Hello,

we are also in the planning phase for a single-family house to be able to get a cost estimate. Now we are considering what is more practical, an L-shaped or an I-shaped living/dining room?

Development plan/restrictions
Plot size: 506
Slope: No
Floor area ratio: 0.3
Floor space index:
Building window, building line and boundary: 3 meters (10 feet) on west and east
Edge development:
Number of parking spaces: unlimited
Number of floors: 2
Roof type: hipped roof, 22°
Architectural style:
Orientation:
Maximum heights/limits:
Additional requirements: Trees in the south must remain

Owners’ requirements:
5 rooms, 2 floors (2 children's rooms, office and bedroom upstairs), double carport/garage, large living room, separate kitchen, approx. 140 m² (1,507 sq ft), downstairs WC & shower, upstairs bathroom

House design
Who created the design:
- Planner from a construction company: this is the file EG_ArchitektVonGU.PNG, where the L shape was discouraged.
- Plan from a prefabricated house supplier (unedited): EG_FBAnbieter

We considered rotating the prefabricated house plan so that the entrance is on the north side, with the carport/garage above it. The kitchen should be where "Work / Guest" is shown, with an additional door from there to the living and dining room. The terrace should be on the south side, allowing access from both the kitchen and the living room.

Our plot is marked with an X on the plan; the trees where the X is located must remain.

What do you think is better, L or I shape? Do you have any other ideas for us?

Ground floor on the right. Argh. I can no longer edit the attachments, otherwise I would have rotated the upper floor image.

Upper floor plan: bedroom, study, 2 children's rooms, bathroom, landing.
