Double garage perpendicular to the street

That also works with a staggered garage. has that too, as far as I know his GÜ and architect
Why don't you just put the garage door on the street side?

Because we need 5.50m of storage space in front of the garage. Unfortunately, our plot is too small for that.

Unfortunately, our plot of land is too small for that.

Then it is either the wrong plot of land for the desired house, or vice versa

Nothing can be done about the plot anymore, it already belongs to us. Then it must be about the house: What doesn’t fit will be made to fit!

So I don't really see an advantage there. Crossing the "pedestrian traffic" to a parked front door. It's much more pleasant when you can step out of the front door without having to watch out for traffic. If you have to build at least 5 meters away from the street, a 6-meter wide double garage, then you also have at least 2 parking spaces in front of the garage. Otherwise, design the area in front of the house more generously.

Which pedestrian traffic are you crossing? Here, every few weeks one or two cars stand in front of the door at most, otherwise I am very happy with my driveway. Quote Jochen: "That also works with a staggered garage. @@Speedy-OTW has that too, as far as I know his GÜ and architect
Why don't you just put the garage door on the street side?" You are absolutely right there. We have a passage between the garage and the house.

Can you generally say how much maneuvering space is needed?

Nope, there are theoretical turning circle calculations... otherwise you have to draw the cars to scale on the site plan (where the house is placed) and play around with the maneuvering a bit. That’s at least how I did it with us, rough estimate was enough and we have no traffic problems on our yard when it is used for guests, nor do we have to maneuver back and forth. But we also aren’t afraid to drive backwards. With a garage, that’s just how it is: whether perpendicular or parallel to the street...

Especially the length of the driveway would be interesting here.

The length is not relevant to your question. It depends on the area in front of it.

May I ask why you even come up with the idea?

Well, I don’t see any real advantage there. Crossing the "pedestrian traffic" to parked front door. It’s more pleasant when you can step out the front door without having to watch for traffic. If you have to build at least 5 meters from the street, 6 meters wide double garage, then you also have at least 2 parking spaces in front of the garage.

Marc+Jochen, it’s not that rare after all. And in my opinion it is even more practical because you use your own yard and it is structured by it. Attaching a garage to a house is common, but it usually means longer paths from garage to entrance door as well as boring/rectangular front yard/driveway.

Because of the direct access from the garage into the house, unfortunately there aren’t many possibilities for how the exit could be designed.

Well, you actually have quite a few possibilities. However, I wonder why the architect made such a drawing. You actually have other more common options. Driveway in the north towards east, garage in NE, trash corner behind it, entrance in the east, and counter the whole room orientation and let light shine into the house from the west.

I also don't understand why it always has to be south-facing. We have our terrace facing west and are absolutely happy with it. Sitting comfortably in the evening with a glass of wine on the terrace and enjoying the sunset late at night, that's luxury (to continue the description by in the parallel thread). In summer, I am glad around midday that the sun does not shine fully on the terrace. And for a lunch in spring or autumn, there is a small spot on the south side.
