Hello everyone,
I have been a silent reader for some time now, but we have reached a point where I need your help.
The plot of land is already purchased. I have been working on creating a floor plan on my own for a while. Our architect has postponed the project for now due to lack of availability. However, since we don’t want to wait any longer, we are looking for a building partner.
We want to build a modern urban villa using solid construction, with a separate area for the grandparents (not a typical granny flat, but an internally separated living room, bedroom, and bathroom with only one entrance and a hallway on the ground floor).
Additionally, I would like to have a trench collector installed, connected to a heat pump. To support our own power supply, a photovoltaic system on the roof would be possible. Controlled mechanical ventilation would be the icing on the cake.
The plot size is 604m2 (6500ft2). It is located in a second row. The driveway is also part of our property. The previous owner subdivided their garden and then sold it to us.
I am attaching the current development plan (it is from before the subdivision). The hall shown on our plot no longer exists. I took the photo with south at the bottom and east on the right.
Perhaps someone has an idea of how the house could be positioned there. The possible building envelope would be 11x11m (36x36ft) or 11x12m (36x39ft). There should also be enough space for a double garage or a garage about 9 meters (30ft) long.
Maybe someone here knows a good architect, construction manager, or general contractor from the region (I’m not sure which option would be better here?). The building site is in Wuppertal.
If any further information is needed, I am happy to provide it. I appreciate any advice.

So the topic of a city villa without an attic floor is settled?
I’m just asking!
My parents live in 160sqm (about 1,720 sq ft) and are 75 and 77 years old. My mother would probably not take less than 90sqm (about 970 sq ft) for herself alone (later in an apartment)... but okay: that’s the standard people are used to.
But this needs to be questioned here. Often scenarios with parents are planned, but when asked, they are only 63 years old and unaware of their luck that their retirement provision is being invested in their children’s house.

What are we offering the grandparents – the chance to live under one roof with the family, so that when help is needed, they are nearby and don’t have to drive for hours to assist. Then there’s the possibility to step outside directly into the garden. On the third floor, using a walking aid becomes much more difficult. And although one might think that people over 70 can still handle heavy tasks, that is far from the case. In the worst case, only one grandparent may move in at the time of moving... and then 45sqm (about 480 sq ft) or more is available for a single person.

Just asking!And from my perspective, your question is perfectly justified: the location somewhat limits the floor area here, but I see in the usage template 0.3/0.8 – in my opinion, a clear hint to build Type II + D.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Usage template 0.3/0.8 This belongs to the adjacent development plan and therefore only serves as a general guideline. There are no building boundaries or construction lines (disregarding the setback lines, which are irrelevant for this project).

I would say 12.5 meters (41 feet) in length is the limit; otherwise, there isn’t enough garden left. I wouldn’t set the limit based on the garden size, but rather on the budget. If the budget allows for 2 meters (6.5 feet) more house, then sacrificing 2 meters (6.5 feet) of garden is a better investment.

And the situation with the retirement provisions of the grandparents who are supposed to move in is not that bad either.
You are allowed to build on 30% of your plot area, so 604m² (6500 ft²) * 0.3 = 181.2m² (1953 ft²). The house could therefore be approximately 11m (36 ft) by 16m (52 ft) in size. The 0.8 means that the total floor area is allowed to be 604m² (6500 ft²) * 0.8 = 483.2m² (5202 ft²).
Apart from the fact that these values are not legally binding for your plot, they are more than sufficient.
