Okay... the plot isn’t actually that narrow – it measures 17.5 x 72 meters (57 x 236 feet). Since we prefer to keep the house single-story, the planned building stretches lengthwise. We have already presented our self-designed floor plan to two potential builders. Both considered our plan to be "ambitious." They also tried to steer us towards a two-story design to make it more affordable. Is a single-story house significantly more expensive than a two-story one? How would you estimate the cost of the house (location: rural, southeastern Saxony)? Are log beams (about 20cm (8 inches)) more expensive than masonry?

From the perspective of a "long house" design, I would ideally place the entrance on the wider side, as this allows zoning between private and public areas. Of course, this means a somewhat longer exterior path.The exterior path can be shortened by adding a small angle and positioning the door slightly set back on the front side (left or right, in this case left?). The entrance area would then be located, for example, toward the rear part of the first third of the house—this way, the living and sleeping areas can be separated, while the dining area remains central.
