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

The trick with the cardinal directions is that north and south lie opposite each other. So this is a twofold matter: first, a short side facing north, and second, the garden side facing west. Assuming people work during the day shift, most sun enjoyment at home is where the sun is in the afternoon. So the advice does make sense.

I would rotate it too. After all, the house must fit the plot optimally: long is too long and short is too short [emoji2]

Hello everyone,
: yes, that is exactly the plan…. you then enter through the front door on the east side.

Then some thoughts on the topic of rotating, even if this is initially off-topic from my original post.

So, I’m not that keen on the idea, we put a lot of thought into it at the beginning and also played through this option once. Well, aside from the fact that in March 2017 we had the house drawn and since then the entire floor plan inside has been perfected down to the smallest detail, so I have little motivation to change everything inside now, because that would have meant almost a year of deliberation and the architect fees were wasted.

As I said, the plot slopes to the north, at the back we have 2 large rooms downstairs in the basement in our version that now get daylight because of that.
Rotating would significantly reduce this area.

The issue with the photovoltaic system which we are getting is also not to be underestimated, rotating wouldn’t be optimal in that regard.

More benefit in terms of distances would have come from a different building shape (e.g. a Tuscan house), but it’s supposed to be a Jura house, and those are rectangular. Besides, the special feature is that under no circumstances do I want the living room, kitchen, and dining room to be one room.

In the new development area where I now live there are 80 houses laid out like we planned now, except for one, and that is the one I currently live in.
Having the narrow side facing south, I find not very successful in terms of room arrangement.

The advantage of rotating would of course be that the garage would probably fit next to the house, but personally I don’t like such a long driveway.
The front door would then probably be in the east again (not like in the picture where it is in the south), so no gain there either.

But exactly because of preferences and tastes you build yourself and go to an architect instead of taking a ready-made floor plan (-:

Whether rotated or not:

You can clearly see that you have indeed turned your back on the north.

I would have placed the living room instead of the office in the north and had a panoramic view, but at the same time, I would have included the garden in the planning, so that the rear part is already planned.

Anyway: do the basement rooms in the north have garden access or only windows?

Still include the north garden in your thoughts, you will still think about it next summer.

So of course I would have loved to have garden access on the north side through a floor-to-ceiling door, but we would then have to excavate at the back and create a light well and have the door go down to the base slab, etc., etc., which should cost 5000-8000 euros more... so unfortunately discarded...

Unfortunately, there is no good news in the meantime: the district office has just rejected the plan in the exemption procedure, which I had previously thought complied with the regulations (the one with the 7.80m rear setback), two days before the four weeks were up....

Slowly things are getting crazy.... our architect was specifically at the municipality in December and had clarified exactly the points that are now being criticized...

- Garage would be 10 cm too high…

- we are not allowed to build up the embankment as we had agreed/planned, retaining wall to the neighbor is also not allowed,

The fact that the LRA even looked at our plan after the exemption procedure is because we called X times about the setbacks. Normally, they don't even look at it as you are responsible for complying with the regulations yourself. That means we would have simply started nicely now and looked stupid afterward if the district office came by to inspect…

We will now have to submit a building application and hopefully the municipality will approve the deviations regarding the garage/embankment.
