Hello,

we are planning a semi-detached house and are uncertain which side would be the better choice.

Since we are building privately with partners and want to reach the best possible agreement, I am interested in your neutral assessment – also based on the surrounding development. The plot involved is 750/29. There is currently an existing building on this plot. The new building is shown in green on the sketch.

Both options look very similar, which is good for reaching an agreement. The compass directions—which are not shown on the plans—remain important. Make your own assessment: when does the sun shine on the terrace, in the living room, etc., and at what times? This is where the two halves will differ...
Best regards

Thank you!!
The layout is exactly 50:50, which is great. The issue is the cardinal directions.
North is always at the top on the site plans.

Well, I would prefer the lower half shown in the plan, but that’s a matter of personal taste, as it receives light and sun from the east, south, and west...
Best regards

Thank you, because this is going to be tricky since we will probably both want this page.

And is there a plan for this scenario, or does one party have the first right of refusal?
