Unfortunately, the development plan does not allow that. The upper floor must be recessed by at least 1.50 m (5 feet).

But here it rather seems to project out that much, instead of being recessed (?)

It must be set back on the south side. On the north side, it overhangs. That is correct.

Has anyone already asked you about your budget limit?
With €450,000 (about $485,000), you won’t be able to build a house of that size.

When the shell contractor gets the detailed plans, the shell construction alone will cost over €220,000 (about $237,000). My guess is that there won’t be much left to achieve the desired appearance or quality standard from the outside to the inside, if you know what I mean!?
