Hello everyone,
I’m new here and would appreciate your opinions.
For weeks, I have been thinking about which house to choose, how to best position it, where to place the carport, and so on. You probably know the feeling.
Today, I can say that I have a design I’m comfortable with. The only thing I’m still unsure about is the orientation. I have placed the house facing south, toward the street, which means the garden is in the north, with a nice view of the fields. What do you think about this? Has anyone had a similar setup or experience? Where would the carport fit best?
Thank you very much for your time... Have a nice evening,
R.

I’m not familiar with the area. Not even a snippet from Google Maps.
Do you only get a view on a slope?Why only on a slope? Of course, it’s better on a slope, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m referring to the unobstructed view to the north, where you can see the field across the street, or to the south, where there are two-story houses.H

Hmm... too small, why? I mean, too small for what? Yesterday, I measured the garden area outside, 11 x 18 meters (36 x 59 feet), and I think it’s not bad, actually quite nice.What does the floor area ratio say? The plot and the house should fit together.H

I can’t read your mind.If you prefer the north, then place the house at the southern building boundary.

If you prefer the north, then place the house at the southern building boundary. That’s clear, I’m trying too… You might all be experienced homebuilders already, but I’m a complete beginner. Sorry I didn’t provide perfect and complete information. But that’s what this forum is for—to exchange information, isn’t it?
If I knew what I preferred, I wouldn’t have posted here. I find it nicer to face north (because of the view) and not look into other houses... but I also love the sun. We used to have a large terrace with a garden on the west side, no shading, and that was really tough in summer despite my love for sunshine.
With my post, I simply wanted to ask about your experiences: how did you approach it, are you happy with it, or would you do it differently in hindsight?

I like having the sun in the house, so the south. That’s why my comments are like that. So, what does the zoning plan or building permit say?
