Hello,
we have a building plot and everything is still possible.
Of course, we have wishes and ideas.
Just like people are different, we all build our houses differently...
I’m interested in how you would approach having two sides, namely the east and south sides, facing a green area: but with a tree preservation and planting requirement on the south side...
And you want to be part of this garden...
Here are the facts as suggested by the moderation:
Plot size 1159 sqm (12,470 sq ft)
No slope, only a slight incline along a ditch, but it’s on the building boundary anyway. With trees and planting according to the development plan on the long side, where a tree already stands. Building boundary on the long side 6 meters (20 feet). The rest 3 meters (10 feet).
Floor area ratio known only as a percentage: 60% may be built on.
Plot ratio unknown at the moment, definitely ridge height 12 meters (39 feet). Surrounding buildings are mostly one and a half stories, and bungalows are planned. There are practically no restrictions.
Building window, building line and boundary
Edge development, only known after consulting authorities, our plan fits...
Number of parking spaces 3
Number of floors 1 (1.5 floors would also be conceivable)
Roof shape gable roof.
Style simple bungalow
Orientation? See plan.
Maximum heights/restrictions
Other requirements are met.
2 neighbors.
One on the north side and one on the west side, but only on a small section.
The rest of the west side is the access driveway.
Client requirements
We have no particular style preference; for us, the important thing is that we found a nice building plot in this location at all and that we focus more on a reasonable budget, finding an affordable mortgage payment, and being able to live well in the long term.
Household of 4 people, visitors 3-5 (at once) at least 4 weekends per year... We have a caravan that is used as an extra bedroom for us.
An office and workspace would be very advantageous for us as technology and craft enthusiasts.
Sufficient space on a small footprint.
The living area could also be open up to the roof... Or have a ceiling like the other rooms. But no exact idea yet... The structural engineering should be feasible, but it’s not yet decided what budget we want to allocate to that...
Whether conservative or modern... I’d say a healthy mix. In any case, with
an open kitchen, a small kitchen island (not a must) but reasonable storage space in the kitchen. As a mom, I want to be part of the busy life, and I can no longer imagine having a separate kitchen.
A basement is not essential.
Double garage planned. Possibly a carport.
Number of dining seats: 6 definitely, 8 would be great.
A fireplace is planned.
Wishes/particulars/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be:
1. Room layout:
Bedroom on the long side, as that’s the quiet green side. The kitchen and living room should be basically part of the garden.
The kitchen has morning and evening sun.
The entrance is at the front because we decided that a side entrance near the neighbor—for example: getting out of the car and around the corner, behind the house—is too far away for us, and the front facing the street would otherwise only have a window for the utility room...
Terrace location still open. Probably there will be two... The evening sun will come around again.
House design
Who is the plan by:
Idea from the internet, adapted plan created by ourselves.
All windows on the south side are floor-to-ceiling. Two patio doors: one facing east, one to the south off the dining room. Kitchen sink window has a lower window section. Another kitchen window is also floor-to-ceiling.
Other rooms (bathroom, guest WC, office, utility room) standard height.
Oh, and the kitchen island here is probably drawn too large. Actually, it would be 1 meter (3.3 feet) on the sides and 1.5 meters (5 feet) facing the kitchen counter.
What do you particularly like? Why?
Bedroom on a quiet side, no neighbor.
Kitchen and living room basically part of the garden, also a corner without neighbors, facing the green.
What don’t you like? Why?
Storage room too far from the kitchen, but still the best solution... And my plan is to fit as much as possible into the kitchen.
Cost estimate, somewhere between 150,000 and 220,000 (without garage and without outdoor facilities)
Preferred heating technology: not settled yet, we are currently looking into air-source heat pumps.
If you had to give up something, which details/extras
- could you live without:
- could you not live without:
Bedroom, living, and kitchen must face the green side...
Fireplace must be included,
2 children’s rooms,
Bathtub must be included...
I could maybe do without a second patio door? And kitchen layout, I’m still open.
Looking forward to your suggestions and feedback.
I hope for constructive, respectful criticism.

Nordlys, there are probably regional differences regarding additional construction costs. For us, the temporary construction electricity, including installation, removal, and monthly inspections, has already cost over 1000 euros, and that was before any kilowatt consumption.
For us, the additional construction costs excluding the exterior landscaping and garage were approximately 40,000 euros.

Here is a basic idea of how the layout could be divided. Essentially, a larger central section with a recessed master and children’s wing. I would still adjust the room layout and the central section, as I don’t find it ideal in the example shown.
My main focus here was the overall concept, fitted into the site plan.
I would position both children’s rooms with windows facing west.
I would arrange the bedroom with sleeping area windows facing east/south.
Terraces could surround the house, all accessible from the central room. This would provide a suitable seating area for every sun and heat situation. In summer evenings, you could enjoy a barbecue between the kitchen/central room and the garage with the last rays of the northwest sun.
If you like this basic idea, we could work a bit more on refining the floor plan.

What are these measurements, Kerstin?
I have these ones here
And even if you are allowed to extend the building envelope by 1.5 meters (5 feet) with a bay window, I still don’t see the “simple house” that one would draw here.
What I have drawn is irrelevant because you can’t plan accurately with this scale. It was only about the building envelope.
Unless this is a completely different site plan that we are not seeing here, but that @11ant might know now, I see hardly any possibility for a bungalow – even if the building envelope is exceeded here and there. After all, the terrace also has to fit within it.

It is 36.1 m (118.4 ft), and I simply took the site plan you linked and roughly scaled it into my CorelDRAW file. That’s why the measurements show some discrepancies—it’s not accurate to within 10 cm (4 inches).
At first, I had read it as 26 m (85 ft), but after adjusting the scale and measuring, I consistently ended up with about 36 m (118 ft) on the side. So I enlarged the graphic significantly, and there you can clearly see that it is probably 36 m (118 ft).

However, I initially read 26 meters (85 feet), but when I checked my scale adjustment, I consistently measured about 36 meters (118 feet) on the side and then greatly enlarged the graphic. That made it clear that it is probably 36 meters (118 feet).Unfortunately, a grid block can’t do the reverse calculation. Too bad!
Well, better that way and a spot for a bungalow.
