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

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 will never understand why people spend so much money on their car's house. Especially in this case, where it is already clear that architectural and construction services will require significantly more money than average, and the budget is obviously so limited that this purchase was made at all...

Actually, I don’t really need it. My wife just doesn’t want to scrape ice off the car in the mornings during winter anymore.

A good example of why I’m here: We always wanted a garage. So it naturally became part of the planning. Various comments suggest that’s nonsense. Then you consider it and think: “They are right. I don’t really need a (basement) garage!”

Thanks...

...after subtracting a 3-meter (10 feet) clearance zone and 1.50 meters (5 feet) to the tree, you have 5.50 meters (18 feet) left for the house.

We are considering an inverted L-shaped building. A terrace could be built on top of the underground garage.

Could you sketch that out? I’m not sure what you mean.

The oak tree is located—by the way, not on the property—17 meters (56 feet) away when measured from the east.

Well, if it’s not on the property, where exactly is it? From which point does the 7-meter (23 feet) radius apply then?

My goodness, instead of replying to each post with quotes one by one, it would really make sense to get these sketches sorted out properly.

@ypg .. there won’t be 550 centimeters (180 inches / 18 feet) left if the tree is roughly on the boundary.

Tree relocated ... still on the property boundary since the exact location is not known. From there, a radius of 7 m (23 ft) and 8.5 m (28 ft). The house floor plan is still based on the previous oak tree position. It’s clear that the space will become even tighter because the house is already within the additional 1.5 m (5 ft) radius.

a little sketch from me:


Technical drawing: triangular floor plan with green circle, gray polygon, blue guide lines and measurements.


it would be good if you could do without the 1.5m (5 feet) clearance to the tree

this way, you would still have the 1.5m (5 feet) added to the 7m (23 feet) radius around the trunk:


Three floor plans of a house: basement, utility room, living/kitchen area, hallway, bedroom and bathroom.


I would still avoid building there. That costs a fortune!
