Hello, I have the opportunity to purchase a plot of land in the Hannover region with an old Okal prefabricated house. We would remove the existing house and potentially use the existing basement (which is dry). Now the challenge – the development plan specifies the following: II, floor area ratio 0.15 in the WR zone – the plot is 926 m2 (9,965 sq ft) and faces west – which results in 139 m2 (1,495 sq ft) – is that correct?
We are a young modern family of three and can imagine living in a small house. However, I currently have no idea how much net living space would remain, nor how the house could be designed.
Can I get some ideas here? Are there similar cases? I am attaching the current basement plan.
What we like:
cubist architectural styles
covered terraces
open living concepts

montessalet1 Apr 2019 07:45Here is a summary:
- Development plan from the 1960s
- Floor area ratio of 0.15
Now it is 2019: today, the opposite generally applies—you are supposed to use land efficiently rather than “waste” it. I find it hard to believe that a floor area ratio from the 1960s could still be strictly enforced today. Either there is an updated development plan (after all, over 50 years have passed) or adjustments are made through informal exceptions to align with current standards.
I would remain optimistic—and I would have already submitted a preliminary inquiry to the building authority, either informally through the architect or directly.

I am looking forward to the floor plans (the actual topic).

You can save a lot of effort if the building department allows a generous or even a small deviation.
