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

OK, before we start rebuilding you again tomorrow, here are two things for you:
- Are you familiar with the "hiking trail"?
- Do you know what is planned north of the "hiking trail"?

Yes, I know it and I am aware.

Ok, you can possibly look this up on maps, but what stands out to me now is the approximate centerline of the oak tree. If that is the case, you have 6 meters (20 feet) left for the house when using the full possible length. That means a built-up area of 96 sqm (1033 sq ft), resulting in about 160 sqm (1722 sq ft) of living space over two stories.

I don't see any chance to create windows or living space in the driveway of an underground garage.

Did you buy the plot from the municipality? If so, I would consider withdrawing from the purchase agreement if you cannot accept the 6-meter (20 feet) width or if you financially depend on a separate apartment. Two-thirds of the plot is unusable... in my opinion, the municipality has an obligation to disclose this.

I can’t find it anymore, but there was a report where the architect didn’t use traditional building materials so the walls could be thinner.

It has a width of 4.70 m (15.4 ft).
Very interesting.

If the budget allows, I would go for that, but in this case I would rather build in the unproblematic clothmaker district.
