Hello everyone,
we want to build a house. I was able to get the plot from my mother, and in return, she will have her own apartment (granny flat) within the house. There will be two separate entrance doors to the house as a precaution. My previous post was here, but personal, political, and building authority issues have caused significant delays, which have had both positive and negative effects.
Development Plan / Restrictions (Requests from the Building Authority since there is no formal development plan)
Plot size: approx. 1300m² (at least 1/4 for the granny flat)
Slope: none
Floor area ratio: no formal development plan
Site coverage ratio: no formal development plan
Building envelope, building line and boundary: no formal development plan, but the building authority requests at least 3 meters (10 feet) from the street
Peripheral construction: maximum 9.0 m (30 feet) for garages up to 3.0 m (10 feet) high
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: two floors without a finished attic
Roof style: preliminary building application was for a gable roof with no dormers; according to the building authority, maximum roof pitch is 35°
Architectural style: no specification
Orientation: no specification
Maximum height/limits: 10.20 m (33.5 feet) (in discussions with the building authority, please not higher than 10.5 m (34.4 feet))
Other requirements: residential building should not become larger
Homeowners’ Requirements
Architectural style, roof shape, building type: gable roof
Basement, floors: 2 full floors
Number of people, age: currently 1+1 persons, 36 (myself) and mother 60 (granny flat occupant)
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor: self: 240m² (2583 sq ft) + granny flat: 75m² (807 sq ft)
Office: family use or home office? both home office
Guests per year: occasionally 2 adults + 2 children
Open or closed design: open design

Open kitchen, kitchen island: both with open kitchen and kitchen island
Number of dining seats: 6 own + 4 in granny flat
Fireplace: yes, in both apartments
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: not necessary
Garage, carport: garage, no garage or carport for granny flat
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons for certain preferences:
House Design
Who designed it: DIY by myself, now finalized by architect
What do you like most and why? Majority of walls overlap
What do you dislike and why? Now only the chimney remains in the granny flat or upper floor
Price estimate according to architect/planner: not available yet
Personal budget limit for house including features: (total) 700,000 + significant own contribution and family help
Preferred heating technology: fireplace and air heat pump
If you have to give up something, which details/extensions
-can you give up: second floor and garage will be built later
-can you not give up: fireplace in both apartments
Why is the design as it is now? e.g.
Standard design by planner? Plan from Virtus, Team Massivhaus, and own ideas
Corresponding / which wishes were implemented by the architect?
My apartment:
Granny flat:
Wishes:
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad?
Bad:
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?

Why is the design as it is now? e.g.
Standard design by planner? Plan from Virtus, Team Massivhaus, and own ideas
Corresponding / which wishes were implemented by the architect?
My apartment:
- Parents’ bedroom (only one door) + dressing room + private bathroom (shower and large bathtub)
- 3 children’s rooms (min. 16m² (172 sq ft)) with separate bathroom (shower + bathtub)
- 2 offices
- Living room (min. 20m² (215 sq ft)) with fireplace
- Kitchen (min. 15m² (161 sq ft)) + kitchen island
- Dining room for 5 persons
- Bathroom downstairs + shower
- 1 sauna inside in the attic (or outside)
Granny flat:
- Standard with office
Wishes:
- A separate room/hallway between bathroom and living areas
- All rooms to have windows (at least the bathrooms)
- Laundry room (upstairs or attic)
- Access to garden (west and north)
What do you think makes it particularly good or bad?
- Good: almost symmetrical arrangement of windows and doors
- Separation into up to 4 sections possible later in case of emergency
- Bedroom and laundry room upstairs to avoid carrying laundry through whole apartment
- No skylights
- All bathrooms have windows
Bad:
- Office downstairs can only be used as bedroom if storage is built under the stairs
- Since the driveway is on the south side, the house has now been rotated
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
- Was anything overlooked in the plan?
- Where should the chimney in the granny flat be placed?
- Is the dressing room too large?
- Should the garage be rotated?

Um, okay, maybe you understand "parts" differently than I do, but the layout really stands out. Depending on the layout, only short drywall partitions with doors need to be installed, but I get that you’ve probably never seen or done something like this before. Parking spaces, really—aren’t 7 parking spots enough for you? Should I plan 14 parking spots for 7 people, or maybe even 21? In my opinion, you don’t really need any parking spaces at all. But maybe a local regulation or building permit / planning permission specifies how many are required per residential unit. Often it’s 2 parking spaces per unit, so 8 “trees.”

The latter has a few additional requirements compared to building class 2.

Building class 3 has a few more requirements compared to building class 2. And it requires a development plan / zoning plan that allows multi-family houses in the first place.

And it requires a land-use plan that allows multi-family houses in the first place.In my opinion, there is no land-use plan. That’s why I asked about the surroundings. Unfortunately, I received a rather insufficient answer. The neighbor on the left is definitely much smaller. Unfortunately, building lines cannot be identified either.Similar topics
