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

How about a recessed top floor instead of a basement? Living room and study at the very topA basement is essential for us. As I said, I would rather give up the garage.

Honestly: Inside, it creates a nicer room. Also, the energy coming in through one window immediately escapes through the opposite window.We thought this would make the relatively small room (living room) appear larger...
Hello Oakland
I really hope you get a nice house. What you are planning is a compromise. It can’t be anything more than that. And this compromise will be expensive. Building a house is costly and it usually gets more expensive than planned.
Just something to think about: First, get a detailed cost breakdown. Then calculate whether the loss from selling this unusual plot and buying a more sensible one might be less than the extra costs of building this house compared to a "normal" one. I fear that realizing this project will bring many headaches.
Perhaps a nighttime operation with a chainsaw and the resulting fine would even be the cheaper option.
