Hello everyone.
We have been planning a cozy home for quite some time. Now that my girlfriend has finished her studies, we are finally ready to start.
The plot was gifted to us and is great overall (dimensions 16 x 60 meters (52 x 197 feet), north-south orientation), but unfortunately a bit narrow. Since it is an infill lot and there are large buildings on both sides, we have decided to position the windows mainly to the front and back. This way, we avoid looking at concrete walls and can enjoy the great southern exposure.
Given these conditions, an urban villa would be ideal, but unfortunately the development plan only allows single-story construction. We will therefore orient a 1½-story house perpendicular to the street, with an entrance on the gable end.
We have visited several builders and had some designs drawn up, but we are still not 100% satisfied.
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size = 1060 sqm (11,412 sq ft)
Slope = No
Building window, building line and boundary = 3 m (10 feet) from the boundary
Edge development = No
Number of parking spaces = 2
Number of stories = 1 full story
Roof form = any
Architectural style = standard 1½-story
Owner requirements
Architectural style, roof form, building type = gable roof
Basement, stories = no basement; 1 full story
Number of residents, ages = 2 now + 1 child in the future, about 30 years old
Walk-in closet = Yes
Staircase type = straight
Office: family use or home office? = No
Number of guest stays per year = guest room desired
Open kitchen, kitchen island = open plan
Number of dining seats = 8
Fireplace = No
Music/stereo wall = Yes
Balcony, roof terrace = No
Garage, carport = carport
Utility garden, greenhouse = utility garden
House design
Planner: designer from a construction company = basic draft based on our ideas
Personal budget for house, including equipment = 300,000 Euro
Preferred heating technology = gas condensing boiler
Basically, the two options mainly differ in the location of the guest bathroom on the ground floor and the access to the bathroom on the upper floor.
What is important to us is a straight staircase and a walk-in closet on the upper floor.
I would like to hear your opinions on what makes more sense or what you find more appealing.

Perhaps the original poster should clarify where exactly the construction is planned.

We have already visited the responsible authority and got their approval. What exactly did you get approved? Did you submit the full construction documents, including proof of building height or number of storeys? And was this immediately reviewed and confirmed as correct or eligible for approval?
dumdidum! schrieb:
According to the development plan, only one and a half storeys are allowed! There are no half storeys in building law. Most likely only a full storey is permitted, and from the plans it looks like the designer did not follow the mathematical rules exactly.

They here are not very confrontational either. Who do you mean by “they”? Is the municipality also the permitting authority? If not, you might face problems later from “the others.”

Building envelope, building line, and building boundary = 3m (10 feet) from the property boundary dumdidum! schrieb:
The building line in the development plan is specified as 10m (33 feet). You urgently need to clarify the conditions here, especially since neighbor 7E is, according to current building regulations, too close to the boundary. Does this affect your planning? How much distance do you have to maintain from that neighbor? How much distance do you need, want, or are allowed to keep from the street?

Don’t take it the wrong way, I was mainly talking about evaluations and suggestions regarding the floor plans. As you can see, the site location has a major impact on the floor plan design. The planning and building code requirements are therefore important to suggest better design options that will also be approvable. The more detailed your information, the better the advice.

dumdidum!5 Jul 2019 15:29Thanks first of all for the many tips and comments. That is exactly why I registered here.
That of course has an impact. Unfortunately, the previous owner naively or for some other reason agreed to allow the neighbor to come as close as 1.50 m (5 feet) to our boundary. Therefore, according to the fire protection regulations, we now have to maintain a minimum distance of about 5 m (16 feet) on our side, leaving 3.50 m (11.5 feet) to the boundary. With a plot width of 16 m (52.5 feet), this results in a maximum building width of 9.50 m (31 feet). We have now agreed on 9 m (30 feet) in the given floor plans. This has all already been absolutely confirmed with the responsible building authority. Before starting the planning, we made sure to find out what is possible under these somewhat challenging conditions!
I have attached the relevant excerpts from the development plan.
I want to emphasize that these are not set in stone; deviations are possible. For example, in our case, we had to apply for a change of ridge direction.
Our parcel is 29/9 at the top of the image.

Yes, of course! There is a DIN standard for that. (How un-German of you not to know that. 🙂 ) Just google "Treppe 1x1"—it’s an online tool where you can calculate stairs according to the DIN standard.

Magdeburg is the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, Schwerin of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the poster’s residence according to the OP is Magdeburg, construction site according to the OP is Saxony. Maybe the OP should clarify where exactly the building is planned.

However, I also want to say that this is not set in stone... which in turn raises some questions.dumdidum! schrieb:
what is actually possible under these somewhat difficult conditions... is still not clear here.There is a building line that the eastern neighbors did not follow, but the western neighbor did.
Is the position of your building structure finalized?
Do you have to/want to comply with the building line and/or building boundary?
Are you allowed to place the carport between the street and the building line, deviating from the development plan?

Escroda schrieb:
Do you have to or want to comply with the building line and/or building boundary? We find the specified 10m (33 feet) ideal and plan to stick to it.
Escroda schrieb:
Are you allowed to place the carport between the street and the building line, contrary to the development plan? According to the development plan, as I understand it, this is not allowed. Since we hadn’t considered this so far, I can’t estimate whether a deviation is possible. We would have to approach the authorities again and inquire about it.
