Development Plan / Restrictions:
· Plot size: 1,200 m² (18 m (59 inches) wide)
· Slope: south-facing hill, street to the north
· Site coverage ratio: 0.3
· Floor area ratio: 0.6
· Building envelope, building line, and boundary: see "enlarged building envelope" 12 x 14 m (39 x 46 feet)
· Edge development: garages
· Number of parking spaces: 3 required according to building authority
· Construction type: open building layout
· Building setback: 3 m (10 feet)
· Roof type: pitched roofs 15-30°, hipped roofs to be avoided, see regulations
· Orientation: ridge direction of the buildings parallel to each other
· Exterior design: see section 6 of the regulations
Homeowners’ Requirements
Preliminary: The homeowners (born 1982 male, 1988 female, and two children born 2014 female, 2016 male) want to live on two floors (basement and ground floor). A third children’s bedroom should also be included. The third floor (attic) should be accessible barrier-free.
· Style: Bauhaus (optionally exposed concrete)
· Roof design: large south-facing side (for solar panels, photovoltaics)
· Building type: two-family house
· Basement and floors: basement, ground floor, attic
· Number of occupants and ages as above: (2 + 3 in basement and ground floor, 2 + 1 in attic)
o Space requirements attic: 2 bedrooms, 1 flexible floor plan bathroom, open living/dining/kitchen area, utility room
o Space requirements ground floor: 1 master bedroom, walk-in closet, master bathroom, large open living/dining/kitchen area, wardrobe, storage room
o Space requirements basement: 3 children’s bedrooms, children’s bathroom, optional play corridor, boiler room, cellar, utility room
· Open or closed architecture: open
· Conservative or modern construction: modern
· Kitchen: open kitchen with island (at least on ground floor)
· Balcony, roof terrace: likely sensible on all three floors considering exposed concrete
· Parking spaces: carports if possible, which can later be converted into garages (initial cost saving)
· Heating/thermal technology: air-to-water heat pump (underfloor heating), optional photovoltaics
· Windows: large window areas on the south side, optionally wide, low windows above the kitchen worktop on the ground floor
· Energy efficiency: KfW 55 standard
· High sound insulation (especially for the ceiling of the attic, separate residential unit)

Thank goodness neither you nor anyone in your family fell ill!
By the way, is that an olive tree in the front yard? How do you get it through the winter? Do you cover it or enclose it?
That’s a huge one! I’ve been taking care of mine for almost 15 years, but compared to that specimen, it’s tiny!

That’s a huge tree! I’ve been caring for mine for almost 15 years, but it’s a runt compared to this one!Thanks for your sympathy. Yes, it is an olive tree (supposedly frost-resistant down to -15°C (5°F)). I bought it in March or April through Planet Plazza. It was a little wish of mine. Recently, they had one at a Toom store at an insane price; I wanted to grab it again, but first I’m seeing how I manage to get it through the winter. We’re located about 450 m (1,480 ft) above sea level, so temperatures can get a bit colder. I guess it will get critical at around -5°C (23°F) of sustained frost (about one week). Above all, I want to protect the tree from wind. Most likely I’ll use a “sack.” For now, I’m not planning to install heating cables in the soil.

Then you were not in Timmendorf/Niendorf/ScharbeutzIn Großenbrode at the natural/north beach. The south beach, on the other hand, was cleared by the police at least once during our stay.
In a neighboring village, someone has also permanently planted an olive tree outdoors. They always shelter it over the winter, having built a kind of temporary greenhouse from wood and plastic sheeting or plexiglass that is assembled around the tree in autumn and taken down again in spring.
The olive tree has survived for several years now, and it is also larger. However, here we do experience colder periods for longer times.
Well, let’s give climate change a few more years, then no protection will be needed anymore.

Eckernförde is completely different in that respect.

sichtbeton8219 Aug 2020 10:28Here is another picture of the olive tree. Since it is enclosed in a rectangular frame, I have already considered "closing it up" when it gets too frosty. Fairly simple: attach four wooden beams at the corners and seal the sides and roof with bubble wrap. My initial idea of using polycarbonate twin-wall sheets has been set aside for now due to the higher cost.
