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 believe that is the biggest issue. A 7m (23 feet) oak tree definitely falls under the tree protection ordinance of the municipality, and generally the entire canopy drip line area is off-limits for construction or sealing. So first, you should clarify with the municipality which area is actually available for development, and only then can you focus on the details.Yes, the tree is off-limits. We need to keep a distance of 1.50 meters (5 feet).

I would have planned a rectangle, as far east as possible. With an L-shape, you lose the southern sun.Worth considering. But will that fit within our desired plot size?

Difficult: small plot, large house, triangular shape, and a huge treeIndeed, a real challenge. Plots are scarce and very expensive here. That’s why we consciously accepted these constraints.
