dinewegHello,
I am planning to buy a semi-detached house, but I am unsure whether it will get enough sunlight or if I will be sitting in the shade in the afternoon. That is my concern. The plan includes two semi-detached houses on an east-facing plot, 1.5 stories high with a pitched roof (ridge height 7.64 m (25 ft)). To illustrate, I have attached a site plan. In your opinion, which half is better? The left or the right one when viewed from the street? On the left side of the plot, there is a two-story architect’s office building, but it is set back further because of parking spaces in between. On the right side, there is a bungalow with a roof—not flat, but significantly lower than the semi-detached house.
I hope you can help me!

You can search for your plot of land on the map and then check the sun’s position, for example, in the afternoon.
I think the site was called Sonnenverlauf.
You have to estimate buildings, trees, and so on yourself, of course.

Without floor plans, it's hard to decide. The floor plans are either identical or can be freely modified. However, as far as I know, they do not affect the shadow casting :-). That's what matters to me.

My concern is just this. If limited to the aspect of where you can get more tan on the garden lounger, I don’t see it that way.
