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).

Back to the previous plan. If the garage is to be placed on the right, where would the architect have located the outdoor unit of the heat pump?Unfortunately, he never mentioned that.kbt09 schrieb:
I have now roughly measured the dimensions using CorelDRAW and placed a rectangular house. I find the floor plan by @saralina87 quite fitting here.
Light brown ... possible terrace
Dark brown lines – fence to ensure garden privacy
Overall, there could be windows all around, which I find especially important since the south side lacks large windows. Generally, a full-height upper floor is recommended here rather than an attic with a knee wall of 180 cm (5 ft 11 in).
A question I still have: Is the 30° roof pitch fixed or preferred?
EDIT: I just saw the post that the garage does not have to be right on the boundary but can be set back 5 m (16 ft). What about a carport, and does your car really need a garage? Would a carport with an adjacent bike/garden shed be possible on the green area?
[ATTACH alt="1677402539674.png"]78532[/ATTACH] Is there somewhere I can find the floor plan from saralina87?

I linked it in the post 😉 under the words "the floor plan" 😉a nice floor plan! What I’m wondering is, the entrance to the house is through the garage?
Would it be possible to do the same in our house? So, two parking spaces side by side on the left? But then I guess I would lose the windows on the left side again, right?
Our house is mostly north-facing, so having many windows was quite important to us. And of course, I would like to have a window in the kitchen as well. But at the moment, I don’t see how that could be achieved—even if the house was a bit longer.
Uh ... have you taken a look at my lot layout? You can have windows all around, the entrance on the left, and a carport with a shed on the left side (the carport should be accessible from the street side... needs to be confirmed!), plus a passage to the garden from the right side:
4 m (13 ft) setback due to the corner, allowing a second parking space without tandem parking.
7.5 m (25 ft) house
1.8 m (6 ft) walkway that widens towards the back... the house is aligned with the right property line, and the carport with the left property line.
3.5 m (11.5 ft) carport/shed
