Hello everyone.
After following the discussions for a long time, I would now like to ask for your feedback.
As you can see from the questionnaire, the current design was created solely by me.
I can provide detailed dimensions later if the grid drawing is insufficient for clarity.
Preliminary notes:
- 1 square equals 1 x 1 meter (3.3 x 3.3 feet)
- The northern wall is on the boundary line and must be built as a fire protection wall.
- The walk-in closet does not require a window.
- The small master bathroom could either have a fire protection window, as shown, opaque due to neighbor regulations above the toilet, or a strip window installed at a height of 1.8 m (5 feet 11 inches) across the entire width of the room.
- Lightwell in the office is planned larger, but the window is not floor-to-ceiling.
- Upper floor windows are not floor-to-ceiling.
- An additional door after the cloakroom could serve as a "windbreak," but this could certainly be added later.
I look forward to your feedback.

Who designed the plan:
Do-it-yourself
What do you particularly like? Why?
L-shape of the living-dining area,
Covered terrace
What do you dislike? Why?
Upper floor in general not 100% perfect (width of children’s rooms)

None

Preferred heating technology:
Gas condensing boiler
If you have to give up something, what details or extensions could you do without
-Could do without: basement bathroom, walk-in closet, master bathroom
-Cannot do without: 3 children’s rooms, office, kitchen island
Why is the design the way it is?
It was developed based on the northern boundary building requirement and the goal of having as much garden and a terrace on the west side as possible.

It was developed based on the northern boundary building requirement and the goal of having as much garden and a terrace on the west side as possible.
Secondary structural elements such as stairwells, bay windows, conservatories, and also light wells may, if applicable, be allowed to have a reduced setback from the property boundary, for example in Bavaria up to about one-third of their length along the boundary. Your planner will surely provide you with more detailed information.

Your planner will certainly be able to provide more details.Yes, but 1. I don’t see this as a secondary structure here, since it is more than one-third of the length on the east side.
2. ... what seems more relevant to me is the slope area, similar to a terrace*. And that is not allowed to extend into the setback area.
I once used the rule of thumb that basically a tank must always be able to pass around or by the house. And if not a tank, then a fire truck. For example, a secondary bay window might be allowed to be somewhat surrounded, which is where the one-third rule applies.
But I definitely do not know for sure!
Of course, by this I mean the primary terrace that is subject to approval, not secondary or tertiary terraces that are added later as breakfast or relaxation terraces.
Here is my rough sketch for a garden lounger:
This is just meant as inspiration... I’m also missing some details regarding the terraced housing, but that’s not necessary.
I admit: it could be a bit narrower, but sketches are just for experimenting.
On the upper floor, the overhang could be used to create some variation on the east or south side, or/and wherever additional space is needed.
The interior bathroom could have a roof window.

Thank you for the sketch.
I’m actually not sure if this is allowed or desired.
Traditionally, a terraced layout consists of house, garage, house, garage, house, garage, and so on.
I assume the plot on the south side will place its garage on our boundary because a “standard” single-family house is planned there. We are basically the last in the row.
I find the garden facing west, with about 13m (43 feet) to the street measured from the ground floor, more appealing than the 6m (20 feet) on the south side toward the neighbor’s garage.

I also drew something in PowerPoint because the drainage in your floor plan bothers me. In my opinion, it has to be located somewhere on the south side to make sense.
The only option I found is something like this:

I’m not sure how you’re calculating, but it looks a bit tighter to me.
Tall cabinet row 60cm (24 inches)
Row spacing 110cm (43 inches)
Island 100cm (39 inches)
Distance 90cm (35 inches)
I’m missing 10cm (4 inches) here. A "supercarrier" (long island) looks awkward at 90cm (35 inches).
For five people, 110cm (43 inches) would be too little for me. The XXL dishwasher door extends 64cm (25 inches) into the room, each pull-out drawer 45cm (18 inches), each door 60cm (24 inches).
According to your plan, the kitchen space is more than 4.10m (13 feet) long, I assume.
