New single-family house approx. 150 m² with basement garage

UG OK EG is very unpleasant. Huge living room and tiny kitchen and dining room. Also a strange shape. Simply does not fit. OG with enclosed dressing room and shower that definitely does not work, as it is only 1.50m high In total, the house is completely oriented towards the north. Very sad. We basically have the same shape of plot. Street to the south and then the slope rising. Retaining wall to the south and fill up to at least have some south garden. Subsequently, of course, also align the rooms towards the south, i.e. kitchen and dining room to the south, living room to the north. Please do NOT build the house as currently planned under any circumstances. That is completely wrongly oriented. I cannot understand why some people like this here

So first of all: there are far worse hang-floor plans in terms of the layout. But I always find it very unfortunate when the house visually does not follow the slope – here it already looks somewhat placed..., with a frame, meaning the basement. This is due to the general contractor’s planner: he does not plan freely, but adapts the standard houses of his general contractor somewhat to the customer. 40 degrees for a roof on a house on a slope – chapeau ;) small KS – chapeau ;) If indeed not much more should be changed, I would at least plan the cloakroom generously in the basement and not on the ground floor. Also consider reducing the size of the living room in favor of the kitchen/dining area. The kitchen is drawn unrealistically and needs a proper island with depth. In the upper floor, the walk-in closet as it is doesn’t help much. Possibly fill in on the west side and also add a terrace door there... laundry chute would be an issue... Windows, also an issue. They look very narrow to me. Pay attention to the west side! If you still have time, either have a new plan made by an independent architect (who knows about slopes). It should have a flatter roof, thus accommodating the slope more, and include a garden opening on the west side. I would probably forgo one level (meaning bungalow plus basement) and stretch the house longer so that there is more connection to the garden. If you look at the site plan, you have enough space on the property to also use the front south as garden access... Then also more size for the dining area again, storage room also on the sleeping level, and consider whether laundry would be better placed on the sleeping level. But a realistic bungalow on a slope would have the utility rooms in the slope at the rear of the lower level, and just one staircase already has a lot of value. The more I write, the more I have to say that this is the wrong house on the property. It feels like a foreign body.

I have already seen significantly lazier standard designs adapted to slopes. But the house feels like a foreign body because you can see that it was planned without love for the property. I would not let the terrace cut into the mountain so straight and horizontal, nor place the eaves lower on the valley side than on the mountain side. The color change between the gray pants and the white shirt also unflatteringly emphasizes that the building does not gladly embrace the slope. Pulling the "consequence" from both the northeast rear side and the southwest balcony side to connect the living space through the entire house depth also seems like a very tortured stroke of genius. My conclusion is therefore: although "not everything is bad," a radical reset to 0000.

Also please enter exact and actual room and furniture dimensions here, then the wrinkled areas will be quickly identified. The bathroom on the upper floor is not yet planned very nicely.

The house itself makes a pleasing impression, but I also have a few question marks regarding the dining area, kitchen size, bathroom, and dressing room. Now a house also stands on a plot of land—and here there seems to be little consideration of light, lines of sight, and topography. The slope is overcome rather than utilized. Daylight—doesn't matter. How is the plot supposed to be designed / used? Whatever. The employee of the [GU] may have studied architecture and can plan houses, but obviously focuses more on his employer’s budget planning than on a purposeful engagement with his client. In my opinion, an architect must accompany his client in decision-making and open up perspectives that the client cannot recognize as a layperson. This seems to be missing here.

I notice, among other things:
- Shower only 1 m x 1 m. There should be more space, right(?)
- Long walking distances from the kitchen to the pantry
- Dressing room too small

If the planning allows, I would have the garages protrude halfway out of the main structure and plan a terrace above them. But that depends on the budget and the property. Of course, also on taste ...
