Hello everyone!
I think my partner and I have found our dream house!
Before we get too committed, I wanted to ask the community how you would position a house like this on the plot. A 7x9m (23x30 feet) double garage is planned next to the house.
The floor plan can still be mirrored or modified.
Our plot is number “83”.
The buildable area starts 10m (33 feet) from the existing road. One-sided boundary construction is allowed, otherwise there is a 3m (10 feet) setback from the property lines.
One big question we have is whether to orient the house with the front door facing the street or rotate it 90° so that the nicely offset shed roof is more visible?
I’m looking forward to your opinions. If anyone wants to share their thoughts on the floor plan or anything else, please feel free!

If the space around the dining table requires a "bay window" area, this is actually a design flaw, even if the home builder’s clients like to interpret it as an architectural feature :-(

The current preference would be for the same floor plan, but with a knee wall height of 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in) and a standard gable roof.I last wrote about knee walls here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/welche-dachform-bei-unguenstigem-bebauungsplan.49959/page-5https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Do you have a development plan? And does it specify anything about the floor area ratio? If you consider the commonly used ratio of 0.3, this would leave you with only about 5 square meters (approximately 54 square feet) for the terrace with this house and the double garage in the desired size (rough estimate, don’t hold me to that). You should definitely check this, and also make sure whether a 50% exceedance for ancillary structures is allowed or excluded in the planning permission / building permit.

Nevertheless, my recommendation remains that you should definitely keep an eye on what the building permit / planning permission specifies, as has been mentioned here already.
