Hello dear house building forum,
I registered today because I applied for a building plot in my community and I am hopeful to get it.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size = 700 sqm (8,900 sq ft)
Slope = No
Floor area ratio = 0.4
Floor space index = 1 story (bungalow - no basement)
Building window, building line and boundary = Building boundary according to § 23 Land Use Ordinance (garage on boundary, house set back 3 m (10 ft))
Edge development = No
Number of parking spaces = 2
Number of stories = 1 story (bungalow)
Roof type
Style = Gable roof
Orientation = South
Maximum height / limits = 6.5 m (21 ft)
Additional requirements
Homeowners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type = open, gable roof or hip roof, bungalow
Basement, stories = No
Number of people, age = 2 people, 40 and 38 years old
Room requirements on ground floor, upper floor = Entrance hall, WC, utility room, pantry; bathroom, office; kitchen; dining-living room and 1 bedroom
Office: family use or home office? = family use
Guests per year = none (maximum 1)
Open or closed architecture = open
Conservative or modern design = rather modern
Open kitchen, kitchen island = open kitchen
Number of dining seats = 4
Fireplace = No
Music / stereo wall = wall for large TV
Balcony, roof terrace = No
Garage, carport = garage for 1 car
Vegetable garden, greenhouse = garden
Additional wishes / special features / daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be = open design because I might use several air-to-air heat pumps instead of one air-to-water heat pump (still at the beginning of heating planning)
[U]House Design
Who created the plan:
- Builder’s planner = currently me
- Architect = currently none
- Do-it-yourself = Yes, everything possible and permitted
What do you particularly like? Why? = currently unsure
What don’t you like? Why? = currently unsure
Price estimate from architect/planner: no price available
Personal price limit for the house including equipment: €220,000
Preferred heating technology: air-to-air heat pumps (split air conditioning units)
If you have to give up, which details / extensions
- can you give up: pantry
- can’t you give up: office
Why was the design created as it is now? For example
Standard design from the planner? No
Which wishes were implemented by the architect? all wishes implemented, no architect
A mix of many examples from various magazines? No
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion? The design is just an idea, I am looking forward to criticism and suggestions
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
I want to minimize square meters wasted on hallways and use the bungalow’s space effectively.

Robert Bau20249 Jul 2023 11:05Hello Hanghaus,
Yes, it should look like in your PNG image. The 827 m² (8,900 sq ft) will actually be smaller – everything is still being measured and not finished yet. According to the local authority, it will be around 700 m² (7,535 sq ft) because the plan is still changing a bit.
The garage can be built on the boundary. I’m not sure when a slope is officially considered a hillside, but the plot does have a slight incline. I would say from the street (highest point) down to the hedge (lowest point) the drop is maybe 1 m (3 ft), max 1.5 m (5 ft) over the entire length.
@ypg but you can read a lot into the phrase "I can help myself".... I’m a bit more experienced than just "going to Bauhaus."

hanghaus20239 Jul 2023 11:40Then the contour lines are probably spaced 1 meter (3.3 feet) apart.
I looked online for a nice floor plan.
What is located to the east?

Robert Bau20249 Jul 2023 11:55Yes, the contour lines are always 1 meter (3 feet) apart. On the east side, there is a 3-meter (10-foot) thick hedge. Beyond the hedge, there is a 20-meter (65-foot) rock slab, and then the terrain drops off steeply about 20 meters (65 feet). Below is the old village center with the church, village square, and so on.
I live just a stone’s throw away from the construction area and want to build cost-effectively. However, I am not sure if a house made of brick, beams, and, for example, thick sandwich panels on top can meet the KfW 55 standard. I want to keep the technology simple and affordable — air-to-air heat pumps and tankless water heaters — no smart home stuff, I don’t need any of that. I don’t mind working a few hours after work or on Saturdays. I have always been a village person, and that’s just part of it.

hanghaus20239 Jul 2023 12:17More like on a slight slope.
Plot #3 is not very suitable for a bungalow due to an approximate 12% gradient.
Where in Bavaria is this?

I'll send it to you via private message, I don't want to share too much information in the forum.
Yes, I can easily imagine it the way you’ve planned. The plot definitely loses a few meters along the long side. But everything still needs to be surveyed and divided.
edit: Can’t send private messages yet --> not enough posts
