we own an 850 m² (about 25 m (82 feet) wide, 35 m (115 feet) long) plot of land with a slight south-to-north slope (estimated about 2 m (6.5 feet) over 35 m (115 feet)). The plot itself is almost exactly oriented south/north, with access from the north. I tried to illustrate the layout graphically and hope it turned out somewhat clear.
How would you orient a house with a gable roof, where would you place the garage, and especially why? 😎
We like option A – with a south/west terrace, the garage would provide additional privacy. However, I believe that orienting the roof east/west is not ideal for solar energy, etc. Is that correct?
Additional question:
Can I somehow use the mentioned 2 m (6.5 feet) south/north slope to my advantage, or do I need to level the entire plot first? The terrace should be on the south/west side.
We currently plan to build with a basement.

D! I would choose D. This way, you have a large block as a shield towards the street and a perfect south-facing orientation for the solar system. Additionally, you get a significantly longer house facade facing south.
Compared to option C, I see the advantage that I personally prefer more windows facing west rather than east. But that is a matter of taste.

I am leaning towards C to D, also considering the beam facing the street. Does the ridge orientation support that?

Does the ridge orientation comply with that? Are you referring to the zoning plan? According to the municipality, the ridge orientation is not fixed, even if the site plan indicates otherwise.
The only potential issue might be the width of 25m (82 feet).
Garage + house + distance to neighbors... for example, 6 + 12 + 3 + 3 = 24. I believe that should be acceptable.
Clearly option B – in the attic there can be floor-to-ceiling windows facing south, the garage is located to the northeast away from the light, and there is a nice garden in the southwest.
How busy is the street? Is it just a residential street or something larger?
Otherwise, I would agree with the argument for the building wing 🙂
