City villa 200 sqm + spacious double garage planned in Saarland

Why is nothing thought through there? I really like such sweeping statements. We want shade on the terrace. What ideas would you have for improvement?

On the one hand, you want to build energetically. For that, you install large window surfaces on the south side; the north side should have as few windows as possible to achieve good energy values.
Violations of these rules have to be paid for more expensively in terms of insulation, etc.
Anyone who wants shade on the terrace can get an awning or plant a tree. There are many possibilities.

Much more important, however, is:

it's really a shame about the light... it's so nice when the sun shines into the living room at noon in winter. It's only really hot for a few weeks a year, and you can always create shade.

You need the sun and brightness for your well-being. Life is too short to constantly fight depression in dark rooms.

And the ideas for another proposal can be found on almost every page of the forum. Just browse through other discussions — it’s not as if we’re discussing the first house here with yours. Nothing is being reinvented.

For 400k euros you get 130sqm with garage. Or 150sqm without garage. Especially on a hillside location. I always wonder why a floor plan is evaluated that is, first and foremost, once again not affordable. I also don’t ask whether it should have leather seats and chrome fittings for my Porsche, and then say that I can spend a maximum of 20k on it.

Best regards

How is the slope taken into account? In the house area, it seems to be more than 140 cm.

When I look at the street height indications, the height difference on the right on the north side from the street to the back right corner of the house is even 250 cm. The house only 2.3 m away from the street?

The slope on the property will be greened behind the house and possibly retained, at least the neighbor's garage.

I would be very interested in views because at the moment I cannot imagine the terrace at all.

That is one of the most curious projects in a long time

At what elevation level is the house supposed to be built anyway? Or did I overlook that?

When I look at the street elevation data, then

... I am sure that no one took this into account during the planning. From the front door to the terrace door, there is a slope of between 1.2 and 1.5 meters to manage. Inside the house that still works, with split level. But you can't apply that to the garage. I also see the planned development coming close to a floor area ratio of 0.4. After deducting the embankments for terrain modeling, which would be necessary to create terraces, I feel that the development leaves practically no space around it. A terrace on the same level as the front door would feel like an extended light well. On top of that, being on the north side means sun only from noon till midday :-(

Conclusion: it seems to me the planning "works" only without spatial imagination by considering the numbers without thinking. But these are not casually drawn numbers, no foreign phone numbers or bingo numbers, but serious measured elevation values. And I hear them say they don't want to cooperate.

... is there really an architect involved here already? Then you should be able to answer the questions in and following.
