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.

A true granny flat could be very positive in terms of grants or subsidies. The only thing missing is a separate entrance; otherwise, the apartment is fully functional. What exactly do you mean by "positive in terms of grants or subsidies"?
I just worry that having a second entrance will make all the other rooms much smaller...

And many thanks to hampshire for the praise on my amateur draft. Then dare to show the upper floor as well
(or rather, then dare to also show the upper floor)

I’m not sure if, for example, the hallway isn’t far too narrow or something like that. Measurements really help to assess things like that.

What does “subsidy-wise positive” mean? More subsidy incentives with a separate apartment. But from my point of view, being a landlord with a one-unit property is at best a non-starter.

What does "positive in terms of funding" mean?KFW 153 – Energy-efficient building – provides funding per residential unit. Be sure to check the requirements carefully to determine when a second residential unit is officially recognized as such.

Then go ahead and show the upper floor as well Unfortunately, I haven’t dared to show the upper floor yet. I’m not sure where the best places for the rooms would be. The children’s rooms will definitely be on the south side, but for everything else—I have no idea. I’ve read a bit about the drainage pipes, having the bathroom upstairs above the bathroom on the ground floor, and similar things, but I’m lost there...
I’m happy to receive your suggestions here.
