Hi everyone,
First of all, hello to all, as I am new here.
I come from the Black Forest and am planning to build soon. I have already applied for the plot of land. As is common here, it is a sloped plot with about 3 meters (10 feet) of elevation difference.
Assuming I get my desired plot, I am currently planning roughly how the house should look.
There isn’t much flexibility because it needs to have a pitched roof oriented toward the slope/street, but fortunately, I can build two full stories or have a very high knee wall.
What’s giving me a headache is the orientation of the house. See the file Bebauungsplan_forum.pdf.
Where should the main entrance be? On the ridge side facing south or at the back of the house facing northeast, which would result in long walks.
And the garage? Usually, the north side is recommended, but to the west and northwest I have an unobstructed view, so should it face south instead?
So far, this is the plan: see the file GS_Haus1.pdf.
There is already a rough floor plan, but first I need to decide on the position of the main entrance and the garage.
I look forward to tips from people who simply have more experience with this!
Thanks!
Best regards,
Blackforest

What’s a bit concerning: According to the regional statistical office, our small town’s population (demographics) is generally declining. Well, it’s not Stuttgart or Konstanz, but in those places the land wouldn’t be affordable anyway.
