Hello everyone,
I have a question for you, or maybe someone has built something similar and can give me some tips 🙂
We want to build a single-family house with a granny flat. At first, that doesn’t seem like a problem... the challenge is that the granny flat should have a floor area of about 80 sqm (860 sq ft), and our house would have about 70 sqm (750 sq ft) on the ground floor and 80–90 sqm (860–970 sq ft) on the upper floor. How would you suggest dividing the space so the house doesn’t look too bulky? Our plot is 1050 sqm (11,300 sq ft). Everything can be built except a flat roof. The roof must have a pitch of 25°.
My ideas so far were a classic townhouse style with some flat roof elements alongside, or a double mono-pitched roof where one section is one story and the other is one and a half to two stories. I can’t quite imagine it with a gable roof.
I also don’t have a good sense of what would be cheaper or more expensive 🙂
I’d be really happy to get your replies 🙂
Good luck
Volker

Unfortunately, I couldn’t upload the entire sketch at once, so I had to split it.
So: my suggestion is the simplest and most cost-effective solution. Of course, you can also work with L-shaped layouts, staggered designs, etc.
It really depends on the plot of land. The land shapes the house!

Ultimately, it depends on the plot. The plot shapes the house!Thank you for your sketch. Regarding the plot, we have quite a bit of freedom. I have also posted the site plan here.

here is the site plan What do the blue lines represent – the distance of the carports from the street? (that looks like about 5m (16 feet))

I find it hard to imagine a house where a granny flat has 80 sqm (860 sq ft) on the ground floor, and the main house has about 70 sqm (750 sq ft) on the ground floor and 90 sqm (970 sq ft) upstairs. Which roof shape would suit this? So 80 + 70 = 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft) total on the ground floor would quite reliably result in 90 sqm (970 sq ft) in the roof space above both, with a gable roof.

It should definitely not look like a duplex. The granny flat should be inconspicuous. If both conditions are to be met, you can’t just place them side by side like a garage.
Also, the above calculation fits “classically” like a glove—any deviation would cause complications to still make it work.
You could render one part and use brick cladding on the other (or vice versa), and many other options.
