ᐅ Floor Plan of a Narrow, Rectangular L-Shaped House on a Triangular Plot with an Oak Tree

Hello everyone!

We have purchased a triangular plot of land. As if that weren’t complicated enough, there is also a large oak tree that must be considered during the planning. In our initial considerations, it quickly became clear that the floor plan will have an L-shape.

Does anyone here have experience with this type of plot and a correspondingly shaped floor plan? What additional information is needed to get meaningful advice?

Best regards

Floor area ratio and plot ratio?

I need to look into that...sorry.

Yes, we want the garage underground so that the basement apartment can have windows facing the street. This is achieved by designing the driveway to allow natural light. Additionally, there will be a front door to the apartment directly in front of the garage door.

Please sketch this with the dimensions you have in mind, directly onto the site plan.

@Escroda does not claim to know it. The crown eaves... you have to accept them as they are. I still see about 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) width on the east side of the oak tree for a house. However, I wouldn’t want to constrain it further with an underground garage and a granny flat: building a nice residential house already comes with enough challenges. If it happens to work out, fine. But the priority should be the main living unit.

The plot is small. So the question is whether you are even allowed to build that large.
A granny flat costs money, especially on the property. I have my doubts whether it will be worthwhile.

In my opinion, the question of placement doesn’t really arise. I haven’t read anything about allowed edge development or similar here. That means a 3-meter (10 feet) distance from all boundaries. With some luck, it might only be 2 meters (6.5 feet) to public walkways or so. But I wouldn’t count on that, and whether that would look good is also questionable.

3 meters (10 feet) to the neighbor on the east. 2 meters (6.5 feet) on the other two sides.

A 10x10 (meters) house wouldn’t even fit in the building plot. Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding something? You will probably have to build diagonally to reach the square meters. What are the floor area ratio and plot ratio? I think the tree is your smallest problem.

Our idea is to place it parallel to the property line on the east side...

That’s going to be interesting. 200 m² (2150 sq ft)? Only if you were allowed to build three stories, maybe.

The 200 m² (2150 sq ft) includes the finished basement. We are allowed to build two stories.

Additional cost.

Oh dear
Sounds like a cigarette pack standing on end

I have doubts that you will reach your 200 sqm (2,150 sq ft) even without a granny flat
