Single-family house south slope - floor plan planning, tips?

Now I have to defend TE again: our traditional "architecture" here is really special and classically boring and no longer up-to-date since 2019ff.

Usually 2 full floors with a gable roof set on top. Solidly built ground floor with laundry rooms, workshops, garage, and similar, living space in the half-timbered upper floor or timber-framed upper floor with wood cladding or slate cladding. Usable attic thanks to steep roof pitch and small dormers. Roof pitch also due to heavy snow load in winter, generally no roof overhangs, hence the slate-covered facade. Basically elongated basic shape of the house: eaves side to gable side at least 2:1, rather 3:1.

Except for the "Stube," all mini rooms, room height 1.80 - max. 2.20. I mean, who wants to build something like that and live like that nowadays? I do not recognize a single transferable architectural highlight here that should be adopted in a new building.

I have to admit, I can't really remember the den sensationally regional house-building style in the Erzgebirge when we were there recently. It's exactly as describes - for a new building, rather a dull basis - narrow houses with pointed roofs. Mmh. I don't find the Bavarian copy so bad in the Erzgebirge either. After all, it is also a wintery mountain region. One of our people built a ski log cabin right in the middle of the city in the flatlands. That is rather crazy, I think.

Exactly! The "Gebirge" in "Erzgebirge" should not be understood as "mountains" in the strict sense, but at least there are still proper winters here and quite popular ski resorts. An alpine architectural style is therefore not directly out of place.

Fits better than a city villa in the Tuscan style

Now make a point again, this is not how the houses in the Erzgebirge look either. Mountain architecture is winter-hardy and wood construction-based, but precisely architectural revolutionaries from the respective regions find ways to reinterpret it. That is, to highlight the regional character WITHOUT 1:1 copying of museum-like doll rooms.

We can’t guess measurements yet
However, it is more likely that _you_ _are_ misjudging your work.
Should we praise your amateur floor plan, where even the staircase hasn’t been roughly thought out by you, so that you later tell the architect: exactly like this and not otherwise! Later you will regret it.
Be glad that we are this honest with you.

I am. I was taught early on by my father: Be glad about constructive, critical feedback.
