Hello everyone,
our municipality will soon be selling building plots in a new development area. We are currently trying to select the "best" plots... I know, that sounds very optimistic... but in the application we have to name 5 building plots that would be suitable for us.
Of course, the plots at the edges with an unobstructed view of fields and vineyards are the most sought after. Below I have attached a screenshot showing the 2 (in my opinion) best plots (the plan is oriented north). We would like to take advantage of the beautiful view and install a large window front (a kind of glass façade) on the west side. On the south side, we want a lift-and-slide door (about 400cm x 250cm (13 feet x 8 feet 2 inches)) – marked in red on the picture. The distance to the property boundary would be only about 5.5m (18 feet).
The house should be an Energy Efficiency House 40 (Effizienzhaus 40). My husband is a bit skeptical about the glazing on the west side. He thinks the window front should be on the south side – but there we would not have a free view...
There are also 3 plots with neighbors on the south side. The problem there is that the house would be positioned a bit lower and the free view would be about 1.5 to 2m (5 to 6.5 feet) above the single-family house. So, you would have to look upwards or plan the living room on the first floor.
What do you think? Would having the glazing on the west side be a deal breaker for an Energy Efficiency House 40? Textile sunshades are planned.
We intend to consult an energy advisor only after we have a confirmed allocation for a specific plot.
It is important for me to start thinking early about a potential building plot – with all the pros and cons...

What put me off was the narrow strip of garden we wrote about. An interior space has four walls. When you want to furnish it, you place the sofa so that you have a pleasant view INTO THE ROOM, not facing a wall.
Do you understand what I mean? This also applies to the garden: don’t focus on the measurement next to your boundary line, but arrange the garden using sight lines.
And a beautiful hedge, which by the way also needs its meter (yard), can look stylish in the background.

Just a quick note, the garage is allowed up to 2.5 m (8 feet 2 inches) from the street. That makes the house significantly larger. Is that stated in the building plan / planning permission that I haven’t read? 😳
That’s great, makes things a bit more relaxed 🙂

What are the plans for further development? Are additional phases planned? The last thing you want is to design a window front and in 10 years your new neighbor is looking straight inside. The beautiful view is to the west. The north and south sides will be built on anyway. The street is to the east.
That’s the way to plan, finished.
