Dear forum members,
We have purchased a trapezoidal plot of land (874 sqm (9400 sq ft)) and are now faced with the task of efficiently placing a house (approx. 10 x 12 m (33 x 39 ft)) and a double garage on the property.
The north side borders a state road (top). The driveway to the property is from the south side (bottom).
We are still quite unsure and would appreciate your ideas and advice.
Thank you very much in advance for your effort!
Best regards
Andrea

I prefer to plan according to the "America first" principle, meaning the house for the family (including any unborn children) comes first and will only be shifted slightly at most in order to better arrange the overall layout. I will definitely not give equal priority to the space for the cars. If by chance what is left over is more elegant than a shabby leftover space, fine, the parking spots can have that – but they will not get a luxury box.

The floor plan of the house is still in the design phase, but not final yet, since the placement is also linked to where the front door is positioned. (around 180 sqm (1940 sq ft) of living space). How can you start planning at all (even “not final”) if the building plot is still unknown? – You can easily rotate a finished plan on paper, but then try telling the sun to rise in the north so it fits the house layout ;-)

There aren’t any male builders here, but two female builders. Oh, nice, at Baulotse Hoffmann they have that too – female builder & builder = builders 🙂

Yes, ground floor and attic with a 50 cm (20 inch) knee wall. There are no specifications regarding eaves or ridge height. However, we are not allowed to build more than two storeys. Quote that in more detail – careful, no link! – Often such regulations are complex and differentiated, for example, two-storey without, but single-storey also with a knee wall. With the mentioned roof pitch, an attic with a knee wall – even if it’s just a minimal knee wall – already counts as a full storey.

How can you even start planning (even just a preliminary plan) if you don’t yet know the building plot? You can easily rotate a finished floor plan on paper, but then try telling the sun to rise in the north so it actually fits the house ;-)
Oh yes, nice, at Baulotse Hoffmann they do that too – building planner & client = builders 🙂
Quote that – carefully, without a link! – in more detail. Often such requirements are complex and differentiated, for example, two-story buildings without, but single-story ones with a knee wall (kniestock). With the mentioned roof pitch, an attic with a knee wall – even if it’s just a small vacuum cleaner knee wall – already counts as a full storey. “The knee wall in residential buildings is only permitted in conjunction with a roof pitch of 42–44 degrees and a maximum height of 0.50 m (1.6 feet) measured from the top of the rough ceiling to the bottom edge of the structurally necessary wall plate.”
(…)
“Roof pitch 42–44 degrees with knee wall, 42–52 degrees without knee wall.”

Let me ask this way: how loud does the main road feel?
And:
How wide is the plot on the south side? The main road is a bit noisier during rush hours, so the further away you are, the better. The plot dimensions can be seen in the attached images; on the south side it is 15.04 m (49 feet).

The state road is a bit noisier during peak hours, so the further away you are from it, the better. How reliably does this apply at all elevations?

How reliable is this really at all heights?Could you please clarify what you mean exactly?
