Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 883m² (9500 sq ft)
Slope: gentle slope, about 1m (3.3 ft) rise over 10m (33 ft)
Building window, building line and boundary: standard
Edge construction: possible for garage
Number of parking spaces: 2 in the garage
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Roof type: hipped roof
Style: modern
Orientation: south
Maximum heights/limits: based on the existing terrain according to the district office
Client Requirements
The floor plan of the house is fixed, but it will be completely mirrored from west to east
House Design
Designed by:
- Architect
What do you particularly like? Why? The front door located between the garage and the house
What do you dislike? Why?
Estimated price according to architect/planner: 420,000 (our estimate about 500,000 all in)
Personal price limit for the house, including fixtures: 500,000
Preferred heating system: air-source heat pump
If you have to give up something, which details or additions
- can you give up: nothing
- cannot give up: garage, workshop
What is the most important fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
The floor plan is basically fixed, but for noise (street) and privacy reasons, we want to mirror the whole house so the garage, front door, bay window, house, and terrace are positioned from west to east.
Unfortunately, this has sparked many discussions because the plot was gifted to us by family whose house behind is slightly elevated (about 3m (10 ft), on the north side). They fear their house will no longer be visible from the south if we move the garage to within 2–3m (6.5–10 ft) of the western boundary. However, if we move it back 6–7m (20–23 ft) to where the current house corner is, there is about 80m² (860 sq ft) of "wasted space" between the boundary, street, driveway, and garage. Do you have any ideas on how to make use of this space or avoid it altogether without compromising the rest of the design?
The images still show the old version, as we will only redesign once we find a solution...
Thank you very much!

I don’t understand why you can’t just build two hip roofs like before, The garage/entrance section now forms an L-shape.

Sorry, I didn’t get that? No problem, I’ll draw it again, this time including the roofline from the side: in the top illustration, this side of the roof runs straight through, so—as shown in the lower drawing—I added a step that still allows for windows with a standard sill height on the upper floor on this side as well.

That’s nice. I’m curious to see the roof inspection in this context. Did you understand my suggestion by now?

Basically, the ridge shifts slightly to the north and the overall roof height increases a little.

unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to upload the new plan via laptop yet, and it always appears too small on my phone...
What I can say for now is that mirroring the house was the right decision. The architect came this week and leveled the heights. We also staked out the house on the plot. We were very pleasantly surprised because now we can enjoy at least 2 more hours of sunlight on the terrace, as this is the spot on the property that gets by far the most sun. There is a large tree on the neighbor’s side to the west, which casts a shadow on the terrace’s original location.
