- little wall space for furniture
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: 400,000 €
Personal budget limit for the house, including fittings:
Preferred heating system: air-to-water heat pump

If you have to give up anything, which details/upgrades

That’s great, but unfortunately the measurements are not readable.

And what about the driveway to the garage? I haven't quite been able to tell if the street is also at the lower level.

The street is at the top and on the left side. (north and west)

I feel like we've been going around in circles here for four pages. How about you provide the exact dimensions of your plot? Along with that, please include the dimensions of the building area. That would be helpful.

I am not sure. The scale is relative in your case. Either your measurements are incorrect or the plan is wrong.

Is it 31m (102 feet) east/west and 24.6m (81 feet) north/south?

East-west is about 35.5 m (116 feet) and north-south 28.5 m (94 feet). Unfortunately, I don’t have a precise plan yet and have been working with Floorplanner. Maybe I will open it for discussion once I receive a dimensioned plan from the engineering office. In the image, the yellow line represents 10 m (33 feet).
