Hello
We have purchased a newly built semi-detached house.
The terrace is 3m deep (10 feet) by 5m wide (16 feet).
The garden is 10m wide (33 feet) by 20m deep (66 feet).
We want to enlarge the terrace ourselves later but are not yet sure by how much. We wanted to ask what terrace size would be practical—spacious enough with sufficient room but not too large.
The garden faces southwest.
The developer is building a wall as a terrace partition, which will end exactly at the edge of the terrace.
Therefore, it would be best to decide now how deep the terrace should ultimately be.

We also have 4m (13 feet). I definitely wouldn’t go any lower than that. Otherwise, as mentioned, you won’t even be able to walk around the table when everyone is seated. Another thing to consider: if you’re thinking about roofing the terrace and the roof extends lower than 3m (10 feet), in many regions this requires a building permit / planning permission. Depending on how far along you are in the process, it might make sense to include this in the building permit / planning permission application right from the start.

Roof terrace or why is only so little allowed?
I would also recommend at least 4 meters (13 feet) to avoid it feeling too cramped. Our terrace is 5 x 12 meters (16 x 39 feet), and even then, sometimes with flower pots facing the garden, I think it could have been a bit larger.If the question was directed at me:
Semi-detached house in the city. You are only allowed to exceed a certain floor area ratio.

What a luxury. We are only allowed 4.20 m x 1.80 m (13 ft 9 in x 5 ft 11 in) 🙄 Mitleser123 schrieb:

Semi-detached house in the city. There is a limit on the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) or site coverage. There are also paving surfaces that are not counted. Or a driveway with gravel or crushed stone, which leaves more space for a terrace...
We have about 6.5m x 4m (21 ft x 13 ft) and don’t find it too big. There is space in front of the patio door to step out, or the children can put on or take off their shoes there, and there is enough room to walk past. The table with six chairs is then positioned slightly to the side of the patio door. The whole area is covered with a 6 x 4m (21 x 13 ft) roof.
And as @ypg already mentioned, there are also potted plants or the cushion storage box and a small fridge for the summer on the terrace.

Pwnage6195 May 2021 09:21Our house, a semi-detached property, is currently still under construction.
The developer is building a terrace measuring 3 by 5 meters (10 by 16 feet), which we plan to later extend with attractive paving slabs.
How long should we wait for the ground to properly settle to prevent the terrace from sinking or developing unsightly waves?
Is about one year enough?
