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

For a "grounded treehouse," I think the current plan is a good result.

Glad to hear that despite all the initial challenges related to the plot, such a great result was achieved. Is the dormer located above the living room?

Question: You now have 3 toilets. Isn’t that a bit excessive? Guests can just go downstairs and use the bathroom in the basement, right? That would eliminate that small extension next to the entrance area and probably save some money as well.

Kitchen – how about a large peninsula with a view of the tree?

I would do exactly that! If the tree requires so much careful thought, it should definitely remain permanently visible from its spot!

Interesting floor plan! We also have a wedge-shaped section on the side of the house because the plot is triangular. If you can get accustomed to such unique features, it’s a great solution!
So: I like it, EXCEPT for the stairs at the entrance. I really don’t like those.
Otherwise, the tricky little plot is very well utilized!

I would rather skip the toilet in the lower ground floor.

Could the garage be pushed back a bit (I know, at the back it would be about 2.50m (8 ft 2 in) high), and then use the lower ground floor airlock as the main entrance?
Or:
Could the airlock and WC be removed, make that space a utility room and move the entrance to where the utility room is now? So maybe dig a bit deeper?

Or position the stairs opposite the hallway, nicely glazed... but then everything else shifts as well... :/

It’s difficult because we don’t know how the slope currently is or what has already been modeled in the design.

Otherwise, it stays as it is.
I would prefer to have a window on the north side in the living room rather than the east, wouldn’t I?

Ah, yes, and in the children's room as well, right? Then it's two against one already.
