Hello everyone,
I have been a silent reader for some time now, but we have reached a point where I need your help.
The plot of land is already purchased. I have been working on creating a floor plan on my own for a while. Our architect has postponed the project for now due to lack of availability. However, since we don’t want to wait any longer, we are looking for a building partner.

We want to build a modern urban villa using solid construction, with a separate area for the grandparents (not a typical granny flat, but an internally separated living room, bedroom, and bathroom with only one entrance and a hallway on the ground floor).
Additionally, I would like to have a trench collector installed, connected to a heat pump. To support our own power supply, a photovoltaic system on the roof would be possible. Controlled mechanical ventilation would be the icing on the cake.

The plot size is 604m2 (6500ft2). It is located in a second row. The driveway is also part of our property. The previous owner subdivided their garden and then sold it to us.

I am attaching the current development plan (it is from before the subdivision). The hall shown on our plot no longer exists. I took the photo with south at the bottom and east on the right.

Perhaps someone has an idea of how the house could be positioned there. The possible building envelope would be 11x11m (36x36ft) or 11x12m (36x39ft). There should also be enough space for a double garage or a garage about 9 meters (30ft) long.

Maybe someone here knows a good architect, construction manager, or general contractor from the region (I’m not sure which option would be better here?). The building site is in Wuppertal.

If any further information is needed, I am happy to provide it. I appreciate any advice.

Ok, thanks for the constructive suggestions. I have taken many notes. Now I still have the question whether any of you know a good architect or general contractor in this area who could handle this "problem project" ( ) well?
Who can I ask?

Yes, I also assume the "benefit of the doubt" that this is a misunderstanding due to drawing inaccuracy.

Here is the photo clearly showing that the staircase does not have free space along its entire length. I wanted to indicate this with the railing on the upper floor in my original design.[/QUOTE]

The clear ceiling height there is at least about 270 to 280 cm (107 to 110 inches), and the staircase length is around 450 to 500 cm (177 to 197 inches). Now try to apply that to your ideas... it simply won't work.

Funny enough. The original poster keeps talking about "cutting back" and "small is fine," "4sqm (43 sqft) offices," etc., but then plans a luxury staircase that is fit for a castle in terms of size and cost.

Here is the photo clearly showing that the staircase does not have open space along its entire length. I intended to indicate this with the railing on the upper floor in my original design.

The staircase in the left image actually starts about three steps before its ceiling opening. The staircase in the right image is, among other things, not the same. It is unclear to me where exactly in the middle of the staircase one is supposed to branch off into the shown room.

With a ceiling height of 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in), you can only cover the first two steps with the floor slab above; if you want to cover more, the ceilings will of course need to be much higher.

Best regards
