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

I always have to experiment with these kinds of measurements... so I built the "underground garage," added the entrance for the granny flat, and then just designed a house with slightly angled walls to show what, in my opinion, is the maximum possible space on the plot given the specified dimensions.

I think the tree is actually further east. Or how did you measure it?

As a rough estimate... it shows that the center of the trunk must be at least 18 meters (59 feet) away from the eastern boundary to still achieve the 367 cm (145 inches) interior width... any less would be really tight.

Is it not possible to build the garage above ground right on the boundary line?

Roughly estimated, the center of the trunk is about 15.5 to 16 meters (51 to 52.5 feet) away from the northeastern corner.

Is it actually a problem that the land is designated as garden land/agricultural land on the cadastral map and not as a residential building area? Has this been changed, or is there a positive decision on a preliminary building inquiry? Things are definitely improving.

I have marked the lengths of the boundaries in the screenshot. We just don’t know the exact location of the oak tree. In my opinion, this isn’t significant. The more to the west, the wider the right side of the house becomes; the more to the east, the better the southern part of the plot can be used. In the end, it’s a zero-sum game regarding the buildable area.

Yvonne asks in #53 if the plot belongs to the municipality, Müllerin assumes this already in #70, and Yvonne accepts it as fact in #90. Funny!

I am still waiting for the outcome from #47.

I don’t find it funny at all that the discussion focuses more on the tree than on the house itself.
Already in #10 or #12, the room layout was requested. Escroda asks for sketches.

In #18, Escroda talks about a 7-meter (23-foot) oak tree. Katja mentions in #37 a 14-meter (46-foot) oak...
And everyone reacts to that because Google identified it as a deciduous tree.
7 meters (23 feet) is quite different from 14 meters (46 feet). I would assume they mean diameter rather than radius?

The original poster asks for floor plan ideas in the initial post... Katja, Kerstin, and I are waiting for information that hasn’t been provided... we can’t just guess dimension wishes now.
Will there be any updates? And then please clarify again “not exclusive, but expensive,” so we can address the style.
