ᐅ Orientation of the house and garden towards the east

Hello everyone,

I am currently considering purchasing a planned semi-detached house with a plot of land (I have already written about this in another topic here). My question and concern is the following: it is a sloped plot (slight incline), so part of the basement can be used as living space facing west, which I really like. However, the garden at the back faces east. That means it is level but against the slope, so this part will be flattened. Now my question: does anyone have experience with an east-facing garden? It would still get light from the south (from the side). I am a bit worried it might be quite dark. Since I have never had an east-facing garden before but almost always a south-facing one, which was practically always too hot, I wanted to ask for your opinions. Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Do you not have any photos of the plot? I can’t see any slope or elevation differences in the pictures.

Where is the street? A terrace can also be designed around the corner.

Here are some better pictures... I have covered the neighboring houses. But you can see it clearly now. The view is from the street.
Slope with grass, building in the background; three large white overlays cover parts.

Slope with grass, concrete wall, snow remains; shadow of a person.

I have no idea what the pictures are supposed to show. Where is the other half of the duplex supposed to go? Who will be building it?

A proper site plan with the sketched house and/or an excerpt from Google Maps would be much more helpful. Ideally, with a north arrow.

Is the street oriented north, south, east, or west? Or in more precise directions like northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest?

I have never seen the plot. So, more information is generally needed to understand your situation.

... these pictures provide no useful information without scale or surrounding buildings – unless you are offering a round of crystal balls.

This shows nothing at all, what’s the point of this?
There’s no need to cover neighboring houses – just look up the “Friesenhaus” ruling – I would only pixelate people.
A picture that only the person who took it can recognize has zero information value. This is nonsense.
