As a context, we agreed that we will do 2 appartments (i'm the one on top, my sister's is at floor level). The shape of the field does not help, but I tried to make the best use of it (I think ?). There will be other houses on the east and north side (We assume the one at the north will be pretty far from the wall, but the one at the east will certainly be really close). There will be nothing on the west side, and the road is on the south side.
Do you thing it's possible to do something like that ? Any idea on how to improve space usage ?

Re: Home project
Nice plan. As I am also no architect, I hesitate to give advice on the layout or design, but it does seem that you are making very much of the space you have at your disposal. (Even if I think you should let your sister have some furniture and windows too ).
But to get a better impression of the final result, maybe you could:
add some texture to the outer wall,
put on a roof (on a new level so it does not interfere),
indicate possible neighbouring houses with boxes (that you can group and hide with the visible checkbox),
with correct compass will make photo rendering can give you an idea of light and shade (you can also do a full sunlight simulation).
As to whether the project is possible, that is pretty hard to tell without knowing local regulations and standards. But making a similar building (maybe with slightly thicker outer walls and floors) certainly looks doable. But, a good builder/architect will be a better judge of possible snags: To take one example, meeting the requirements to a staircase is often a challenge: the spiral staircase in your plan is narrow / steep to serve as main access to the first floor. Fire escape, fall hazard, disability access - lots of considerations. The diameter would need to be roughly 40 cm wider to have an ascent line in the middle of the staircase of < 42°, the balusters are too far a part to prevent a child to fall through / get head stuck).
But don't let details put you off. The concept is great. And please keep posting progress. Fun to see. Best of luck.

Re: Home project
I like the thought of putting the cars away on one side - possibly in a garage. But your sister is getting less and less space... Did you consider splitting the home vertically?
Looking forward to seeing the final result.
ok
PS. The open door in the thick walls messes with the scale of the frame is not equal to the door - a known phenomenon. For workaround, search forum or see SF 3D models 334.
