Dear community,
I would appreciate your ideas and assessments on a rather special building project:
We have a narrow (10 meters wide (33 feet)), but quite long (60 meters (197 feet)) garden plot that we could build on (positive preliminary building approval).
Due to the conditions, we are uncertain whether building here is really feasible, if we would have to make too many compromises or restrictions, or if the costs would simply get out of hand.
It is a sloped plot facing southwest. There is no development plan, and many single-family homes are located nearby. Setback distances must be observed, and the neighbors are not willing to waive any rights.
So, if I understand the setback regulations correctly here in Bavaria, one could only build 4 meters (13 feet) wide, but with several floors over a length of 16 meters (52 feet).
Because of the slope, there should be some creative possibilities, for example with staggered building volumes, roof terraces, and so on?!
Or is it only suitable for a tiny house for garden enthusiasts?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

You clearly haven't looked into the demand for plots yet, and this one would even be free of any association fees.In our area, a plot costs about 100€ per year.In my opinion, the size of the property is being evaluated here far too critically and without perspective. Such statements are quite exaggerated:
Come on, any design for a narrow terraced house / row house with the bonus of windows on three sides achieves this. As if that’s not everyday work for architects.
And, as everyone knows, that depends mainly on the location. By that logic, no terraced house would retain its value.
Besides, in prime areas like Munich and its surrounding district, exterior widths of 4–4.5m (13–15 feet) are already common.
If you can live with the compromises of the almost fixed room layout, why not?
This is something for individualists and a project that wouldn’t even be created by a typical architect.

Resale value is probably questionable as well.

Please, any design for a narrow mid-terrace house / row house with the added benefit of windows on three sides would do. As if that isn’t everyday work for architects. Did you read the 4m (13 feet) exterior width? This is definitely not routine work for an architect.
