Hello housebuilding forum members,
I enjoy reading this forum and would like to share our planning for discussion. Our plot is designated as parcel number 173/6.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 498 m² (driveway approx. 60 m² (645 sq ft))
Slope: No
Site coverage ratio: No development plan (§34 Building Code)
Floor area ratio: No development plan (§34 Building Code)
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 3 m (10 ft) from plot boundary according to Bavarian Building Regulations
Edge development: none
Number of parking spaces: 1
Number of floors: 1.5
Roof type: Gable roof with a pitch of 40-45°
Architectural style: Single-family house
Orientation: Ridge line East/West
Placement on the plot: Northwest
Maximum height / limits: approx. 9 m (30 ft) (§34 Building Code)
Immediate neighbors: North neighbor 1.5 floors with gable roof. South neighbor single floor with hip roof. West neighbor 1.5 floors with gable roof. Next-nearest neighbor south 1.5–2 floors with gable roof and knee wall >1.2 m (4 ft).
Owner’s requirements
Style, roof type, building type: Gable roof, knee wall 1.4 m (4.5 ft), single-family house
Basement, floors: Usable basement (concrete), ground floor, upper floor
Number of people, age: 4 (2 adults + 2 toddlers)
Room requirements on ground and upper floors: Ground floor (kitchen, living room, shower bath, wardrobe, office), upper floor (2 bedrooms, 2 children’s rooms, bathroom)
Office: Home office
Guest bedrooms per year: 0
Open or closed architecture: Tending rather closed
Conservative or modern construction: Modern

Number of dining seats: 6–8
Fireplace: No
Music/sound wall: No
Balcony, roof terrace: No
Garage, carport: Garage or carport
Utility garden, greenhouse: No
Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, also with reasons why some features are wanted or not:
House design
Planner:
- Do-it-Yourself
What do you particularly like? Why?: Shower niches in the bathrooms, large children’s rooms facing west, L-shaped living-dining area instead of a narrow layout
What do you dislike? Why?: Upper floor bathroom, office located in the southeast instead of northwest
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: 580,000 EUR
Personal price limit for house including fittings:
Preferred heating technology: Air-to-water heat pump with underfloor heating.
If you had to give up, which details / extensions
- could you give up:
Office on ground floor (if replaced by usable basement space)
- could you not give up:
4 bedrooms
Why is the design as it is now?
Requirements and many attempts with our furniture. As much garden as possible on the south and east sides.
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
How much clearance should be planned on the north side for the garage or carport? The passage should allow room for people and bicycles (bicycle shed planned behind the garage/carport). Is the overall design usable or have we overlooked something?
Best regards,
Hausbaurer

A house is currently being built to the north. It is located in the northeast of plot number 173/5. Moving the house to the east could potentially lead to higher development costs, possibly requiring an inspection shaft/sump pump system, etc.
The gravel road cannot be used as an access route; the houses to the north apparently still have some form of legal protection or exemption.

Moving the house further east could potentially lead to higher development costs, possibly requiring an inspection chamber/pumping station, etc. Under the condition that the house should be positioned as far west as possible, I would orient the main living areas—such as the living room and terrace—toward the southeast. The access remains tricky if a turning area on your plot is a requirement. But the neighbor beyond next to the north manages it just fine ;-) Have you based your plans quite a bit on that neighbor?
By the way, the houses to the north have their east sides pretty much aligned and quite close to the (east) property boundary. This could be some kind of building line that you might have to observe according to §34. It would be interesting to know exactly where the house directly north of yours is located. If that’s the case, the room layout should be different than if you were allowed to build as far to the west as possible (i.e., 3m (10 feet) from the neighbor’s boundary). I would clarify this before investing too much time and emotional attachment in the floor plan.

No, his garage doors are supposed to face west. I don’t understand that. How is he supposed to access the garages from the west, passing by his existing house? And you also mention an entrance platform of his on the north side right by the street. I can’t see that. Where is my thinking wrong?

I can’t see that. Where is my mistake in thinking? This is how I currently understand it (although the neighbor’s driveway past the house is less than 3m (10 feet) wide):
Does this look correct, @Hausbaurer?

Hausbaurer1 Mar 2023 12:04Exactly, here with the entrance base.
Just a thought: if the neighbor constantly uses your driveway, will they also help with repairs if it gets damaged?
Do you already have a company in mind to build with, or are you planning to start exploring first to get a feel for the plot?
Can you also provide the measurements of the plot (the overall rectangle is enough, excluding the driveway)?
