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

The concerns about the practicality of a built-in garage, especially the driveway slope and cost aspect, were already raised here in the thread months ago, so... almost a year ago. Anyway, no big deal, we also had such minor changes during the planning phase.
But does this mean you now have concrete cost quotes or is there even a house construction contract by now? I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

Has everything now been raised by one level? Yes, by 10cm (4 inches). However, this adjustment was already made for the underground garage version. The terrace had to be built 10cm (4 inches) higher due to the tree roots.
What frustrates me is that if the architect had presented at least two versions side by side, we would almost certainly have rejected the first option.
And yes, the high costs were pointed out here. We were aware of that. But we did not expect the difference to be this significant. Again, the architect did not do his homework properly.
And no, we have not yet hired any contractors.
To be continued....

No one can identify with the project as much as you do yourself. What is important to you is something you always need to take care of yourself—constantly making calls, asking questions, and pushing until everything fits.
I have a quick question on the side: We asked the architect for the 1950s drawings for our records. He said it is uncommon to hand these over to homeowners for single-family houses, but only for multi-family houses and generally larger projects. That can't be right, can it?
