Single-family house, moderate slope, rocky path to the first draft

Living spaces in the basement have nothing to do with a cellar. They are not dark, not musty, not damp. Cellars without windows that are not of living space quality are hardly needed anymore. Who is still self-sufficient and needs oil tanks? I'm with you on that. Pushing an unused floor under a house or doing extreme fills is money burned.

I don’t understand why the architect refuses to plan the front of the house. You don’t like the arrangement in the open-plan area – me neither. The long walk between the car and the house. Day after day, in wind and weather, with every year the kilo of flour feels heavier.

The outside area must be planned as well. Terraces created, retaining walls, etc. The house might possibly absorb part of it. If you want flat surfaces for a playground, dining, utility garden, etc., plan 100 k for landscaping or activate the friendship with Hermann who is a mason and can operate an excavator.

We have 8 x 13 m, so 50 cm narrower again, and a similarly L-shaped open space – meaning living-dining-kitchen. Still, we have the dining area and living room next to each other, with the kitchen then – arranged lengthwise – around the corner. It works very well even at 8 m, so your 8.50 m is more than enough, I think. If the beautiful view is to the south, I WOULD leave the house back there. But I am also a good walker and an absolute garden lover ;)

Are there also exterior views of the house? It looks like there is a lot of glazing. Overall, I think it is quite successful. I just wonder where the cupboards at the very top of the bedroom are supposed to be?

wow I would have estimated it to be wider based on the pictures

The model house from Hanse Haus in Bad Vilbel, I think, is similarly wide.

The problem is not now with the path from garage to house, but when one is older. Not everyone at 70 who is still fit wants to change their living space

- wow !!! Mega help - and great all-purpose room !!! Thank you!

Hello The facade is not planned yet. But you are right, in many areas there is a lack of wall space for our things. Oh man, the open space is great!!! I don’t dare to tackle it because of the budget, etc...
