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.

Grit Stephan7 May 2018 14:44We probably just need to find a solution for ourselves, accepting the compromises we can live with...
Because some priorities just don’t fit together... Unfortunately...
Sunlight all day long coming “into the house,” or a garden in a quiet location...
Everything on one level or actually two...
“Paths” in the garden, etc...
We are wondering to what extent it really matters for the sun to shine inside all year round, or whether, by the size of the windows and how it looks outside, enough natural light still comes in.
For example, in the house we currently live in, the surrounding buildings cast shadows.
The house itself is very tall... Which means the side facing away from the sun also appears very dark.
But how is it with a low house with large windows? Where the sun doesn’t shine directly inside, but everything around it is in the sun...

Grit Stephan8 May 2018 22:30After three visits to the site and further considerations, especially regarding the sun, I arranged the walls today as the living area would be positioned in our 1.5-story plan. (Only now we are directly next to the ditch, with the corner facing east).
This way, we would definitely use the garden towards the garage (with a patio door from the living room) and the back garden (patio door from the kitchen).
The question now is how to properly orient the other rooms... I would also be open to which direction the bedrooms face in this plan.
The drawback here is that we are close to the ditch and somehow separate the garden. But if the rest can be arranged better this way...? And the bedrooms wouldn’t be on the quiet side... or rather the children’s rooms wouldn’t face the garden... but if this allows more light into the living area...
The house is still a rectangle/square, partly for cost reasons. Storage space is planned in the utility room and attic.
However, I still have no clear plan on how to arrange all the other rooms in a sensible way.
Two children’s rooms, utility room (which makes sense towards the street?), with storage room or separate area (a small staircase to the attic, like in Nordlys, would be great), bathroom, guest toilet, and a small office. Gable roof.
Please ignore the terraces in the picture; they are not finalized. My focus was solely on the “living area” and its relationship to the garden and ditch...

I also wanted to ask about the costs.
But it’s already a few thousand more. Just between the L-shaped bungalow and the rectangular one. And in this case, the roof area is even larger than for 132m² (1420 sq ft) of living space, since not only the living area is considered.
Or rather, the internal area between the three rectangles probably also requires a foundation slab.
Well, I can report back once I know more.
Could you please upload the floor plan from 129 scaled down to just the house layout with one or two dimensions? It’s difficult to make out much from the current version.
You keep mentioning a trench... are you referring to the 6 meters (20 feet) that you have to keep as a setback from your property boundary? I understood that the trench would be located after those 6 meters (20 feet).
Is the position of the large tree really accurate? Like, about 15 meters (50 feet) from the side where the street is?

Is the position of the large tree really like that? So roughly 15 m (50 feet) from the side where the street is?The tree is approximately there.
I should probably go and measure again.
About the trench: the slope is quite steep.
We think that about 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) of the slope belong to the property.
The poplar tree is on the property and stands exactly at the start of the slope.
Only an official authority could measure this precisely.
In your plan, I believe the garage was also placed right on the building boundary line?
And the floor plan will be provided later.
