cool sausage - as an 18-year-old I wish for an apartment and get one built. But if it’s financially feasible, then go ahead.
Although I would also like to note here: your budget will be tight for the wishes.
The question about the granny flat keeps coming up here because many have the mistaken idea that you build a nice granny flat, put a solvent tenant in it, and automatically finance your house that way. Which of course doesn’t work like that, but this idea keeps popping up. You have clarified that.
But that also means: it doesn’t have to be a granny flat in the classical sense, with all the requirements you have if you want to officially register it as a granny flat (btw: sometimes this is also regulated by the development plan – meaning: it could be that such a thing is not allowed. So inquire about that too).
But here it is supposed to be a place for a young man (did I read that correctly?) who belongs to the family. Am I right in assuming that the other three children are half-siblings of the said young man? How do they get along with each other?
Kbt is right: the slope is not included in the planning, but with such a slope it definitely should be. It makes no sense to build a house that is planned for a flat building plot.
Here: because of the slope, a living area on another level could be very easily created for the adult child. It does not have to be a “real” granny flat, so it can be connected to the rest of the house via an open corridor and the rest of that floor can serve as storage space for the main family. Given the requirements of the development plan, the solution jumps out at you: “living area adult child in the basement plus storage space in the rear basement area for the main family.”
But it can also be the other way round: the adult son gets the attic floor. Advantage: kitchen etc. could move to the basement for the main family and you have direct garden access. There are two solutions, some want the kitchen, living, dining room on street level because you don’t have to carry your stuff from the car far into the kitchen and accept that you cannot go directly from the kitchen to the garden (the worse option for barbecue evenings but better for groceries), or kitchen, dining, living downstairs, direct garden access, but the shopping bag has to be carried down the stairs. (on a downhill plot).
You have to think about what is more important to you. My favorite would be the direct access to the garden, I’d carry the half pig over the stairs once in a while *g*.
Do you have a downhill- or uphill-facing plot?
Coming back to my earlier comment: How do the children get along with each other? One is already 15 years old, so the process of becoming independent won’t take that long anymore. Would it be an option to plan the older child as a kind of “appendage” to the living area of the adult child? So maybe plan a “level for children who have grown out of their parents’ home”? Would they possibly share the sanitary area? Or is that absolutely not an option?
That’s all something to weigh up.
But basically: with such a slope the construction becomes even more expensive. You won’t manage that with a proper EWL and the further wishes (sauna etc.) within your budget. Everyone will have to make some compromises.
Therefore: one floor for the adult or soon-to-be adult children, shared bathroom and the eldest gets two rooms, one bedroom, one living area with kitchen corner. The not-quite-grown children still live with the Ellis but sleep in the separate “[ErwachsenenKinderBereich]”. That already saves money. And you have to. Just the earthworks for the plot will probably amount to six-figures...
