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

Created on: 4 Nov 2018 10:54

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

Building right up to the boundary with the neighbor was completely ruled out? In my opinion, that should definitely be included.

Oh well, historic city centers didn’t have more floor space either... but they often had up to 4 stories. I wonder if that would be possible here?

And whether people would even want that?

Boundary construction next to the neighbor

According to Google Maps, their terrace/garden is located directly behind the hedge and building on the boundary would block any west-facing sunlight. If they agree to this, they will likely demand a high price, as it would significantly devalue their own property.

Basement for utility room, building services, some storage
Ground floor for kitchen, living, dining
First floor for bedroom, bathroom
Second floor for child’s room, guest room

Because of the huge tree, it might not even look like a residential tower.

The original poster mentioned wanting 2 floors plus a basement and underground garage. The problem is not just the tree (although without it, the project would be almost easy). The property boundary is also not at right angles. So, to make full use of the lot, you would probably need to build something truly spectacular, with hardly any right angles and a curved section around the tree. Mottenhausen already hinted at this. I’ll add some thoughts:

Architectural floor plan: large circular center, rectangular interior space, garage extension.

Floor plan of a building with underground garage, storage, guest room, utility/technical room, corridor and guest WC.

[italic]The underground garage is also quite questionable, especially since in this layout you’d have to rush past the entrance door, which is really risky. That’s why I would usually place the garage on the ground floor. But then the guest room loses its window. Well...[/italic]

Architectural plan with open kitchen, dining area, lounge and right-side garage.

[italic]I would swap the kitchen and living area here, but the OP wanted the kitchen on the north side.[/italic]

Floor plan of a house with purple external walls, children’s room bottom left, bathroom and corridor, staircase in the center.

Of course, this is just a concept, aside from the fact that it would be extremely expensive and we don’t really know what the OP’s actual needs are.
