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.

Yes, an east-facing entrance would also be possible, but I haven’t found any floor plans that fit well, as so much space is lost.ypg schrieb:
I like your basic idea regarding the location and would also have the house accessed from the north (entrance).
I remember a house design that is similar but narrower, with a rotated staircase. The utility room would replace the office.
For Viebrockhaus, I would give the office an extra 50cm (20 inches) in width.
What about this: could you consider placing the kitchen towards the back and the living room at the front instead? In the evening, you’d probably spend more time in the kitchen connected to the terrace...?Hi,
Giving more width to the office is an option; I’ll discuss that.
Swapping the kitchen and living room hadn’t occurred to me… what do you mean by “connected”?
Since it’s not an open-plan kitchen, I’d expect to spend evenings in the living room rather than the kitchen.
