ᐅ Floor Plan of a Narrow, Rectangular L-Shaped House on a Triangular Plot with an Oak Tree

@Escroda ... but you consider the ideas of an underground garage and a basement apartment to be either unfeasible or feasible but rather unusual, right?

I have now shifted the tree circle slightly more to the east, but only by 7 m (23 feet) plus 1.5 m (5 feet). The space will actually become even tighter there.

It would be helpful to know how far this oak tree is from the east side and whether it really stands exactly on the property boundary.

So you know the notary contract, you know what the OP paid, and what the seller has told or not told?

Believing doesn’t mean knowing.

Oh, so I still have to place a bid?

That’s slim. Well, for honor’s sake. Okay!

Escroda schrieb:
Good grief, Katja! Google Maps! And where did you get the property boundaries from?

Just have a look! You can see them.

Your support is appreciated, but now think about what the OP’s wishes were and what is actually left of them here. Living in a tube. Do you really want to advise them to do that? You have to consider that most people spend their entire lives paying off their property. And the OP should do that for whatever might come out of this? I would rather advise them to build a public restroom there and charge one euro per person.

I found a report last night about the building area next door. Of the 116 trees that fall under the building regulations, only 3 are supposed to remain. Compensatory measures include planting new trees and financial compensation. Surely a solution can be found there as well.

The only viable option for a sensible building, I think. But will it work?

The floor plan of Kbt wasn’t as narrow as I had imagined. I thought it would be worse.
Many people live on 3 levels. I don’t find that a problem.

From every room, there is a view of the tree.
Below, there is a terrace with natural sun protection and a pleasant climate thanks to the tree.

That’s exactly the point. And for that, the original poster deserves criticism for not providing clarity here and also not sharing their ideas regarding the building structure and its position on the plot. But the way this criticism is expressed here is really low:

That was a good one!

Hard to say. I’m not much of a design expert. "Underground garage" — the plot slopes one meter (3 feet) down to the north. So instead of digging 2.50 m (8 feet) down, you’d only have to go 1.50 m (5 feet) down. You would have a half-basement facing the street. Whether the lighting requirements can be met there is questionable, but not impossible.

Most of the quotes are completely taken out of context. I don’t consider it “low-level” to tell the truth in order to prevent someone from making a big mistake.
Anyway. If there is a plan, I will definitely support the original poster (OP), if they want. So far, however, I still advise against forcing it through.
