ᐅ Urban villa approximately 200 sqm with spacious double garage planned in Saarland

Hello, very nice discussion here. It would be great if you could stop by our forum sometime.

Is everyone aware that north is the legal front side? The west-facing orientation of some rooms and the terrace should at least allow sunlight in the afternoons. However, a north orientation of some living areas does not necessarily make them uncomfortable; sometimes it simply cannot be avoided. Also, the orientation of the plot—such as the view towards the street—can compensate for this. (Speaking from personal experience...)

But I find the house generally too large for the plot. With clever planning, you can fit a high quality of living into a 9 x 10 m (30 x 33 ft) footprint, and the garden would become much more spacious and better usable. This would also ease the budget, and making the necessary landscaping adjustments to the garden would seem much more realistic!

Probably not – but that doesn’t really make it any more appealing, because:

I would like to add: and the garage as well. The building on this plot basically always has to be squeezed in. With compromise plots, you simply have to make concessions regarding the building.

The site plan is not entirely up to date and is not oriented north - north is located in the upper right corner.

Not exactly, right? More like the upper right.

And then take a look at the neighbor’s existing garage, which is probably almost 3 meters (10 feet) high, plus the approximately 1.2-meter (4 feet) retaining wall blocks needed to stabilize the slope, and the “bay” of the garage from @Kevinius... So the sun might only briefly shine through in the evening when it’s lower in the sky?

I’m not a sun position expert, but I still believe that, in my opinion, not much sunlight reaches there. Of course, you have to make compromises depending on the plot, but from my point of view, there are too many here.

True to the motto, the water from a 20-euro showerhead is the same as from the LED-lit built-in showerhead

Do you mean foiled windows?

That's exactly how it looks. And of course simple architecture, without roof terraces or projections. Likewise, gas heating instead of a heat pump, no ventilation system. Just a simple front door, not 200 power outlets but only the minimum, etc.

Foiled windows? We will definitely have those – anthracite on the outside and white on the inside.
No colored accents in the exterior render – is that really necessary?
Small simple tiles – except for bathrooms, stairs, and utility room, we will mainly use vinyl flooring.
Laminate flooring – see above.
No roller shutters – definitely not, we will have electric roller shutters.
No rain shower – is that necessary? We are still not that far in the planning anyway.
No KNX or similar systems – what is that?
No walk-in shower – at least a very shallow shower tray, which is technically a better solution anyway.
Possibly no controlled mechanical ventilation – what is that?
Energy Saving Ordinance?
Gas heating instead of a heat pump – we want an air-to-water heat pump because we don’t want gas or solar.
No ventilation system – no, thanks. We prefer traditional natural ventilation...

No matter how I rotate the house on the plot, if I place the garden on the left side of the house plan, it will mostly be shaded there anyway, because the house is 2.5 floors high (plus a basement that stands over 1 meter (3.3 feet) above the current ground level), so that’s why we oriented the house this way. My concern was not the orientation itself but rather improvements to the general floor plan – kind of brainstorming.

Maybe this will calm some people down and we’ll get more ideas together.
I would be happy about that.

Best regards
Kevin

I also find some features a bit excessively playful, but the slope in the earthworks should not be underestimated. However, I’m not the one here who understands slopes well. Even though I’m good at thinking in 3D, the design of the slope overwhelms me... I probably need to try modeling it in a sandbox myself. Anyway, this belongs in the hands of an architect!

The house on the left side of the plan (and its “garden”) is visually an absolute disaster, so we don’t want a garden there. Unfortunately, the plot does not leave much room for orienting the garden; we were aware of this before the purchase. We made the best compromise for ourselves, since on the right side of the plan there is only the neighbor’s driveway, who lives “behind us” at the top of the slope. This area is partly greened and simply offers a nicer view.

Then create your own garden and plant a nice hedge so you don’t have to look beyond it.

That we are currently living with my parents-in-law and there we don’t feel uncomfortable in terms of lighting.

“But don’t feel uncomfortable” doesn’t necessarily mean “feel comfortable,” does it?

That’s not appropriate, trying to poach participants from discussions. As the original poster you sometimes have to wait 2–3 hours.
