Hello everyone!
We have purchased a triangular plot of land. As if that weren’t complicated enough, there is also a large oak tree that must be considered during the planning. In our initial considerations, it quickly became clear that the floor plan will have an L-shape.
Does anyone here have experience with this type of plot and a correspondingly shaped floor plan? What additional information is needed to get meaningful advice?
Best regards

I would also consider reversing the purchase, as building on the site under the current conditions is simply not feasible. The compromises required for the house would be so significant that they will bother you permanently. An L-shaped narrow house with a staircase in the corner and corridor-like rooms extending from there in each direction of the L will be neither attractive nor practical.

Since the plot is not at all a prime piece of land—in the best case more like the tail fin or head of a fish—you can either manage to make a filling soup out of it with limited resources or create a gourmet meal with experience and high-quality ingredients. The willingness to compromise here is even more directly proportional to the size of the budget.

I know and I’m aware Good. Then I assume you have already studied the plot very thoroughly. Your scarce and sparse information doesn’t make it clear which details about the building plot the seller has provided, which you already have, or which are still missing. If the seller has remained largely silent, you will probably have to enquire with the relevant authorities yourself. If the seller has fully informed you, then you surely already have an idea of how the building should look and how it should be positioned on the plot. You could then include this in your plan so that the creative floor plan designers here have a chance.

Honestly, why would someone buy something like this? I’m writing this for the third time: given the conditions, the plot is not buildable, not even with boundary construction along the street. I added two red arrows to show how serious the situation really is. I thought it was bad, but the reality is even worse.
Or is it a misunderstanding, and the 1.5 m (5 feet) distance only needs to be maintained from the trunk?
