Hello everyone,
I need your experience on the best way to position a house measuring 8.4 x 10.4 m (27.6 x 34.1 ft) on a trapezoidal plot of land to maximize usable garden space, while avoiding an excessively long driveway.
Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 665 m² (7,157 sq ft)
Slope: slight, facing northwest
Floor area ratio: 2, no basement
Building window, building line, and boundary: see plan
Building layout:
The longer upper side is about 30 m (98.4 ft) long
The shorter lower side is about 16 m (52.5 ft) long
The left side is 28 m (91.9 ft)
The right side is 30 m (98.4 ft)
The plot is marked in yellow on the overview map, where the cardinal directions can also be seen.
The blue box marks the building window – it’s quite large. Roof ridge orientation does not matter. However, the setback distance of 3 m (9.8 ft) for the house must be respected. The garage and storage can be placed anywhere. The driveway access must be from the lower street.
Floor area ratio: 0.35
Edge development: no
Number of parking spaces: 2
Carport for 2 cars instead of a garage
Storage with 20 m² (215 sq ft)
Orientation: that’s the question!
