Hello everyone,
I have a plot of land that is about 8.25 m (27 feet) wide. The building area is approximately 8.25 m (27 feet) wide (full width) by 17 m (56 feet) long. However, I do not want to build across the entire width because I want to have a passageway to the garden. I have two floor plans to choose from:
Floor plan 1: 5 m (16 feet) x 17 m (56 feet): Parking spaces would be beside the house, with an approximately 3 m (10 feet) wide driveway running the full length;
Advantage: Window areas on the side. Disadvantage: Cars often need to be rearranged.
Floor plan 2: 7 m (23 feet) x 12 m (39 feet): Parking spaces would be in front of the house. I prefer this layout much more.
Advantage: Cars can enter and exit without considering others.
I like floor plan 2 significantly better since the interior space is more usable.
My question is: Is 1 m (3 feet) on the side enough to get through with, for example, a mini excavator, a wheelbarrow, tools, etc.? I understand that there will be hardly any space on the left and right sides, but what matters most is that I can somehow pass through.
Are there any common problems I might not have thought of?
Who has such a narrow passage and can help ease my concerns? I am really leaning toward floor plan 2.
Thanks and best regards

That is a kindergarten – it says so 🙂Thanks, my view was so pixelated that I read it as a community garden. 🙂If this is the plot mentioned in the thread linked in #6, there used to be an old house on it that was demolished. At that time, it was common for houses to be built very close to each other but not directly attached as terraced houses.
Therefore, this is not a terraced house plot as would typically be found today in a residential development with the usual lot widths.
