Hello everyone,
I need some help deciding the best way to position our house. The plot size is 498 square meters (5358 square feet). The house should be around 150 to 160 square meters (1615 to 1722 square feet). We have only roughly drawn it on the plan; the foundation slab dimensions are not fixed yet. The garage can be built right on the boundary line, but otherwise a setback of three meters (10 feet) from the property lines must be observed. We have now sketched two ideas. Could you tell me which option you prefer? If you have any other suggestions, I’m open to those as well. Our plot is the last one on the street opposite No. 14. Thanks in advance and best regards, Nadine

Wouldn't you prefer to have your house idea thoroughly reviewed first—after carefully completing the questionnaire at the beginning of the floor plan section, of course—before laying out a specific house on the plot here that might later change and no longer fit? What are the dimensions of the model based on?I am already working on a floor plan to be reviewed. I just wanted to clarify where the garage will be located first, since the room layout depends on it. I drew the foundation slab at that size because it just fits with the setback from the boundary, and this way we have more garden space at the front. That’s why the foundation slab is a bit longer than it is wide.
Give some thought to how you want to live and use the garden. Can you imagine having two separate areas, or just one?
After that, you can narrow down the entrance layout a bit.
Can the protrusion at the front of the plot be used for other purposes?
And: where exactly is the driveway lowered? As far as I know, it is difficult to have that relocated.
Also, check whether the garage is allowed to be built outside the building line within the first 5 meters (16 feet) at the front.

If the double garage is in front of the house, I would place it more towards the southeast rather than the southwest. Another option could be to place a single garage along the eastern boundary and only a parking space or carport along the western boundary.
The front door located beside or behind a double garage can be hard for delivery drivers to find, so it should not be too hidden. I would probably place the entrance on the east side or at the eastern end of the south side.

That can help narrow down the entrance situation a bit.
Can you still use the indentation at the front of the property for other purposes?
And: where exactly is the driveway lowering now? As far as I know, it’s difficult to have that moved.
Also, check if the garage is even allowed to be built outside the building boundary within the first 5 meters (16 feet) at the front. We could imagine having two areas, but we would need a garden area large enough to fit a play tower, swing, slide, or something similar. What other purposes should we use the indentation for? We thought that if the driveway goes there, we could add parking spaces. If the driveway is on the other side, adding extra parking spaces becomes inconvenient because then the garden area shrinks again.
What driveway lowering are you referring to? There’s no lowering on the property. The first three meters (10 feet) from the street to the garage must be kept clear. My husband marked about six meters (20 feet) so there’s space to park cars in front as well.

The front door hidden beside a double garage can be hard for the delivery person to find, so it shouldn’t be too concealed. I would probably place the entrance on the east side or at the eastern end of the south side. We have two small children, so we do spend quite a lot of time outside. The point about the delivery person is a good one; I hadn’t thought of that. A single garage would be enough for us, we only chose the double garage because it fits the space and my mom believes you absolutely need a double garage.
