Why Is the Design the Way It Is? For example:
The house is located directly on the street. Distance to the neighbors on both sides is 3 meters (10 feet), so no possibility to adjust the width.
The entrance is on the side. Since the house faces the street, the living room, dining area, and kitchen are planned on the north side, facing the garden. All other rooms face the street side. Knee wall is 1.80 m (6 feet), roof pitch 30 degrees. Bedrooms and bathroom also face the garden side.
The pantry is currently hidden but we are considering integrating it into the technical room. Underfloor heating with heat pump. Photovoltaic system is also installed (west side).

I’ve now used CorelDRAW to roughly measure the dimensions and placed an elongated house. I find the floor plan by @saralina87 quite suitable.
Light brown ... possible terrace
Dark brown lines – fence to ensure garden privacy
Overall, I think windows could be placed all around, which seems especially important since the south side won’t have large windows. In general, I would recommend a full-height upper floor rather than an attic with knee walls of 180 cm (71 inches).
A question I still have: Is the 30° roof pitch mandatory or just a preference?
EDIT: I just saw the post mentioning that the garage does not have to be built on the boundary but can be set back 5 m (16 feet). How about a carport? Does your car really need a garage? Would a carport with an attached bicycle or garden shed be an option ... on the green area?
[ATTACH alt="1677402539674.png"]78532[/ATTACH] Thanks a lot. Let’s take a look at this right away. A garage is not mandatory; a carport with a shed is also fine.

You can’t read the measurements... compare them with the dimensions I measured... do they roughly match?Yes, that’s about right. At the top, it’s approximately 18.3 meters (60 feet). From the bottom right to the bend, it’s about 10.5 meters (34.5 feet), and then from there to the boundary on the right, it’s another 25 meters (82 feet).K a t j a schrieb:

Underfloor heating with heat pump is currently plannedThinking back to the previous plan: if the garage is going to be on the right, where would the architect have placed the outdoor unit of the heat pump?Similar topics
