Hello everyone,

I more or less stumbled upon a plot of land after someone let their reservation expire.

The plot is about 606 square meters (6,521 square feet), according to my "measurement" approximately 18.10 meters by 33.50 meters (60 feet by 110 feet), not officially surveyed yet, and now I’m wondering exactly what I can do with it.

The development plan sets out the following for "my plot":
  • 0.35 floor area ratio
  • Single-story buildings only
  • Maximum building height 10 meters (33 feet)
  • Eave height max 4.50 meters (15 feet)
  • One driveway with max width of 4 meters (13 feet)
  • Two parking spaces are mandatory
  • Roof pitch between 15° and 51°
  • Roofs of garages etc. may differ in shape
  • Garages, carports, and ancillary buildings as defined by §14 (1) of the building use ordinance, which are buildings, must not exceed the street-side building boundaries of the access roads.
  • Dormers and roof recesses: the total length of dormers or roof recesses per roof side may not exceed 50% of the total length of that roof side.
  • Standard distance to property boundary is 3 meters (10 feet)
  • In the southern area, there is an 8-meter (26 feet) deep strip across the full width of the plot (approx. 18 meters (60 feet)) where trees and shrubs must be preserved. This area is quite densely vegetated and reaches heights up to 10 meters (33 feet) – I’ve tried to visualize this below
  • In the middle of this vegetation is a downward slope... the building boundary to this strip was reduced from the normal 3 meters to 2 meters (7 feet) so the plots aren’t too restricted.

Here I have placed an example house measuring 9.60 meters by 11.95 meters (31.5 feet by 39 feet), which I like based on my initial review (Viebrockhaus Edition 600).

Next to the house, in the 5.50-meter (18 feet) wide space there would be a carport – is that enough space for two parking spots? I would prefer not to make the house narrower just to accommodate vehicles... but then there’s hardly any room left for fencing?!

The terrace and garden at the back are, of course, limited by the tall trees – but that’s a compromise I’ll have to accept.

I’ve never built a house in my life before... so this is my first time dealing with this topic in detail. What would you do in this situation? Make the house a bit smaller?

If you need more information, just ask – as I said, I’m a beginner and eager to learn 🙂

My wishes are:

- Starting from 160 square meters (1,722 square feet) upwards
- I’m currently thinking about a basement and budget around $100k extra for it
- I don’t like long corridors

Once the plot situation is reasonably clear, I’d like to hear your advice on floor plans – that will surely be a more extensive topic.

Best regards

Oh right, your south is at the top 😉

Then please share the floor plans 🙂

Floor plans are currently still based on the standard Viebrockhaus Edition 600.

It’s just an example that I really like... but I don’t want to commit to anything before I’m sure about the possible house dimensions. The E600, for example, is 9.60 meters wide (31.5 feet). Considering the remaining 5.50 meters (18 feet), it might make more sense to go for a width closer to 9.00 meters (30 feet) — but as I said, I’m uncertain about that. So I thought I’d ask here what you would build on that space.

Links are not allowed here. And very few people want to open additional windows on their phone or iPad for you.
So please upload drawings if you want the majority of users to provide feedback. Links will be filtered out by tomorrow at the latest, and if you are lucky, you may still be allowed to remain in the forum because you have violated the terms and conditions.

Ouch, sorry – I didn’t mean to do that. I overlooked it. 🙄

It might be tight to keep it to a single story.
