Hello everyone,

The first attempt has become quite chaotic by now, so I’m opening a new thread.
Here is the old one: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/nordterrasse-und-Küche-im-sueden.28750/

Challenge: The actual plot, which already isn’t very wide at 17 m (length about 50 m), will get an access path on the south side to the rear properties.

I have since abandoned the idea of placing the house crosswise. I had hoped for more west sunlight from that, but it comes at the expense of the already limited lateral space, even though it’s the northern side.

One crucial question is the location of the entrance: narrow side (east), via the access path (which would be legally possible / confirmable), or from the north?
Are there generally valid advantages or disadvantages to any of these entrance options, for example unavoidable (negative) impacts on the room layout?

The distance to the access path is flexible.

Here is a very rough outline of the plot (red), the path (blue), and the position of the house (yellow):

My currently favored solution: a narrow house (max about 9 m) positioned as far north as possible, right on the boundary, with the entrance on the north side so that there is space for a small terrace on the south side and thus access to south sunlight.
The west terrace is definite.

For example, something like this (dimensions: 8.10 m x 13.15 m). Discovered again at Viebrockhaus.
Sorry, NORTH is at the bottom here! Please mentally rotate the plan 180 degrees.

This would allow a south terrace with good privacy screening.

The only thing I would still consider is swapping the bedrooms for sleeping and children regarding orientation, but I don’t have a good idea yet.

Looking forward to your feedback.

I like your basic idea regarding the location and would also access the house from the north (entrance).
I remember a house design that is similar but narrower and with a rotated staircase. The utility room would be used instead of the office.
For Viebrockhaus, I would give the office 50cm (20 inches) more width.
What about considering rearranging the layout: placing the kitchen towards the back and the living room towards the front? In the evening, you are usually using the kitchen in connection with the terrace, aren’t you...?

It would still have been useful if you had filled out the questionnaire as well:
https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundrissplanung-unbedingt-vor-Beitrag-Erstellung-lesen.11714/

That way, floor plans can be searched for more specifically.

I think this floor plan calls for the garden to be located in front of the planned upper side. I would try to arrange the open-plan living area more in an L-shape along the west side, which also gives it a nice layout. Having the entrance on the north side makes sense, as it saves hallway space.

Purchases need to be transported in a circular route. Maybe there is still room for another door.

I actually quite like the floor plan for your plot. What I also can’t immediately see from the old thread is where the parking is supposed to be?
