Holzhäuschen21 Oct 2020 20:13Hello dear forum,
I’m trying again with a different question. We have a meeting with our architect coming up soon, so I wanted to gather some ideas here beforehand.
Our house will be a timber house with a combined block wall. It will be one and a half stories with a footprint of 8.5 * 8 m (28 * 26 ft).
The plot is located in a new development area in Brandenburg; you can see the orientation on my beautiful plan.
It is about 589 m² (6329 sq ft) (parcel 64, in WA 1), floor space index 0.4, 2 full floors, building height 10 m (33 ft). There are no other requirements.
I have attached the zoning plan twice, once with a white area indicating approximately where our plot is.
The driveway is on the southeast side, positioned laterally, and is 4.5 m (15 ft) wide. Right next to it is the utility connection—
I have a question about that as well: the plot is fully serviced, but how much does it typically cost to extend the utility connections on the plot in order to build the house at the desired location? I’ve read very different statements and am getting increasingly confused ^^
We are not planning a garage, maybe a carport, but not immediately.
On the east side of the property there is an existing building, but it is located at the easternmost part of the lot. Right next to ours is a carport and the neighbors’ garden.
To the south is another small plot of about 470 m² (5061 sq ft), with the utility connection at the street. To the west of our plot is another parcel where the utility connection is also at the street. To the north is a sparse pine forest with occasional birch trees.
In WA 6, multifamily buildings will probably be built, and WA 7 already has 3-story multifamily buildings.
If I forgot anything, please ask.
Where would you build your house on this plot? And why?
I would like to have a larger garden area, so I planned it relatively close to the east side (about 3 m (10 ft) away). I might also shift it a bit more to the north to have more space for a south-facing terrace. These are my current thoughts.

Just throwing this out there without much thought—put it in the circular file if you think it’s a bad idea.
I would position the house as far south as possible,
- to get a shaded north-facing terrace,
- to reduce the distance for utility connections,
- to have more garden space and less driveway or pathway area,
- and to keep some distance from the pine trees... they can catch fire during a dry summer. Yes, I know this sounds VERY paranoid, but I would still prefer to have some space between the house and the pines.
By the way: 1.5 stories means a pitched roof, which in my view means the gable runs east-west so that there is a large south-facing roof area for solar and photovoltaic panels.

Yes, exactly a gable roof. We also considered the orientation but want the slopes on the shorter walls to have more vertical surfaces.
Thank you very much for your input!

Eight times eight and a half and single-story is too much to die for and too little to live for, I would say. Being adjacent to the forest, I am surprised not to see any mention of a tree protection zone. The access through the neighboring property surprises me again.

I seem to be a bit blind today: first I desperately looked for plot 64... okay, found it.
Then I searched for the part with a gable roof, 1.5 floors... but okay, eventually combined and found it, apparently.
I would place the house (without considering the bright pine forest and/or the view) entirely to the north and connect the carport on the east side. That creates a nice southwest-facing garden.
The connections usually include up to 15 meters (50 feet) of trenching on the property. Additional meters are not very expensive, especially since you don’t have a parking plot. You can ask your local authority about the costs.
Do you already have planning documents for the floor plan discussion?
