We are planning to build a new house and realized today that a wall, which is supposed to be partially underground, has been constructed by the house manufacturer with paneling as if it were to stand entirely above ground, like this:
Wooden house exterior with gray paneling, glass door, and small windows. Grass foreground and visible house corner indicating potential renovation. House design sketch showing the corner with wooden paneling and a partial brick foundation wall. Grass in the foreground.

We would like to achieve the house's vision with the staircase further to the right and stone settings/flower boxes like this over time:
Exterior view of a wooden building with a glass door, concrete path, and grass. The design issue is the half-buried wall intended for above-ground. Front entrance design with wooden panel walls, a glass door, stone steps, and adjacent planter boxes.

We pointed this out to the house manufacturer, who then suggested building with thermomur. This would mean that the wall is thickened 110 mm inward in both directions at the corner, which results in the WC and children's room being reduced in an inconvenient way. So my question is - do you see other alternatives? Thicken it externally instead, use other materials, build a wooden frame around the flower box to the right of the entrance and stone pave on it (hear how it sounds), or something else. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
