Hello.
We are currently in the process of selecting a plot of land. Originally, we planned to build a two-story house, but as it stands now, it looks like all the plots where this is allowed will be gone. Most likely, we will only be permitted to build a single-story house. Since we are not fond of sloped ceilings, we are now leaning toward a bungalow. The floor area ratio is 0.35, and the plots are between 600 and 700 square meters (about 6458 to 7535 square feet). Would a bungalow with around 140 square meters (about 1507 square feet) plus a terrace and a double garage be feasible? Does the courtyard area count toward the allowed building area? Or would you advise against a bungalow because it is usually much more expensive than a two-story house?

But only with regard to the two following conditions:

Unless the development plan specifies otherwise, exceptions to the limits resulting from sentence 2 may be made on a case-by-case basis

1. for exceedances that have minor impacts on the natural functions of the soil, or
2. if complying with the limits would cause significant difficulties for the appropriate use of the property.
