Single-family house northeast slope 230m2 gable roof

All architects be

I don't believe that. Every architect has their area of expertise, but no one can cover everything. And they know that too.

The nice colorful pictures are now suggesting to you that you can do it. Right? After all, there is a house on the slope.

The planning phase is just a process. Many things only become clear over time. You also have to clarify what you want yourself.

Life itself is a process. And you can only plan what you know up to that point. If you don't know gardening, don't realize that in summer you actually spend almost all your time outdoors or in the kitchen, you can't know how important these direct accesses are.

The architect can live in a rental apartment and still tell you that—and also plan accordingly. Working on the PC does not make you life-experienced either.

But don't worry: you build the first house for your enemy, the second... and only the third for yourself.

The nice colorful pictures suggest to you now that you can do it. Right?

If I really believed that, I wouldn't be here asking for help.

I don’t get the impression that it’s financially so tight that a later rental might be important? So why do you insist on maximizing here and even letting strangers onto your property?

The real luxury is precisely being alone. I only find an annex apartment useful if, for example, you bring parents into the house or need a nanny for your 5 children who is supposed to live there, maybe a caregiver in case of disability – those kinds of cases. But to earn €3.80 with a hut that costs a million? That’s pretty silly, isn’t it?

If you really plan to have 4 children and don’t know what to do with so much house when the kids grow up, I would rather consider later dividing the house into a two-family house and hope that one of the children, for example, moves into the upper floor. For that, you already plan a separate staircase that can later be separated by a wall. But those are things a good architect will implement for you.

If I really believed that, I wouldn't be here asking for help.

ok, then let's (continue to) discuss. Your turn

Template: I would suggest having at least three children's rooms upstairs if the planning already predicts this and two are already there. With a bathroom of reasonable size that everyone can use. After all, it is not a hotel bathroom for a limited time, and you also want to have space to move while cleaning. Sports/sauna area/office then in the basement. On the ground floor, bring in some openness: fewer walls, everything a bit more spacious and not so oppressive. I would leave out the living room. What is the corner supposed to be for? It would only make sense if it were directly next to the kitchen as a seating area, if the dining table were in the living room. Remove the wall there and voilà, you have a nice entrance. Kitchen at the front with a terrace in front of it, dining area in the middle, and then living, as you want it. Or gladly the opposite order, meaning the kitchen next to the elevator or stairs. Bathrooms one above the other and drains outside. However, I would avoid too many corners and edges like now.

Many things about this draft are unclear to me: the unusual wall thicknesses, the concept of using concrete skeleton elements in a purely residential building, and on the one hand, individual wet rooms in two children's rooms but without designing the attic for rental to holiday guests (which would seem more appropriate to me here in terms of the landscape). I agree that there will be a dressing down from the architect regarding the entrances - for example, the granny flat is accessed via the meadow. As a plan, I would describe what is shown here as, to put it mildly, still incomplete, but as a basis for discussion with an architect, it is interesting. Whether such a person is any good can be found out more quickly with such a property than with one meant for a slab-foundation social villa.
