Hello,
Since the budget for the basement is probably insufficient, I am currently trying to adjust the floor plan accordingly. My question is whether this is permissible:
It concerns the bay window, which I have moved closer to the street and the neighboring property.
Does the design comply with the state building code for Baden-Württemberg?
Additionally, the development plan specifies the following:
The buildable areas defined by front and rear building limits may exceptionally be exceeded by up to 1.5m (4 feet 11 inches) towards the street and garden side.
However, this applies only to secondary structural elements such as balconies, stairwells, bay windows, conservatories, etc.
The total width of protruding building parts must not exceed one-third of the building’s width.
The building has a width of 11.5m (37 feet 8 inches). Therefore, it seems permissible that the bay window projects 1.5m (4 feet 11 inches) towards the street with a width of 3.5m (11 feet 6 inches).
What do you think about the bay window? Legal or illegal?
I am also happy to receive opinions on the ground floor layout.

- House wall with a 2.5m (8 feet 2 inches) distance from the property boundary
- Bay window is 2.0m (6 feet 7 inches) from the property boundary and 5m (16 feet 5 inches) wide, extending only 0.5m (1 foot 8 inches) outward (see state building code §5 (6))

And the architect is only drawing variants we suggest ???? What kind of architect is that? What is their fee for? Or are they employed by the general contractor who is going to build your house?

When enlarging the house, I realize that the floor area ratio of 0.4 must not be exceeded. Are paths and front garden included in this? Or only the house, garage, and parking space?That should be specified in your development plan or known by the architect.

Too bad, the spark of inspiration is missing right now. We’re currently going through a bit of an idea slump since the basement was dropped.Why should you also be familiar with the methods and applications the architect has learned?

The total width of the projecting building parts must not exceed one-third of the building’s total width.By this, the total width of all bay windows is meant. If your building is 11.5 meters (38 feet) wide, the maximum total width of the bay windows may be 11.5 ÷ 3 meters (approximately 4 meters / 13 feet), so the total width should remain under 4 meters (13 feet).
If I’m not mistaken as an amateur.

Aloadihoa28 Oct 2015 22:28Do all bay windows extend beyond the 15m (49 feet) deep building envelope, or are some located within the building envelope?

Are all bay windows that protrude beyond the 15m (49 feet) building window allowed, or only those within the building window?All bay windows of the building are included—regardless of the building window or building boundary. At least, this is what your quote from the development plan states. I have no idea if you shortened anything there.

Aloadihoa28 Oct 2015 22:54I have linked the development plan above. Point A4.3 actually deals with exceeding the building boundaries. The last paragraph is the sentence you quoted. Does this no longer concern exceeding the building boundaries?
