Hello,
I am looking for real-life experiences or others who have faced the same challenges on this topic.

How have you solved the issue of wanting to look out from the living area into the garden while also ensuring that area receives light and sun?

Please, no theoretical considerations—I am already familiar with those. I am interested in practical insights: what is daily life really like with your chosen layout, pros and cons included.

For better understanding, attached are the site map and initial plan. The house will be 8 meters (26 feet) wide on the narrow northeast side and 11 meters (36 feet) on the long side. The street runs southwest.

No, honestly: you can live with it... everything has been said.
But I also admit that I like full sunlight in an open-plan living area 🙂

Me too. I'm just enjoying the sun shining into my living room, and it will keep doing so until this afternoon.

Of course, you can live with a dark room. But you need to be aware of that when planning.

I initially mentioned some alternatives. So it’s not a disaster.

… just go into the sun while it’s there 😉
