Wow, I really like this!
Do you happen to have a drawing with dimensions?
I would extend the garage up to the 3m (10 feet) limit towards the street.
The complex building design will probably increase the costs as well, right?

Yep, I’ll upload it shortly – including the measurements. Unfortunately, I’m not an architect or structural engineer. It probably depends on the construction method you choose. It’s actually not that complex in terms of layout.

@BeHaElJa ... not bad .. 😉 I had also considered extending the house like that. So far, I just hadn’t come up with a good solution for the sharp corner. The shower is great.

A hip roof might be complicated, and unfortunately, that’s probably a requirement.

And no, don’t move the garage too far forward, then there won’t be any space for a car in front of it.

Wasn’t there a budget limit of 180,000? Or am I confusing something?

You're actually doing really well with that @BeHaElJa 😉

Okay, I hadn’t considered parking in front of it. But I do need the garage to be at least 5.5 meters (18 feet) long.
