Good evening everyone,
We are choosing between four plots of land.
Which one would you choose? The options are 1, 2, 3, and 4.
How would you position the terrace, garden, and double garage?
We are unsure because most of the garden will face north, and a north-facing terrace doesn’t seem practical, right? Please help us 🙂
Which plot is best suited for creating a nice garden and terrace?
Plot 1: 852 sqm (9,168 sq ft), no need to build at an angle; the development plan only suggests one!
Plot 2: 761 sqm (8,190 sq ft), the garage would need to be built on the left, as there is only a small path on the southern part of the street (hatched area)
Plot 3: 742 sqm (7,987 sq ft)
Plot 4: 843 sqm (9,074 sq ft)
All plots are in a row. There is a power line to the north, so a setback from the northern boundary must be observed! The area to the north cannot be built on.

We still have the free choice but need to decide quickly.
Thanks for your advice.
Best regards

Don’t stress yourself: the neighbor to your left is also building, so eventually the sun will be blocked there.
Or your garage might be in the way.
And with these plot sizes, you’d typically set up several seating areas anyway.
