Dear Forum,

Since our preferred building area is no longer available due to planning issues or will be significantly delayed, we have started looking for new plots near Berlin.
After months of searching, we have finally found a suitable plot.

We are now wondering where the house should be roughly positioned on the lot.

Information:
Plot size: 608 m² (6540 sq ft)
Slope: yes, on the northeast side
Building setback and boundary: 3 m (10 ft) from the neighbor
Edge development: permitted for garages, carports, sheds
Parking spaces: 1–2
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Height limit: none

I have roughly drafted a layout plan by hand:

Grundriss: Grundstück mit Haus (blau), Terrasse, Carport, Garten (Grün), Straßenseite


We have already marked the house on it. However, we are unsure:
1. Does the house make sense in this position?
2. Should we choose a rectangular footprint instead of a townhouse style?

What are your thoughts?

Thank you very much for your advice!

Archaeological site, seriously: have Arminius and Caesar actually entrenched themselves against each other right in your garden?

More likely Erich and Josef. 😉 But if that's the case...

Is access via the service road mandatory or preferred, or could you also enter your property from the main road to the south? Perhaps this would offer a few more options for positioning the carport. Well, maybe just different ones rather than better ones 🙂

The dune sounds like the coast.

You are allowed to dig into the dune, right?

I planned the double carport. But if you only have one car, at least a second parking space should be provided.

It already looks a bit like a slope. Do you possibly have a site elevation plan? You should have that for the planning.

Is the picket fence the property boundary?

The neighbors have left about 3m (10 feet) to the fence clear—is that also planned for your side?

Hopefully, it’s not a migrating sand dune 😳 😱

Once the construction is finished, definitely. 😉
