Dear community,
I am currently in discussions with general contractors and starting the building planning process. One of the most important aspects for us is the orientation of the house.
Our preference is to orient the house towards the back of the plot, meaning a wide window front with views from the living room, kitchen, dining area, etc.
Our plot faces northwest. I am attaching a screenshot from Google Maps. The red arrow indicates the north direction.
Do you have any tips or ideas on how we can find a good compromise and possibly get some architectural help? I want to avoid having the main orientation facing the neighbors.
Thank you very much!

Your staircase is in the bedroomI thought that was a roof covering… 😳G
gregman2227 Jun 2022 13:29Yes, the staircase is indeed placed somewhat awkwardly, I must admit. To be honest, I don't have strong requirements regarding the location of the staircase and would rely on the architect.
You are absolutely right, the granny flat occupies the prime spot and that needs to be changed. At the same time, our idea was to build the garage on the right side with direct access to the house. If I now place the granny flat on the right side, it conflicts with the garage.

Without the staircase and terrace, I get a width of 20 meters (65.6 feet)… that puts you well beyond the building boundary.
Your granny flat and hallways get the prime orientation, …What calculation did you use to arrive at the 20 meters (65.6 feet)?Similar topics
