New single-family house with embankment - 3 designs

That’s roughly what I meant. 21.5 is truly not narrow. However, the alignment combined with the ugly garage wall is not optimal.

Hello, first of all many, many thanks for taking the trouble to help us. Now to your design: What advantage do you see in building the basement as a "half cellar"? Also, wouldn't the problem of the exceeded garage height still persist?

Hello, first of all, many, many thanks again for taking the trouble to help us. Now to your draft: What advantage do you see in building the UG as a "half basement"? Also, wouldn't the problem of exceeding the garage height still persist, right?

I don't know either. It just kept swirling in my head yesterday. And I still owed you confused ones an answer.
Throw the idea away or start something with it... if the slope is at the beginning of the property, I wouldn't fill up or anything...

You can wonderfully play with the differences in elevation. The first reflex is, of course, to shape the terrain so that you can plan and build "two-dimensionally." Here are a few incomplete lines of thought: 1. How can you achieve that both residential floors have ground-level access to the garden? (Example of capturing non-standard opportunities of a hillside terrain) 2. Which paths do I walk, and how important are they respectively? (Assess the importance of the paths from the garage) 3. Where will we as a family particularly like to spend time? (Define the living center - what is it? Cooking, eating, living, terrace...) 4. Where will the children play, and how can they pass by the adults' vehicles "accident-free" with their own vehicles? (Preserve family peace: You seem to care about the cars. Therefore, plan space for your children's paths to prevent damage and avoid wearing yourself out on them.) 5. Where is privacy important to me and in what way? (Visibility, noise level...) Plan with an architect who is truly eager about the task. They will get the most out of the property for you. Thinking three-dimensionally about building a house as a layperson is overwhelming.

Just roughly: I would give both the south side for the children's rooms. From the living room, I like to look into the garden, and in the kitchen, I can see who is coming home from the street while working. Stairs don't have to be straight. Compact landing or even spiral staircases help with floor plan planning.

Does the height restriction for the garage not apply to you from the reference point of the street?

Here are a few incomplete thought directions: 1. How can you achieve that both living floors have ground-level access to the garden? (Example to capture non-standard opportunities of a hillside terrain) 2. Which paths do I take and how important are they each? (Assess the importance of the paths from the garage) 3. Where will we particularly like to spend time as a family? (Define the life center – what is it? Cooking, eating, living, terrace...) 4. Where will the children romp around and how do they get "accident-free" past the adults' vehicles with their own vehicles? (Maintain family peace: Cars seem important to you. Therefore, plan space for your children’s paths to prevent damage and not wear yourself out on them.) 5. Where is privacy important to me and in what way? (Visibility, noise level...) Plan with an architect who is really excited about the task. They will get the most out of the plot for you. For a layman, thinking about house construction three-dimensionally is overwhelming.

Hi, thank you very much for your input. Now to your answers: 1. Could you specify this answer? Do you perhaps mean a bungalow as a solution? 2/3/4/5. These are great objections that we have not yet fully thought through. We will do that now. Thank you.
