Hello everyone,
we have found an interesting plot in a great location; however, the house to be built on it will have a garden facing north. Houses 2 and 3 (see attachment) are options. Does anyone have experience with this orientation? Will the garden receive no sunlight throughout the day? The house also has a roof terrace with the same orientation.
I would appreciate your opinions and experiences!

Take a look at Sonnenverlauf.de
There you can go directly to your property and see everything in detail.

Sabine Great website, thanks! You can smoothly change the time throughout the day and see how the sun moves.
I am not familiar with the website, so here is some advice and a tip:
Mark it out! North is at 12 o’clock, South at 6, East at 3, and West at 9 on a clock face.
In midsummer, the sun rises around 1:30 (half past 1) and sets around 10:30 (half past 10).
In winter, it rises around 3:30 (half past 3) and sets around 7:30 (half past 7).
You have to keep in mind that around midday the sun is at its highest point, which means that you won’t have any shade anywhere during midday in summer and will therefore get sun everywhere. It then moves lower toward the end of the day until it sets.
One thing is the sun in the garden—you will have plenty of that, at least during the pleasant months.
Another thing is the sunlight that actually reaches inside the house. For me personally, that is just as essential. You will hardly get any of that, maybe in the evening from May to August... however, at that time the sun is very low, so any vegetation from your neighbor or your own will cast shadows over those rays.
Regards
