Hello everyone,
We are planning to build a new townhouse in the Homburg/Saar district.
We have been working with an independent architect for about six weeks and are slowly approaching the final stages of the planning, as the design meets our expectations except for the kitchen.
There is no zoning plan, so we need to align with the neighborhood.
All nearby houses have two full floors plus an attic.
The municipality was open to exceptions because behind our property there is a flat-roof bungalow, which is quite unusual for the area.
Zoning Plan / Restrictions
Homeowner Requirements
House Design
We would appreciate your feedback.
We are happy to answer any questions – don’t hesitate to ask.
The site plan is not fully up to date and is not oriented to the north – north is in the upper right corner.
Best regards
Kevin

99.9% build living spaces facing south or west.
There is not only the hot summer but also spring, autumn, and winter. Natural light is much appreciated during these seasons.
400,000 including groundwork, garage, additional construction costs, and fittings is by far not enough. That’s exactly the point. Without increasing the budget, the house cannot be realized in this form. Even with standard specifications for additional features, the amount cannot be maintained.
For a project that is supposedly in the final phase, I would call this a disaster. Most of it has already been said. The house will be a dark hole with a shady, gloomy garden pressed up against the neighbor’s fence. On top of that, there’s an uncomfortable living room, a kitchen that feels like walking on eggshells, and I won’t even start on the whole dressing room-bathroom issue.
In my opinion, the entire concept should be scrapped immediately. No amount of fiddling around, pulling here or moving things there will fix it. The only solution is to start over with someone who can design a bright, pleasant house with natural light and well-designed rooms, practical layouts, and a nice sunny garden.
I know this sounds harsh. But you are investing a HUGE amount of money. Once the house is built, it will be too late.
