Hello everyone,
I’m a bit unsure and puzzled about how to design the garage.
I’m interested in whether my idea is even feasible.
a) legally
b) purely from an aesthetic point of view
Info: there are neighboring properties to the west and north.
What do you think?
Any suggestions?
PS: unfortunately, I don’t have access to a 3D program to illustrate the whole thing.

Based on the information you provided, you are free to choose the roof style for your garage; of course, any roof overhangs must be included in the calculation.
In the end, your budget will decide, since a garage with a saddle roof, hip roof, or probably a half-hip roof is more expensive to build than a garage with a flat roof.
What does your planner say about the property requirements, zoning plan, or textual regulations?

According to what you posted, you are free to choose the roof design for your garage; of course, any roof overhangs must be included in the calculation.Do roof overhangs generally count towards the floor area or the individual dimensions?
For example: Garage length x width 7 x 8 m (23 x 26 ft) = OK, overhang 0.5 x 1.0 m (20 x 39 inches) = total garage size 7.5 x 9.0 m (25 x 30 ft) => not allowed to build.

You can assume that "building beyond the property boundary is generally not permitted because it affects neighboring properties." This means if you decide to have a roof overhang on the garage, the length of the overhang must remain within the boundary line. There are very few exceptions, which are described in the written regulations of the zoning plan (for example, in the direction of the sidewalk).
No, not really. When looking at cost increases, the shed roof (FD) is the most cost-effective, followed by the gable roof (SD) and the hip roof (WD), with the half-hip roof being the most expensive.
Usually, homebuilders choose an architect or a trusted supplier who explains the specific building regulations as well as the financial aspects.

Example: Garage LxW 7x8 m (23x26 ft) = OK, overhang 0.5x1.0 m (1.5x3 ft) = garage "total" 7.5x9.0 m (25x30 ft) => construction not allowed

You can assume that “building beyond your own property boundary is generally not allowed because it would affect the neighboring properties.” This means that if you decide on an eave overhang on the garage, you must keep the length of the overhang away from the boundary. There are very few exceptions, which are described in the written regulations of the zoning plan (for example, towards the sidewalk).…I never said I wanted to build onto the neighbor’s property.. 😉
The question was only whether the roof overhang counts towards the garage footprint?

Thanks already for your effort so far
Of course, you must not build roof surfaces extending over the neighbor’s property. The issue of boundary building applies to all plots.
However, you should plan the house according to the plot, not the other way around—unless you have an abundance of building land?
Quick reply on the go 🙂
