Single-family house on a south slope, floor plan approx. 160m² - with basement and garage

A double casement window also brings enough light. The knee wall seems to be 1 m? That works without the expensive gable.

The knee wall is currently 0.75 m. More is not possible according to the building plan. But we will clarify that anyway. 1 m or 1.2 m would be our wish.

You misunderstood me with the stairs. I did not mean your stairs inside. I meant no one plans a staircase inside the house as a passage from the kitchen upstairs to the dining and living area downstairs. You plan something similar outside. Kitchen upstairs, living, playing, (garden) downstairs.

What kind of living climate do you imagine with wood?
If you plan solid wood, it could work without a concrete basement. We only have the retaining wall made of concrete, has a wooden cellar.

If you want a wooden facade, then the planner did not receive the information.

that we will build all exterior walls in solid visible wood.

Whatever that is supposed to mean (?)

The captain's gable was not a requirement from us at all. It is necessary to create space/room for the staircase on the upper floor.

Yes, it is here – at least the dormer. However, I would not have given it the gable that does not fit the house style, but a lean-to roof.

Apparently the planner presents you with a floor plan from the drawer and you just approve it, paying over 500,000 for a house that is built rather carelessly into the slope. Other possibilities? Maybe some planning around the desired open space on the hillside property, that would be my idea. Otherwise: if you like it, then everything is fine. We won’t make progress if everyone questions the long way into the garden, but you have a long fuse regarding this. Because ultimately most people here say that as it is now, it will be strange and inconvenient in everyday life and a bit of a pity for the garden and the money invested in such a house.

With the slope, the basement is probably not much more expensive than "filling up" the plot. The granny flat is only supposed to double the KFW55 subsidy. However, it will not be used as a granny flat for the time being.

With photovoltaics and the construction method, the step to KfW40(+) is not far off anymore. I would have it calculated through if I were you...
