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.

Site plan of the development and landscape plan WA at Zauberwald, Annex 4, parcels and road network.


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!

This is a better way to visualize it.
