Hello everyone,
I know no one has a crystal ball here, but I would still like to hear your opinions:
We have just purchased a plot of land in Hesse, currently live cheaply, and have no urgent time pressure to build (although sooner is always better), except for the 5-year building obligation required by the municipality, which, however, can be extended by 1-2 years for justified reasons. We have slowly started planning and would like to possibly have the completed plans along with the building permit for our new single-family home ready to go, so we can react relatively quickly.
My assessment is that construction prices and interest rates will change little in 2023, even if they might stabilize at a high level. How 2024 or 2025 will look, of course, no one knows. But what is your feeling:
1. Rush the planning and possibly take advantage of a small "interest dip" in 2023 for financing and start with the belief that neither interest rates nor prices will significantly fall in the medium term, and waiting is just lost time.
2. Plan completely calmly, continue to build up equity, and assume that conditions for a new build may improve by the end of 2024 or possibly 2025.
If things become more concrete soon, I would be happy to provide more information for planning and share your feedback.
I welcome any questions and opinions 🙂
Best regards

What is the best way to share the key points of the design and floor plans here? Sharing the design files or original drawings is not allowed without permission. In nearly six years, I have never encountered a case where a client was sued by their architect for showing photos of their plans. If you allow such a restriction, it means your contract with the architect was poorly negotiated.

The main consideration right now is simply the arrangement of the house, terrace, and garage on the plot (see sketches). With the blue option, I lose a lot of space to the south, so the terrace becomes smaller and moves close to the southern boundary. This also leaves little space for passage along the boundary. In the green version, the garden becomes smaller toward the east....

What does the architect suggest?
Where do you want to place the terrace?

I don’t know what the zoning plan says, but with the blue option, you could also consider swapping the building’s dimensions, so 11 m (36 feet) toward the southwest instead of 9 m (30 feet). That’s how it is oriented in my opinion.

as an initial preliminary draft, the blue option is proposed. This is basically similar to the version suggested by hanghaus2023 but loses more space towards the south. The reason for this is that the garage is 7m wide (23 feet) and there is a staircase between the garage and the house leading down to the garden and the basement/laundry room entrance.
This leaves just about 7.5m (25 feet) from the south side of the house to the property line. With a nice large terrace, there isn’t much space left towards the boundary, and if the neighboring plot to the south is ever developed, it would be right in front of you.
While we’re on the subject, since we have a good relationship with the neighbors to the north, it is still uncertain whether we want to place the garage directly on their boundary, as it could potentially cast shade on their terrace.
For these reasons, the green layout has also been proposed as an alternative.
