ᐅ Aligning a House on a Plot: North-South or East-West – What to Consider?

Hello everyone, we have a plot of land of 1178 m2 (12682 sq ft). We would like to build in a way that allows for a second house in the future—as an option only, without any concrete plans at this time. We are currently considering four "sketched" layouts. Our current preference is the red option, oriented north-south on the west half of the plot. We believe this would provide good natural light. Alternatively, we are also considering the green option, oriented east-west on the south half. In our opinion, the other two options don’t make much sense. If a second house were added, we would be quite "sandwiched" here.

Any thoughts on this?

… whatever!
(Yvonne, just don’t get upset about incorrect specifications in the forum)
The original poster has templates, and you can work very well with those yourself to determine if the wheelchair will still have enough space on the driveway later on 😉
