Hello,
I plan to build a city villa with two residential units with Dennert.
The location is Neustadt, Marburg-Biedenkopf district, parcel 20, plot 16/2.
You can view it in the Hessen geodata system. The property would be split almost equally in half. It is not yet decided which half we will use ourselves; the younger sister will take the other half.
I’m unsure how to position the house so that, for example, a balcony above the garage could be used, possibly facing south-southwest.
Could you possibly help me with this?
The property is listed on Immobilienscout24 with Scout-ID: 70642775 (just enter the Scout ID on Google).
I know that without a building permit/planning permission it may not help much, but the property has not been purchased yet. See my related question in Land for Building, Contracts, Building Law Tips.
The neighboring development is set back 3 meters (10 feet) from the property, but there is an old house directly on the property boundary. Therefore, I would suggest planning the building plot at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from the property line.
Building Permit/Restrictions
Property size: divided into 1962 by 900 (units not specified)
Slope: none
Site coverage ratio
Floor space index
Building envelope, building line and boundary: possibly 3 meters (10 feet) from the road
Edge construction: garage yes
Orientation: this is the question, what is best?
Maximum heights/limits: neighboring houses have eaves heights over 7 meters (23 feet)
No building permit/planning permission available yet
Client Requirements
City villa
No basement
Parents, 60 and 63 years old, on the ground floor; sister, 37, with child 7 and second child 17 (who does not live there regularly) on the upper floor
Approximately 90 square meters (970 square feet) per residential unit
Ground floor definitely with a guest room
Very open architecture
Modern construction
Open kitchen, kitchen island: both yes
Number of dining seats: 8 on ground floor, 6 on upper floor
Balcony, roof terrace: possibly a balcony above the double garage
Garage, carport: double garage with door to the utility room
House Design
Planning by:
- Do-it-Yourself
Personal budget for house including fittings: 400,000
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump, eligible for BAFA funding, with ventilation system and photovoltaic system with storage
If you had to give up something, which details/upgrades
- you could give up: KfW40+ standard if it doesn’t make sense, balcony above garage, garage itself if necessary, possibly sourcing sanitary fixtures independently
- you could not give up:
Why was the design chosen as it is? For example, what makes it particularly good or bad in your eyes? Discussed with parents and sister about their wishes.
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Whether it is feasible and whether the location on the property is okay. Also, suggestions for improvements and possibly help to properly save the floor plan in a file format, not Paint (sorry, I’m not good at this).
It would be great if someone here could help me!

So, it should be beyond the hundred-year mark. Well, you have to admit, you are quite brave.

Nice-Nofret15 Oct 2020 09:56... in this case, it only makes sense to build with a raised ground floor, without a basement, or with basement windows set high above ground level; all enclosed in a waterproof concrete shell ("white tank"). My dream looks different, but okay; to each their own.
I don’t think it’s wise to build in risk areas (flood zones, unstable slopes, etc.). Weather events are becoming more extreme and, as a consequence, more frequent.

And you’re asking about a basement—I would never do that on this property. Find out which building materials can withstand one meter (3 feet) of standing water, so you don’t end up with a total loss of the house. Even a converted stream will overflow if ten times the usual amount of water comes, and that becomes the new high-water mark until the next one.

@11ant Where did you find out that they live directly opposite? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anything!Well, it’s quite obvious when you look on Google. It appears that the neighbors built their house at the highest point, which is in the north – the investment plot in the south is now being sold because it’s too risky for effective development.Overall, I would advise against buying this property: industrial neighbors, roads to the south and west, located in a low-lying area, flood risk...
A basement is not an option; that would be highly irresponsible. Raising the ground level would mean huge costs for earthworks. Would it even require pile foundations?
