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

My opinion on property boundaries: Fences are so 1950s... If anything, small walls or shrubs are better. Especially in new housing developments, people often leave everything open or mark property lines very subtly. It looks odd when your own property is suddenly fenced in...

With children and dogs, fences are very practical, and they can also look attractive.

Best regards,

Yes, and when various wild animals visit at night, a game fence can be quite useful. Last night a fox came by (it can get through the fence), sat right in front of our front door, and howled at the top of its lungs. It sounded like someone was being attacked. I politely asked it to howl somewhere else. It looked at me like, "Are you crazy or what?" but eventually walked away. A beautiful, large animal. 🙂

Catching, leveling, and a handsaw on the car antenna. That’s late 80s style.
