandable, but it is putting the cart before the horse.

Experience shows that the arrangement of rooms usually already leads to a building that no longer requires a forced linearity to be distinguishable from the houses of the Linkshubers, Rechtsmosers, and Visavismaiers.

What kind of stylistic differences would even be discussed there?

Personally, I’m already grateful if the styles don’t mix within a single house. Franconian Tuscan Frisian Bauhaus mogined.

Like many others here, I have already created my room program and positioned the orientation of the individual rooms on the property. Due to a few special requests, such as the kitchen facing the valley side, living room and bedroom with a view of the forest, and access from the north (thus no stairs on the exterior), a first scheme has already emerged. When I heard about the various floor plan programs as freeware, I have already invested a few hours.

The styles range from the classic 1.5-story gable roof house to the city villa, Bauhaus style, and the shed roof. A log mountain house can also be seen a few streets away.

We prefer a style with clear lines and structures. This should also be reflected in the interior. True to the motto "less is more."

What I wanted to say is: it is significantly easier to bring a core building structure into a desired style - almost regardless of whether groovy / funky / vintage / postmodern etcetera - than to start from a look and go crazy trying to find a possible static solution for it and end up despairing that some room just doesn’t fit. Then you squeeze five bends into a utility room to fit the favorite Viebrock on a plot that is, no matter how you twist and turn it, stubbornly 80 cm too narrow ;-)

Do not underestimate the earthworks on a slope. Supports, foundations, drainage... everything a bit more expensive. This can quickly add up to a six-figure surcharge.

I’ll try to get a site plan soon and maybe take a few photos. It’s not exactly a slope. The gradient from north to south is already intercepted by the neighbor. (This has to be discussed structurally and with the neighbor.) The gradient from west to east (east street side) needs to be checked. That’s why I want to build with a basement, which would probably have to be made from reinforced concrete. So it might be that no retaining wall is needed.

It’s not quite easy to describe this here. In the picture there is also a sketch that might illustrate it a bit better.

As you can also see from the picture, the property is currently a “flat slab,” only to the east there is a meadow embankment about 2–3 m high. That’s why the wood can still stand there at the moment.

The path in the northwest is a field path that is rarely used.

For your information: The picture is oriented north!

This is not a slope. Everything is within the normal range.
