Hello everyone,
we are currently considering the optimal orientation of the rooms on the ground floor for our property.
The situation is as follows: the property has its large garden facing NE with a slope. The ground floor will have a balcony facing NE, and underneath is the basement. The beautiful view is also clearly towards NE. No houses in the immediate vicinity and a wide view. To the SW - street side, a small terrace is planned for the evening.
Now the question arises whether we should orient the living room towards the back combined with the dining area towards the beautiful view, or plan the living room towards the front SW so that light/sun from the SW comes into the house through a large window. I am attaching the two design ideas for the floor plans (11x9 and 9x11 - property width 20 m) and the room arrangements. I would appreciate your tips/orientations. Personally, I find living room and dining area towards the back nicer but am only afraid that too little light will come in.
