Hello,
we are considering building on a plot where, after accounting for the garage and setback from the property line, only 10 meters (33 feet) of width remain for the house. The entrance would also need to be positioned accordingly.
We especially like bungalows with a covered entrance area and columns, but I’m not sure if that style works well with a relatively narrow bungalow and whether the rooms can be arranged efficiently, since the hallway tends to be located centrally because of the front door. This is how it is in most of the houses we have seen so far, but those are usually much wider.
The plot extends 32 meters (105 feet) deep, so there is space to build towards the back.
Does anyone have pictures, links, or even better, have personally built something like this?

the garage is not an issue for us; it can be located elsewhere.
We already have the floor plan. I’m not quite sure how to send it to you here.
Best regards

unser_schloss27 Jul 2019 00:26One more addition: We had also considered a bay window that wouldn’t affect the building setback requirements, but in the end, we decided against it. Maybe this could be of interest to you.
It seems that sending messages is only possible after you have posted a few times... I haven’t been very active here yet either.
The bay window is something completely new for us... why doesn’t it affect the setback area?
We would also like to have a roof with columns at the front door, which needs to be quite centered, making the entire floor plan design more complicated...

If the bay window is only 1 meter (3 feet) deep and, I believe, only about one-third of the house width, it probably does not affect the setback area.
