Single-family house as a terraced middle house on a slope - design

Hello René,
I don’t immediately understand your room layout.

The large bathroom is upstairs, but all the bedrooms are downstairs. As a "compensation," there is a mini bathroom downstairs, which doesn’t even offer storage space for clothes. Upstairs there is an additional guest WC. We are also planning two bathrooms + guest WC, but one of the bathrooms is "en suite." None of your bathrooms have this added value – I wouldn’t feel like cleaning three times then.

On top of that comes the problem that according to your assessment the main entrance is in the south – right next to your child’s (possibly quite openly visible?) bedroom, which therefore must not be very sensitive to noise or light if an outdoor lamp goes on at night or guests are seen off at the door.

There is no wardrobe by the main door either; rather, the hallway is probably so narrow that you have your shoes as a tripping hazard in the walking area. Or you take off your shoes upstairs first but carry all the dirt through half the house first.

Even if it doesn’t look quite easy space-wise at first because of the slope and maybe you really have to put the living room or kitchen into the slope for that: I would put sleeping upstairs and living downstairs.

It would also have the advantage that you can go directly from the living areas into the garden; then you might not even need a balcony and can save yourself the question of shading...

That's what I mean :)




UG is the basement, EG is the one under the roof ;)

Is the property in Aschaffenburg and the surrounding area? It somehow seems familiar to me, we had also looked at this one or a very similar one before.

Thanks for the hints, I have already made some notes about it and we will reflect on it again. It is true that the bathroom and bedrooms are not optimally arranged. For the first draft, we had set the priorities a bit differently, having a daylight bathroom AND living/dining/kitchen on the ground floor because the view is still somewhat more "open" there. In the basement, thanks to the slope, you can also see very far into the distance, but at the foot you already have houses standing that "block" the view, although that is already "blocking" at a high level.

No, it is in the greater Munich area.

Thanks for the sketch, it helps me understand your explanation better as a layperson. You drew a light well for the living area in the basement, if I understand that correctly? I would have liked that too, but the architect said that with the complete slope we might have insurance problems here regarding water from "above," meaning the north side. However, we did some brainstorming today and came up with one or two more ideas. I have to sketch myself and see how it looks. One idea was to place the south entrance entirely on one outer side and stretch the dining/living/kitchen area only on the front south side across the entire width of the house (minus the entrance area on the far left or right). This way, we would have the north side for the basement and utility room, and upstairs the space for the rooms with bathroom. When it comes to placing the living room on the north side in the basement, I already encountered strong resistance because she likes to read on the couch and, of course, the living room is always darker then. We just love it bright.

since she likes to read on the couch and of course it naturally gets darker in the living room. We just love it bright.

Who doesn’t love it bright? But everyone has to suffer a little death who is restricted by the development plan ;)
You can read on the ground floor/upper floor on the gallery :)

Is there anything against the kitchen in the North?
