ᐅ Orientation of a New House in a Residential Development in Brandenburg

Hello dear forum,
I’m trying again with a different question. We have a meeting with our architect coming up soon, so I wanted to gather some ideas here beforehand.
Our house will be a timber house with a combined block wall. It will be one and a half stories with a footprint of 8.5 * 8 m (28 * 26 ft).
The plot is located in a new development area in Brandenburg; you can see the orientation on my beautiful plan.
It is about 589 m² (6329 sq ft) (parcel 64, in WA 1), floor space index 0.4, 2 full floors, building height 10 m (33 ft). There are no other requirements.
I have attached the zoning plan twice, once with a white area indicating approximately where our plot is.
The driveway is on the southeast side, positioned laterally, and is 4.5 m (15 ft) wide. Right next to it is the utility connection—
I have a question about that as well: the plot is fully serviced, but how much does it typically cost to extend the utility connections on the plot in order to build the house at the desired location? I’ve read very different statements and am getting increasingly confused ^^
We are not planning a garage, maybe a carport, but not immediately.
On the east side of the property there is an existing building, but it is located at the easternmost part of the lot. Right next to ours is a carport and the neighbors’ garden.
To the south is another small plot of about 470 m² (5061 sq ft), with the utility connection at the street. To the west of our plot is another parcel where the utility connection is also at the street. To the north is a sparse pine forest with occasional birch trees.
In WA 6, multifamily buildings will probably be built, and WA 7 already has 3-story multifamily buildings.
If I forgot anything, please ask.
Where would you build your house on this plot? And why?
I would like to have a larger garden area, so I planned it relatively close to the east side (about 3 m (10 ft) away). I might also shift it a bit more to the north to have more space for a south-facing terrace. These are my current thoughts.

So, is it time to move to the gardening forum now?
Enjoy your new home, wishing you lots of comfort and all the best with your garden. And who knows? Maybe someday there’ll be a chubby one lying on the carpet again 😉 😎 Thank you so much, it really is wonderful to live here 🙂
Hehe, for now, the chubby phase is over — these last few years were really intense.
We’re actually quite active on Instagram with our garden account and, for the first time this year, we’re opening our (one and only) garden gate.

One more question: How much did the house build cost you?
Is the house 9 by 7.5 meters (29.5 by 24.6 feet), if I measure it correctly? The house measures 8 by 8.5 meters (26 by 28 feet). I just double-checked what exactly is included in the pure construction costs.
So, excluding the kitchen and additional building-related costs, we paid about €291,000. According to the building permit / planning permission, the living area is 102 m² (1,098 sq ft). That comes to roughly €2,852 per m² (about $265 per sq ft) of living space.
It includes high-quality hemp insulation, solid wood floorboards upstairs, slightly fancier light switches for us, a shower toilet, a black toilet, and extra costs for a few black fittings. The machines and tools we had to buy for the finishing work are also included. We were able to resell some of those.
With all additional building-related costs but excluding land and other expenses, the total was around €320,000.

Your house turned out fantastic! I follow you on Instagram and have to say, this is one of the most beautiful houses I know. Cohesive, cozy, and inviting.
I know a similar wooden house located at the end of a new housing development. You drive through a cookie-cutter estate in white and dark gray with robotic lawns and Thuja stone desert gabion front yards, arriving at a natural oasis with wooden houses. It amazes me every time. I don’t know your neighborhood, but I imagine it’s similar there.
Inside as well, your house is stunning. The colors, wallpapers, types of wood, tiles... everything just fits perfectly. So wonderfully genuine and authentic, unlike the polished social media homes. And you don’t offer any discount codes for that :p
Wishing you lots of joy in your home!Thank you so much 😉 No, I didn’t quite make it to influencer status 😀 Unfortunately, I don’t have a discount coupon for anything. But I’ve won at least 100 iPhones, with which we easily financed the house. Just kidding...
Thanks for your kind words, it really was fun documenting the entire construction process and I’m currently working on organizing all that content on Insta Highlights, since we mainly did Stories and didn’t post much. So that it wasn’t all for nothing.
I really wake up happy every morning, looking straight out at the forest from my bed—it’s simply magical!
Yes, the neighbors’ gardens could definitely be more natural, but I’m already working on that. We’ve actually become good friends with two of them, and in one garden, valuable native wild shrubs are already growing. In spring, we’ll build a butterfly spiral together.
But for now, it’s more like a winter wonderland...
And the view from the panoramic window 🙂

It has definitely calmed down for now, Oh, what a pity. Well, things have been really lively here since the end of March—if you know what I mean 😉
You have a lovely place!
