Hello everyone, we are currently in negotiations:
508m² (5474 sq ft), facing east, with a front width of 15.10 m (50 feet) and therefore about 32 m (105 feet) long, since the rear width is approximately 16 m (52.5 feet).
We are allowed to build according to §34a [34a].
That means for us: in line with the neighboring buildings.
So the house will start about 1.50 m (5 feet) from the street. We want to build a single garage to the left side of the house, so on the north side. We also want a carport on the south side. We plan to build without a basement. Therefore, the utility room needs to be on the ground floor, and we also need a workshop room for my husband. The question is: should we outsource the workshop and attach it to the garage, or integrate it into the house? The house will be about 9 m (30 feet) wide, but nothing else is fixed yet.
We want a fireplace in the living room and a walk-in closet in the master bedroom. Since we don’t have gas supply, we want to heat with an air-source heat pump. We received a suggestion to install the air-source heat pump in a room behind the garage.
By the way, we don’t have children yet but want one, maybe two. We are currently 30 and 31 years old. Construction is planned to start this fall.
So far, we have rough floor plan sketches, but we are already so focused that no new ideas are coming to us.
We would like a townhouse-style villa with around 135–145 m² (1450–1560 sq ft).
Oh, and the master bedroom should face the garden, oriented south/east. The children’s bedroom preferably north/west.
Does anyone have floor plan suggestions?
Have I forgotten anything important?
The house width max. 9 m (30 feet)
House length up to 12 m (39 feet) possible.
This is roughly the building envelope.

Do you have the 12 meters (39 feet) in writing? The regional building code only allows 9 meters (30 feet).Yes, I read it somewhere online and the lady at the building authority is an acquaintance. Here in Saarland, it's 12 meters (39 feet). Really!
4. Garages including storage rooms, outbuildings, and ancillary facilities for parking and storage, except for the storage of materials with explosive or high fire risk, as well as greenhouses up to 12 meters (39 feet) total length per property boundary; the gross volume of each individual outbuilding, ancillary facility, and greenhouse must not exceed 30 cubic meters (1,059 cubic feet); garages and outbuildings may additionally be fully or partially basemented for storage or parking purposes. Okay, the 12 meters (39 feet) works. Now I’m coming to the next point: 30 cubic meters (1,059 cubic feet) might be a bit tight for the garage, don’t you think?
