Hello Jana!
I can understand that you want the long side facing south. I am somewhat surprised that you are being given advice here about a rotated ridge direction. For the following reasons, I think it is better as your architect has drawn it:
- Warmth from the sun in winter (if you have large windows)
- Orientation for photovoltaics
- Floor plan (living spaces to the south)
- Appearance on the property (I find it nicer to see the long side of the house)
Regarding the garage: would it be an option to make it smaller or possibly just rotate it? That would create more space between the house and the garage. That would simplify a lot.
I think you will have to live with the clearance area to the north; I don't believe that the municipality or anyone else will change anything by April.
Where do you have the entrance? Probably in the east behind the garage. I think that's a good spot, since you and your husband/partner will go through the garage anyway and only visitors go past the garage. And anyone who can't find the way will just get a sign on the house wall ?
Best regards
