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

Now it's time to evaluate the excessive offers from the construction companies...What did the architect calculate?
"Difficult conditions" can sometimes be a blessing in disguise: even if originality was probably not the main focus here, the special circumstances actually result in more of it than if you were to awkwardly attach bay windows to a generic, cookie-cutter plot with your Tuscan-style house.

I also find the floor plan quite good, although I would reconsider the kitchen layout and place the tall cabinet more toward the upper right corner of the kitchen. Currently, it is located more to the right of the kitchen door.
And the space for the washing machine is really not suitable... it could be planned in the drying room/laundry room instead.

I also think it turned out well. The laundry situation should be reconsidered.
I would probably arrange the kitchen/dining area differently: place the large dining table parallel to the big window and design the kitchen as a galley or single-wall layout with a large island in front. I’m not a fan of corner kitchens of this size—they involve a lot of running around. But that’s a matter of personal preference.
A 15% slope leading to the garage would worry me here in our area, but I guess it could be okay without a harsh winter and heavy snow. Definitely make sure there is good drainage in the low area; otherwise, the garage could flood during heavy rain.

Overall, it’s still not perfect and probably not cheap, but in the end a good solution. Good luck finding a construction company willing to deviate from the standard rectangular floor plan.
