Hello everyone,
We are currently in the final stages of building our house and are facing a fundamental issue.
We are constructing a multi-family house (upper floor rented out / 100 m² (1,076 sq ft)) and will also be moving in ourselves. My wish is to have a double garage for two vehicles.
Due to the large floor area of the garage, the idea arose over time to include a basement underneath, which is why a staircase (1 m (3.3 ft) wide instead of 1.10 m (3.6 ft) as originally planned) has now been added.
However, I am now concerned that the remaining width of 5.44 m (17.9 ft) may be a bit too narrow. The mason has suggested, since the garage will be built with masonry anyway, extending the width by 50 cm (20 inches) outward toward the property boundary. This would leave a remaining width of 3.03 m (10 ft) between a potential carport next to the garage and the property boundary. The adjacent property is family-owned.
The question is whether this idea of extending the garage is feasible and compatible with the basement staircase. We would prefer not to park cars in front of the garage or only fit one car inside, as the garage is intended exclusively for our use as landlords. The second option would be to omit the basement staircase – which we would rather avoid.
We would appreciate external opinions to get a better understanding of the situation.
I look forward to hearing about your experiences.
Best regards

Due to the width of the plot, the exterior width is only 6 m (20 feet), so the interior width of 5.5 m (18 feet) is tight but still manageable. Have the children get out beforehand and park the car as close as possible to the wall. For a new build, I would try to avoid this, especially depending on what is stored in the garage.
However, there is always a car parked outside now because bicycles and other items are stored inside.

What is the purpose of the staircase?
I also built an external staircase. I use it exactly twice a year—to move winter tires up and down. However, this could also be done using the staircase inside the house.

But a car is always parked outside by now.That might work for you, but the builder's garage is shown to be only about 4m (13 feet) away from the street.What does the development plan say about how much space must be in front of the garage? Usually, it’s at least 5m (16 feet).
