Hello everyone,
After reading quietly for a while and really appreciating all the ideas shared here, I’d like to bring up a topic and hopefully get some feedback, suggestions, and ideas!
I am 34 years old and originally from Munich, where I was born and raised.
Currently, we (my wife and I, with a child on the way, my sister and her partner, as well as my parents) are discussing whether to completely rebuild on our plot of land (currently occupied by a single-family house / 1000 sqm (0.25 acres) / 20 × 50 m (65 × 164 ft) / no zoning plan). The idea is to build a fairly modern house with two spacious living areas (each with its own terrace overlooking the garden, large living and dining areas, etc., and about 200 sqm (2150 sq ft) of living space), including an underground garage and a basement. A granny flat (or accessory dwelling unit) is also planned to be integrated.
I would like to start a discussion based on these ideas and am looking forward to any input or constructive criticism.
Thank you very much.

@RomeoZwo Many thanks for the illustration! I like your line of thought. Would you be able to add the boundaries of the individual living areas to your drawing (including measurements in meters would be fantastic)... How about the floor plan as well?
I would estimate that with a granny flat on the ground floor, 200 square meters (2,153 square feet) of built-up area will not be sufficient for the stated requirements.

Also the floor plan as well?No, sorry, that’s not what I meant!
If you are considering a granny flat on the ground floor, 200 sqm (2,150 sq ft) in total are definitely not enough!
PS: ypg, I’ve read/seen your posts in other topics today! Really excellent!

It was meant just as a concept, an alternative to the traditional semi-detached house. It has disadvantages too, since one unit only has a southeast-facing garden.
It’s probably true that it will be a bit more than 200m2 (about 2150 sq ft). My quick estimate was 60m2 (about 645 sq ft) for the basement apartment, two times 60m2 (about 645 sq ft) for kitchen and living/dining areas, plus 10% for walls. I naturally forgot about the wardrobe and the stairs, so it’s more like 240m2 (about 2580 sq ft), which, with a 14m (46 ft) building width, results in roughly 17m (56 ft) building length.

I think a "penthouse" here can only refer to a top-floor apartment spanning two adjacent maisonettes— not a bungalow "on a flat roof as a plot."It's a pity, that's exactly how I would like it with 70 cm (28 inches).
But why can't it be like that here? We don’t know the neighboring buildings or the building permit / planning permission. Well – the original poster doesn’t like the flat roof...
