Floor plan discussion based on existing thread

It also works with a garage and CP. Only it gets more expensive then.

Do you gain the 20 cm by rotating, or do they also result from a perpendicular arrangement?

You gain the 20 cm by rotating. A shift in a perpendicular arrangement towards the street has a similar effect. So the terrain has about a 10% slope. This means 10 cm height gain per 1 m.

Rotating also has the advantage that the photovoltaic system is better aligned to N/W and the view towards the south is not as obstructed by the future neighbor.

So you would still see the carport to the north with the arrangement of carport and house? Not as designed by the architect in the west (see attachment)? This then also results in changes in the basement, as the entrance to the basement is not possible as planned, right? How could the entrance to the basement alternatively look and what are the heights from the basement towards the garden...

If the house is built higher, then the basement should also be higher. I have additionally planned a small retaining wall.

I do not see a possible basement exit in your design.

If I set the ground floor finished floor at 599.5 m, then the basement finished floor is about 596.8 m. In your design it is about 596.6 m. The terrain barely allows a reasonable level ground modeling for the basement exit. Your lowest point in the terrain is at 496.60 m.

The optimal height is as follows: The finished floor of the ground floor can be at 499.6m and the CP at 499.5m

You can then go higher with a reduction of the knee wall.

The reference will then be 499.12m + 8m

Hello Hanghaus,

You gain the 20 cm by rotating. A displacement with a right-angled arrangement towards the street has a similar effect. So the terrain has about a 10% slope. That means about 10 cm elevation gain per 1 m.

Rotating also has the advantage that the photovoltaic system is better aligned towards N/W and the view to the south is less obstructed by the future neighbor.

Ok, understood and sounds plausible. The nicest view is rather to the SE, but still worth considering!

I don’t see a possible basement exit in your design.

See post 1, there is an exit from the basement laundry room, which should be accessible via the path.

If I set the finished floor of the ground floor at 599.5 m, then the finished floor of the basement is about 596.8 m. In your design, it is then about 596.6 m. The terrain hardly allows a reasonable level ground modeling for the basement exit. Your lowest point in the terrain is at 496.60 m.

That is actually a bit of a problem for us, we do want a nice exit into a more or less level garden from the laundry room and at least one basement room. That seems hard to accomplish...?

The optimal height is as follows: The finished floor of the ground floor can then be at 499.6 m and the CP at 499.5 m

You can also go higher with reduction of the knee wall.

The reference would then be 499.12 m + 8 m

That would help us with the basement exit as well, right? At what height would you see the storage area here?

But again, a note on the basement exit and the suggestion with the carport/garage in the southeast? Don’t you see that as a good alternative, as planned in post 1?

The appointment is now only on Monday, so we can still discuss calmly :)

Best regards

This can also work with the aviary.

How high should the knee wall be at least?
