ᐅ Large window facade on the west side

Hello everyone,
our municipality will soon be selling building plots in a new development area. We are currently trying to select the "best" plots... I know, that sounds very optimistic... but in the application we have to name 5 building plots that would be suitable for us.
Of course, the plots at the edges with an unobstructed view of fields and vineyards are the most sought after. Below I have attached a screenshot showing the 2 (in my opinion) best plots (the plan is oriented north). We would like to take advantage of the beautiful view and install a large window front (a kind of glass façade) on the west side. On the south side, we want a lift-and-slide door (about 400cm x 250cm (13 feet x 8 feet 2 inches)) – marked in red on the picture. The distance to the property boundary would be only about 5.5m (18 feet).
The house should be an Energy Efficiency House 40 (Effizienzhaus 40). My husband is a bit skeptical about the glazing on the west side. He thinks the window front should be on the south side – but there we would not have a free view...
There are also 3 plots with neighbors on the south side. The problem there is that the house would be positioned a bit lower and the free view would be about 1.5 to 2m (5 to 6.5 feet) above the single-family house. So, you would have to look upwards or plan the living room on the first floor.
What do you think? Would having the glazing on the west side be a deal breaker for an Energy Efficiency House 40? Textile sunshades are planned.
We intend to consult an energy advisor only after we have a confirmed allocation for a specific plot.
It is important for me to start thinking early about a potential building plot – with all the pros and cons...

hm... that would be less than ideal 😉
No one can predict or guarantee that. The fact is, the adjacent field is about 50-75m (55-82 yards) long, then there are apple orchards, and only after that come the vineyards. I think they will probably leave the apple trees alone. The field? ...
However, the roads are planned so that there are no “open cul-de-sacs.”
The municipality’s master plan already includes 5(!!!) additional new development areas with a total of more than 120 building plots. That should be enough for several years – at least, I hope so.
By the way, the municipality has fewer than 13,000 residents.

I live in the region, and building plots are quite scarce here. You’re lucky to be from the municipality 🙂

It’s the same here.

While amateurs usually design stairs that are about twenty percent too short, yours is actually half as short.

Why are you always so sharp-tongued? I roughly planned 2.5m by 2.5m (8 feet by 8 feet) for the staircase. How long is a landing staircase really? I think about a maximum of 3m (10 feet). That would be roughly the "amateur tolerance." With your "half as short," the landing staircase would have to be 5m (16 feet) long. Is that really the case? 🙄
I deliberately marked the exterior walls as 50cm (20 inches) thick so I can roughly estimate how much space remains inside...

You get used to it. 😉 It took me a while too.

Just don’t read it 😉
The staircase doesn’t matter at the moment, so it’s not worth commenting on!

Neither.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that positively earlier.
