Unfortunately, quoting is not possible because you wrote in my quote.
There is a basement (just like in your plan) and a lower ground floor with living spaces.
Is the drawn slope the natural gradient?
On my parents' street, someone used the garage and the stairway as a retaining wall and built the house without a basement on top of it.
The disposal will not be easy.
I would not submerge the garage. Cloakroom, utility room in the basement. Staircase as proposed in the east.
Make better use of the lower ground floor and reduce the footprint.
Plan the terrace behind the house.
The entrance is not dark because it is illuminated by the window on the ground floor. It is narrow, you are right about that.
It wasn’t me. Still true. Behind the stairs is only dark.
