Hello,

I have been a silent reader so far, but our project is becoming more concrete, and at the moment I am struggling a bit with the orientation of the house on the corner plot.

In brief, here are some details:

Plot size: 557m² (about 5990 sq ft)
Planned living area: approx. 128m² (about 1378 sq ft)
House dimensions: 10.99m x 8.49m (36 ft x 28 ft)
A double carport is also planned

The building setback line according to the development plan is 3m (10 ft)

Attached are the site plan and a satellite image – what are your ideas for placing the house along with the double carport?

Is it then the option from post 6? Or yours with the house parallel to the street?

The option from post number 6 is, according to the builder, also the best choice regarding the supply lines.

The location will have the front door facing east.
Apart from the fact that this is probably one of the best orientations for a house… Am I correct in understanding that this is the builder’s decision?

No, no, I planned it that way from the beginning, but at some point we became uncertain, which is why this post was created.
