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

What are the blue lines – are they the distance of the carports from the street? (That looks like about 5m (16 feet))
So 80 + 70 = 150 sqm (1615 sq ft) total ground floor would quite accurately result in 90 sqm (969 sq ft) in the attic over both, with a pitched roof.The blue line is a wall in the garden. A distance of 3 meters (10 feet) must be maintained from this wall, as well as from the street or neighboring properties.
90 sqm (969 sq ft) in the attic if the knee wall starts directly on the first floor? Is there a formula for this calculation or is it based on experience?

If both conditions are to be met, you can’t simply place them next to each other like a garage.
Also, the calculation above fits perfectly “classically,” so that any deviation would cause complications to make it fit again.
You can plaster one part and use brick cladding on the other (or vice versa), and many other options.That’s correct. Also, we are talking about a granny flat here, not a duplex, which could be separated or registered separately in the land registry.

90 is 60% of 150. That’s a rough rule of thumb formula for a gable roof with approximately 35 to 40° pitch without a knee wall.

Also, we are talking here about a granny flat / accessory apartment and not a two-family house, which could be separated or registered separately in the land registry. Yes, but building the accessory apartment over the other residential unit wouldn’t prevent that.

Yes, but building over the granny flat together with the other living unit wouldn’t prevent that.However, since it is not supposed to be perceived as a separate unit, there is no need to visually separate it on the facade.
Where is it complicated to build a house with a bit more volume, where on the ground floor a granny flat is carved out?
