Dear house construction forum members,
I am new here and would appreciate creative ideas, opinions, and suggestions regarding our building plot:
Our ideas:
Our goal would be to build a spacious single-family house (220-240 sqm) with a granny flat (approximately 60/70 sqm) for us (two adults with two small children).
It would be nice to have a wide/long double garage plus "two plus" parking spaces in front of it?
One full floor (plus basement and attic) see development plan
Style: open, modern, puristic but no extravagant/unnecessary luxury
Of course, as much privacy as possible regarding neighbors
Plot size: approx. 920 sqm (= approx. 730 sqm plus approx. 190 sqm driveway)
Development plan:
Site coverage ratio 0.3, floor space index 0.5
Open construction method
1 full floor
Gable roof 28-38°
Knee wall max. 0.8m
(see also pictures in the attachment)
Further information / my thoughts:
– nice plot in BW with its own driveway (see pictures in the attachment)
– On the western edge: field boundary location
– Not completely flat: about one to two meters difference in height from west to east; sloping down to the east
– The width of the plot (north-south) is 20 m.
My questions about this:
1. Do my ideas regarding the size of our desired house correspond with the development plan? So, can I build approximately 300 sqm (house plus granny flat) there?
(Sorry for asking this so basically again for safety. But according to my calculations and my understanding of floor space index and site coverage ratio, it should work.)
2. How do you assess this? Will it feel relatively "tight" concerning the two immediate neighboring houses (north and south)?
Theoretically, according to the development plan (see photos in the attachment), quite large houses can also be built there.
I know, this is a high-level concern – but I would like to gather your valued and experienced opinion in this early planning phase.
For example, where the house should be placed in the building window to be as “safe” as possible, regardless of how/where the neighbors will build.
The aim of our discussion here is not necessarily a detailed floor plan at this time but rather a first collection of assessments and ideas on how to build the plot nicely.
Many thanks in advance!
If further information is needed, please feel free to ask!
Thanks in advance and best regards!
