Plot arrangement & orientation Single-family house with 160 sqm south-facing slope

Price estimate according to architect/planner: 700 k EUR

Who is the price estimate from?

Who is responsible for the planning? Do-it-Yourself + building planner

And who is responsible for the planning?

Space requirements on the ground floor, upper floor = ground floor 88 sqm, upper floor 78 sqm
Office: family use or home office? = Both, home office is supposed to be in the basement.

Garage, carport = double garage with basement access

That makes a space requirement including the basement of 260 sqm?! And if it’s only 250 sqm, then you are looking at costs of 750 thousand plus extensive earthworks plus an elaborate garage with basement access, so another additional underground cost and risk point due to a connection of two buildings – in other words, close to a million. And for that, there is a 2D DIY plan here!

- then the house has to be sunk deeper. That is not nice since we would actually like an outdoor area that is rather elevated.

What do you mean? Sink the ground floor or the basement?

Neighbor development = right side is already built. Very close with 2.5 m distance.,

Then one should possibly check where their heights are.

What do you particularly like? Difficult, it is simply a big compromise.
What do you dislike? It is a compromise.

Unfortunately, we currently do not see the compromise in what is happening in the house planning.
Are you aware that the terrace will be one floor higher than the entrance?

Is there a requirement in the development plan regarding how far the garage must be set back from the street?

Why go so high?

The house 12*8m is definitely better than 10*10m. Not going so far into the slope saves a lot of costs and results in more garden space on top.

For illustration.



The effort to dig the garage in so deep is enormous. The blue line represents the 10%. Green is existing terrain about 19%. Brown is future terrain with my proposal.

The basement should be omitted.
The garage is 5 m away from the street.

The basement should be left out.

Do you also have the open-plan room with terrace on the upper floor?

Do you also have the open space with terrace on the upper floor?

That's how it should be. It might even make sense to move the garage to the other side and then use the roof as a terrace, if it is really supposed to be on the west side. We'll see what the architect says about that.

Embedding the 10-meter-long garage at the boundary is probably the stroke of genius. The neighbor will be thrilled.

Contour lines would be helpful, the individual measurement points seem arbitrarily chosen and are not consistent in the overall view. According to them, the terrain would be, to put it nicely, hilly and confused. The road seems to have a partly opposite slope to the property. The road line is supposed to be the main reference for elevation; the building boundary, on the other hand, should be at +2.00, although, for example, it is 95 cm higher. Were there floor plans in the opening post before the "edit by a moderator"?
