Aloha18963 May 2019 22:13Hello, we have purchased a plot of land – unfortunately, due to a strict zoning plan, it is not possible to build very large.
The floor area ratio (FAR) is 0.15 on a plot size of 926m2 (9970 sq ft).
Basically, two floors are possible!
The architect’s design is attached. The left part of the house is the existing basement with a new structure on top and the connection to an extension via sunken steps.
Do you possibly have any ideas how we could still include a guest room of 10–11m2 (108–118 sq ft) without giving up the walk-in closet?
We would also like to add a second level in the children’s room to create more space – our architect has asked us to gather our thoughts, but I’m a bit stuck and would appreciate any creative suggestions.
Note: the left part, apart from the basement, will be demolished and rebuilt – due to the difference in height (raised basement) there are sunken steps leading into the single-story extension.
Thank you

As far as I know, the floor area ratio refers to the gross floor area, including walls.
That’s a really stupid floor area ratio.

Aloha18963 May 2019 22:23Sorry, it is 0.15... I have corrected it in the text. An exemption permit has been applied for, but who knows – maybe someone here has a brilliant idea! We want to keep the basement and convert it into a livable space. That works for us, but we could really use an additional spare/guest room on the ground floor.
The chosen construction method is timber frame.

Would a shifted lean-to roof be possible without the resulting space lacking sufficient height to at least use it as a sleeping area for guests?

Aloha18963 May 2019 22:31The basement is located immediately to the right of the entrance! A shed roof should be possible – two stories are allowed. Otherwise, there are no restrictions... I mainly need a room where I can snore in peace.
