ᐅ Preliminary site planning for a 819 m² plot

Hello everyone,

Recently, I shared a plot and floor plan layout in a thread, which you can find here...

https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundrissplanung-Bungalow-170qm.31445/

Since that plan wasn’t well received, I would like to present a new rough concept showing how we plan to arrange the house, garage, carport, and storage room for bicycles, gardening tools, etc.

AR = Storage room, serves as a cellar replacement
G = Garage
CP = Carport
H = House

The shaded area represents the driveway. The main entrance will be located near the garage. The distance between the garage/storage and the house will be about 1.9 m (6 ft). We haven’t decided yet regarding the terrace, but I could imagine it being on the southeast side (rear) or extending from southeast to southwest (around the back and around the corner). For the bungalow dimensions, I used 16.5 m x 13 m (54 ft x 43 ft) as I think that will work. It would be even better if the bungalow is narrower (starting at 12 m / 39 ft), so the house can be positioned further forward. The disadvantage of the bungalow is that with a 13 m (43 ft) width, the house needs to be set back 2 m (6.5 ft) to the rear (southeast), which “loses” some usable plot space, as there isn’t much built at the front.

Questions:
Is the distance of approximately 1.9 m (6 ft) between garage and house sufficient?
What do you think if the entire northeast side of the house is occupied with “objects”?
What do you think of the new layout?

I found a floor plan sized 12.9 m x 16.5 m (42 ft x 54 ft) that might fit, with minor adjustments. Where the terrace is shown, I would place my home office, so it would no longer be a U-shape. See the attachment.

Okay. Then the main entrance of the house must not face northeast.

Maybe you should explain your statements so that people understand what you mean.

The house measures 16.5m (54 feet) by 12.9m (42 feet). The front door is on the long side. To fit the house on the plot, it needs to be positioned widthwise. The garage is located roughly in the middle of the house when viewed from the side, and the front door is there as well. If I remove the carport and enlarge the garage to 5m by 6m (16 by 20 feet) directly attached to the house, I then can’t enter the house without going through the garage. Or have I misunderstood something?

... then the garage will simply be shifted further back to make room for the entrance. The floor plan is not yet set in stone but will be adjusted according to the possibilities.

Read up on this first

You seem to be approaching the planning completely the wrong way.
Take a look at the plot and sketch where different elements could be located.

You seem to be approaching the planning all wrong.
Look at the plot and sketch out where things could be located.

I have already read that. But I just can’t come up with better ideas. I actually like it much better this way. I aligned the house parallel to the street because there isn’t enough space otherwise. The house has now moved forward again. The storage room serves as a visual barrier, and you can enter the house directly from the garage. In theory, I could also shift the storage room and garage a bit forward since there is still some space. Unfortunately, you can’t see that clearly in my picture, but it would be possible.

Are there any critical points or alternative suggestions?

Since no one has responded, I assume it’s okay like this.

Another idea I had is to replace the small double garage with a small single garage and add a carport next to it. The advantage would be having a passageway at the back.
