Hello everyone,
we are currently considering the optimal orientation of the rooms on the ground floor for our plot.
The situation is as follows: the property has its large garden facing northeast with a slope. The ground floor will have a balcony facing northeast, with the basement underneath. The beautiful view clearly faces northeast. There are no houses nearby and the view extends far. On the southwest side, facing the street, a small terrace is planned for the evening.
Now the question is whether to orient the living area (living room) towards the back combined with the dining area to enjoy the nice view, or to plan the living area towards the front southwest side, so that a large window on the southwest side lets in light and sun. I’m sharing two floor plan ideas (11x9 m (36x30 ft) and 9x11 m (30x36 ft) – plot width 20 m (66 ft)) and the room layouts. I would appreciate your tips and suggestions on orientation. Personally, I find the living and dining area at the back more appealing, but I’m worried it might get too little light.

However, today I insisted that the plot be leveled so that we can better assess in advance whether side access is possible and how best to position the garage. As I said, we basically like the layout, but we want to make the most of the plot.
I would also recommend having large windows facing southwest. Additionally, try visiting the property at different times of the day to get a better feel for the lighting conditions.
Besides that, I would pay special attention to the window panes. The glazing should have a high light transmission value. Especially with triple glazing, there are very "dark" types of glass that could reduce the amount of natural light entering the building.

You mentioned above that plot 422 is yours,
and later you say the plot measures 20m x 35m (65.6ft x 115ft).
Is the garden area already deducted from the 35m (115ft)?
Plot 422 seems to have a length-to-width ratio of about 3 to 1.
Total area approximately 1200 sqm (12,917 sq ft)?

Watcher7828 Aug 2015 07:18Hello, that is correct. The plot still has a ground area of about 400 m² (4300 sq ft) in the northeast, which is not allowed to be built upon. The total size of the plot is approximately 1000 m² (11,000 sq ft), of which 650 m² (7000 sq ft) is designated as building land.
