I have been following for a while and would now like to ask for your advice. We are still very much in the early stages and would actually like to build an L-shaped bungalow with approximately 115-120 square meters (1236-1292 square feet) of living space (for 4 people). The plot we have in mind is about 547 square meters (5889 square feet).
However, I am a bit concerned that the plot might be too small for our plans. The plot should also accommodate a carport for 2-3 cars, a pool (max. 3x5 meters (10x16 feet)), a wooden shed (for bicycles, garden tools, etc., max. 4x4 meters (13x13 feet)), and a sandbox. My partner and I are not very keen on gardening, but the above items should definitely have enough space.
What do you think? Is this all feasible?

How wide is the plot? Is it 15.67 m (52 feet) at the bottom? And at the top?
Is it a sloped site? Is the building area restricted at the bottom?
At first glance, this sounds quite ambitious. And why a carport for up to 3 cars?
Maybe you could sketch how you roughly envision the layout.

Josilicious8 Aug 2016 23:39The plot is 18.10 m (59 feet) wide at the front.
It is not directly on a slope but is slightly higher at the front than at the back. However, we would actually like to level it so that it becomes flat. The building area is not limited.
The third carport space would possibly be for the child’s car so that it doesn’t have to be parked on the street. However, this is optional. Two spaces would be completely fine.
We have already made a rough sketch. At first glance, the space seemed okay. Still, I wanted to ask here for advice. This is our first (and hopefully only) house that we will build.

Josilicious9 Aug 2016 08:04Please don’t laugh. This was my very first attempt. I know the picture doesn’t show an angled bungalow, but this is how we imagined the layout. The terrace is supposed to be located at the angle.
At the front, we want to keep only the 3m (10 feet) setback to minimize unused space.
The floor area ratio is 0.3, which equals 164.1. So, it would be allowed.
Best regards
