Hello dear forum,
We have a very challenging plot because the access road must be routed through a 20-meter (65.6 feet) wide forest protection strip in the north, and it is only allowed to be 3 meters (9.8 feet) wide. Nothing else is permitted. This means we either have to plan a turning area within the building zone or reverse out for 20 meters (65.6 feet). Two parking spaces are also required. We received two options, one of which places the double carport in front of the house (keeping the west side free) and the other next to the house on the west side.
The first option has the advantage that all living rooms and children's rooms face southwest or west, but the neighbor is already building just 5 meters (16.4 feet) away, with a 20-meter (65.6 feet) tall forest behind that. Also, the south garden is smaller.
The second option with the carport next to the house has the “disadvantage” that the living room would have to face southeast, and the children's rooms would also be on the east side (floor-to-ceiling windows). The reason is simply that no floor-to-ceiling windows are possible on the carport side, so the floor plan would have to be mirrored. The advantage of this option is the large south garden. However, evening shading of the terrace by the carport located to the west must be accepted.
I have attached both options and look forward to your feedback. North is at the top, south at the bottom.
Best regards,
Sven

Floor plans can be mirrored – but the fact remains that the sun rises in the east 🙂
If you need a different reference for the overview than for the details, then using the aerial photo is definitely the best option.
It still needs to be justified, though, and the proportions on the site plan look (arbitrarily) different. Especially with such inconvenient restrictions, I would want to know very precisely on what basis they are imposed and how reliable that basis is.It is the same reference. If you mean the building shown, that is the original structure, which has now been demolished. Both plans are current.T

Be clear about the use of the attached carport... Bicycles are intended to be stored there. It is drawn with a width of 6 m (20 feet). As it is currently designed, it won’t work for bicycles.Thank you. That’s a valid point. But how to solve it? Where else could the bike shed be placed?

Both plans are up to date. a) they are obviously different bases from which the excerpts were taken; b) that was already clear to me; c) they can hardly both be current and represent different facts.

We don’t know the location or your situation. That’s always the challenge with planning questions when the person asking only shares what they think is relevant. House and site planning is a complex matter overall and involves many factors that need to be considered during the design process.
For example, corner windows – have you thought this through carefully? How is the shading there?
Kitchen – the distance between the sink island and the cooking area seems a bit large to me.
Floor-to-ceiling window behind the couch – is that practical?
Floor-to-ceiling windows in general – I believe I read that the children’s bedrooms in the upper floor will also have these.
