Floor plan design - Townhouse with hipped roof 10x12m

I'll just overlook the part about the granny flat for now. I would try to ensure you have space in the NW to maneuver the cars as well. Also, leave a bit more space in the west for the house and an evening terrace.

The slope: it's in the northeast? So it would make sense to create an outdoor access in the basement there (where the fitness room is now) and/or a (more expensive) living space/guest room/office...

I would basically move away from the rectangle and simply sketch into the plot where the turning possibility would need to be. This area could also be used multifunctionally as an evening terrace. Then maybe consider creating an inset entrance in the NW that would make it possible to do without a NW corner of the house on the ground floor, to the advantage of the turning circle. It would be nice to make the evening terrace accessible from the kitchen. Activity rooms are better suited where there are neighbors. In undisturbed corners you can chill. So I see rather relocating the entrance to the north side, kitchen in the west, living room in the east... stairs could be anywhere. Since you’re open to bay windows or offsets, you could play with two offset building structures, e.g. a crossbar with the right ridge, then a subordinate ridge parallel to the plot. Basically a big T. Or an L. I’d probably go for a stylish narrow design overall, like the barn construction.

I need to visualize it with pencil and graph paper to see if my thoughts are correct or if it’s feasible.

It should be possible to park 2 cars side by side in the garage from the access road, right?

Possible yes, but in my opinion from the comfort level on the border to hard work.

Yes. Ah, but the offer only includes a simple garage and carport! Why do you ask? Should we question the offer more closely? Too much?

Garage AND carport? :rolleyes: Tending to be, initial offers here seem rather on the low side than too high, so it would definitely make sense to get a few more details. I would say that you can only build such a house including garage, floors, wall coverings, and incidental costs for that money if the fittings are close to simple.

Why not garage and carport? Double garage better?
That really was just a very first offer, we haven't even signed the contract yet. I think it's only a rough estimate. It will always be more expensive :)

It would then be nice to make the evening terrace accessible from the kitchen. Activity rooms are more suitable where the neighbors are. In undisturbed corners you can relax.

Since you are open to bay windows or offsets, you could play with two staggered building volumes, e.g. a crossbar with the right ridge, then a subordinate ridge parallel to the plot. Basically a fat T. Or an L. I would probably go for a sleek narrow look overall, like the barn construction.

Many, many thanks for your ideas! Yesterday we ourselves played a lot with the driveway and the positioning of the house. We need to think of something... In the east there is indeed planned an access to the house through the laundry room. We also thought of a small seating area in the east as a morning terrace. I'm curious what you will draw!

5.5m for a double garage is possible, but it's not ideal

5.5m double garage is ideal for one car and many children's vehicles and garden tools. Two cars barely fit in, if bicycles are added there are constant scratches.

But seriously, how did you imagine getting out? Reversing down the street? You need a place where you can turn around

You get used to reversing quickly. I'd be much more concerned about what the garden looks like when most of it consists of sealed street and turning area. The question is also whether you are even allowed to seal that much surface. Better to have a double garage/carport combination near the property entrance instead of near the house. There is a handcart for shopping.
