Hello everyone,
thanks a lot already for the feedback. Especially such hints like "fall protection, drainage,..." were exactly what I meant with "weird ideas," things you don't usually think about. I actually wanted to place the office next to the living room on purpose. I am in the office in the evenings and my wife is in the living room, so an office should at least be close to the living areas.
The access is from the street.

Maybe a few more additions:
- We don’t want a balcony – unnecessary fuss :-)
- Garden and terrace are actually more "optional things," a small terrace to sit outside in summer would be nice
- We currently have a condominium in the middle of town – but it has become a bit too small for us and also a bit too hectic

An (honestly meant) question: why no walk-through rooms? You hardly ever have to go into the utility room anyway, so it doesn’t really matter how you get there, right? At least that was my thought :-)

Because of the slope, there would be the possibility of access on the other side ("uphill") with entry to the upper floor.
We will also take the next step and go to an architect. From the first talks with house providers, it quickly became clear to us that it won’t be anything from the standard portfolio anyway.

Passageways need walkways and 2 doors. 2 doors missing wall space Walkway = hallway, just not noticeable. Why no terrace? There are such nice stylish options that are more like living rooms than gardens. Where does this almost aversion to the outdoors come from?

That is a very good idea. With the budget, I would build something really nice there. Find an architect who has experience and references with slopes.

Then you are welcome to upload the drafts here.

Your own effort says better avoid DIY.

The statement street = building line confuses me a bit in a village. Does that apply to the house or only to the garage or carport?

Depending on the door variant, walk-through rooms also have less usable space (in addition to the points mentioned by haydee). Especially critical for your technical room. You will already need the exterior wall completely for the house transition points for water, electricity, possibly gas and media. Minimum distances must be observed here. Then you need distribution cabinets, controlled residential ventilation, heating, buffer, etc. Now network is added. It is not exactly quiet either. It should therefore be very well ventilated but at the same time as soundproof as possible. So sliding doors are ruled out. If the terrace is not needed, I would rather use it as an enclosed room. I also find the comment from good. The roof shape does not matter at first.

Am I the only one stumbling over the obvious disproportion between plot size and desired living/usable area? Subtracting 3m clearance spaces all around leaves 8.8m x 15.8m. Minus wall portions etc., that's about 100 sqm per floor to reach the desired 200 sqm with a maximum of two full floors... and the plot is then completely full! Parking spaces, access paths, trash bins, etc. have not even been considered, let alone a terrace. Staggered floors make everything even worse. My subjective opinion: for an imposing house, you need a more imposing plot. On a small plot, you build a restrained, compact house.

I can understand the argument "2 doors = walking path = hallway," thanks also for the note about the technical room and the distances.

Don't get me wrong: no aversion to "outside," actually quite the opposite: we have a hobby that takes place very close to nature & is quite time-consuming on weekends (golf), and in nice weather we sit on the terrace - working in our own garden only costs us time that we would rather spend differently. But of course: a small terrace with a grill and at least space for two armchairs should be there, and I have nothing against a bit of greenery.

Regarding the building line: it indeed means "house = on the street." All houses in the village are directly on the street, usually even without a sidewalk (or with a mini-sidewalk in the village center). @Hangman: Attention - no setback area on the street side due to the building line.
