Hello everyone!
We are about to start building our semi-detached house, and I measured the site plan to see how much garden space we have.
I found that we have roughly 10x10m (33x33 ft) of lawn behind the house plus about 15sqm (160 sq ft) beside the house up to the garage. I honestly can’t quite imagine how big 100sqm (1,076 sq ft) of garden actually is.
Does anyone have a similar area behind their house and can share whether it’s still possible to fit a playset for children? Or maybe even have a photo of a garden this size?
(Visually, it won’t be a problem since there is a field behind the garden with a beautiful view of Sauerland, where building is definitely not allowed for the next few decades. Also, we have about 80sqm (860 sq ft) of front yard, where I’ll probably grow some edible plants.)
I would really appreciate some input to help me imagine it better.
Best regards, FamPre

The question makes me smile because 1 kilogram of feathers weighs exactly the same as 1 kilogram of lead, and the same applies to 100 square meters (1,076 square feet).
The restriction on the portion of the plot that can be built on already ensures that the garden remains sufficiently large. Even if you maximize the building area, there is still plenty of space left around it. No sand gets spilled onto the coffee table during playtime. On 100 square meters (1,076 square feet), a greyhound doesn’t even need to run, but it’s more than enough space for a person. Imagine riding a toddler car through an apartment without any interior walls.

Vegetable bed, if I remember correctly, 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) wide (easy to access from both sides) and about 4 to 5 m (13 to 16 ft) long ==> rounded up to 15 m² (161 ft²).
In other words: a lot can fit on 100 m² (1,076 ft²)!

Take a look. Remove the L-shaped edge and you’re at roughly 100 sqm (1,076 sq ft).
Thanks, that really helps to visualize! We will still go to the plot tomorrow and check the "live measurement".
