Hello everyone,

Since I have been following this forum for a while and always found the tips and advice very helpful, I would like to present our situation.

We are about to purchase a plot of land and are now considering the best way to position the house on it, given the orientation.

Here is some information about the house as a reference:
We are planning a typical single-story gable-roof house (external dimensions: 9 x 11 m (30 x 36 ft)).
On the ground floor, we have planned an open kitchen, dining, and living area in an L-shape.

Due to the limited building area, we have come up with four variants for the arrangement of the house and carport.

Ideally, the living spaces would face south/west, but this is a bit challenging because of the turning radius towards the south/west.

We would greatly appreciate any feedback on which variant you prefer, including advantages and disadvantages.

Aside from the fact that the design is not exactly the best, with the plot first and then the floor plan coming afterward, I don’t understand why it makes sense to place the entrance at the back of the house *bangs head against wall*

I would recommend double-checking that. At first glance, the blue line seems to indicate the building envelope, but according to the legend, it looks different.

Why do you absolutely have to build a 9x11 m (30x36 ft) house? Is it a catalog home or something like that?
