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

But even nowadays, when every scrap of land is called a "plot," a tree like that is hardly a "hidden defect" you wouldn’t notice with rose-colored glasses. “Hidden defect?” We were aware of the issues with the tree.

According to satellite images, he has his garden with a terrace there. If the OP now builds along the boundary at the southern tip of the plot, that will be the end of his evening sun. I’m afraid his willingness to compromise, including registering the setback easements in his property deed, will (if it even works) not come cheaply. Which one of you would agree to that from the neighbor’s position?Below the setback area adjacent to the neighbor, we are planning the underground garage.

And yes, an architect would probably attempt an experiment here, but that wouldn't help the OP since this is not meant to be a showcase project, but a residential house that needs to be ready to move into on time.It can definitely become a showcase project. When I said we want to keep it simple, I meant simple elegance/modern style, not cheap construction.
Alright then.
Before you start attacking everyone here who has put effort into this and shown interest by considering your plot, and before you ignore Escroda’s request to post sketches showing your ideas, you might want to take a step back.
The forum members, including myself, can only respond to what you share here yourself.
This includes drawings of the plot with the possible building area, as well as information about your ideas and financing.
However, all of this is very limited.
It seems you don’t really want much help. That’s a shame, because you could get a lot of valuable input if you provided more details about the house you want and the plot’s dimensions. With your minimal information, you naturally get many replies that wouldn’t be necessary.

When I said we want to keep it simple, I meant it in terms of understated elegance/modern style, not cheap construction.And I am talking about completely unconventional building methods, which have their challenges and are more likely considered as a passion project rather than a residential home you can move into within three years.
Whether this will appear elegant or if the expensive construction might still look cheap is not up for discussion in my view.
