Hello everyone,

I am currently planning a single-family house with a double garage on a small 448m² (5400 sq ft) plot. I would appreciate any tips and suggestions regarding the placement of the house and the double garage.
- House approximately 10 x 8.5 meters (33 x 28 feet), although the exterior dimensions may still change
- Double garage 7 x 7 meters (23 x 23 feet)
- No slope, or about 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) gradient from west to east
- 2 full floors
- Gable roof
- Basement with light wells desired
- The plans of the southern neighbor are included in the drawings. Those of the western neighbor do not yet exist.

It is plot number 7. Files 01 and 02 show my current rough placement ideas.
The other files (03) show the plot without the house or garage placed. I can also provide an SVG file in which the house and garage can be easily moved. I am still quite unsure about the placement and would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Best regards

But that is just under 4 meters (4.08 meters) and not 4.80 meters.

I think you want it differently than what the esteemed architect suggests?

Then I must have misunderstood. Sometimes it’s not so easy to understand in text form. In my example, there would be more window area on the southwest side and also roof space on the southwest side (keyword photovoltaic system). However, the neighbor is even closer to the south. Then the terrace would have to be built entirely on the west side and not between the house and the neighbor’s garage.

Oh... misread, oops:

No, I actually thought to leave it as is. Just place the roof along the longer side. Simply put the garage further behind the house and that’s it. In your new sketch, the kitchen is in the middle of nowhere and way too narrow, isn’t it?!

What do you mean by "placing the roof along the long side"? Do you mean having the gable running along the shorter side? Is that common practice with a gable roof?
Yes, the kitchen does look very cramped with this layout.

Yes, exactly! Gable orientation on the short side! That way, you can place the children's rooms facing the garden with regular windows and don’t need double casement windows or anything like that... And of course, that’s how it’s done with a pitched roof, so why not?!
