Hello.
I have tried to accurately draw the surroundings of our plot to scale because we are having a hard time deciding where we would like to place the terrace and our living spaces.
The plot has a street with a 30 km/h (about 20 mph) speed limit zone on the west side. This is a street in a new development area that will consist of 40 single-family homes, so all the corresponding cars will be passing by our property. Our car parking spaces must also be located in the northwest.
I have often read that the terrace is preferably oriented to the west if you enjoy the sun. We do. However, for us, west would mean having the terrace facing the street side. We are somewhat unsure about the noise from the cars. It is hard to assess that with a 30 km/h (about 20 mph) zone.
There is also a maximum 80 cm (about 31 inches) high fence allowed, so people would be able to see directly onto our plates if the terrace faced west. The same would apply if we placed the dining room on the west side. And ideally, we would not want to be watched so much in the living room either...
I know the perfect solution (sun from morning until evening plus total privacy) does not exist...
Still, we would be interested in where you would place the garden terrace if you were in our position and which rooms you would locate on the west side of the house.
Looking forward to your ideas and suggestions.

Some people design their living room front to wrap around the corner. Luxhaus once had some designs like this with the Tango model. Unfortunately, most of the brochures have almost disappeared from the internet. I still have one at home. Just mirror it, and it fits. I donât think itâs that bad at all.

Some people build their living room front around the corner.In house plans, living rooms rotated by 45° were as trendy at the time as blackberry-colored double-breasted jackets with shoulder pads â honestly, I donât miss either of them.
P.S.: Back then, mobile phones weighed six kilograms (13 lbs), had a shoulder strap, no camera, and you couldnât check emails with themâŠ

In the floor plan of the "other" house, the living room rotated by 45° was as trendy at the time as double-breasted blackberry-colored jackets with shoulder pads. Well, I certainly wouldnât orient my floor plan based on trends. In this case, though, I think it would make sense because the terrace will almost certainly face southeast.
Apart from that, I would always try to minimize how much the terrace borders the street or where the noise from the street can reach it directly. So having it only on the south side is already a concern. You would need a substantial amount of woodland behind it to create a cozy atmosphere.

Well, I would definitely design my floor plan based on other criteria than trends.However, this trend was quite contagious back then; prefab home builders widely adopted it and even drove its popularity.

In this case, I would find it appropriate only because the terrace will most likely face southeast with a 99% probability.This is indeed a major advantage of this option: it allows you to rotate the terrace by about half a compass point from the ridge line or house axis.
