Exactly, that is the building envelope. The ridge direction is predetermined. Therefore, I wouldn’t know how we could pave less if we still want to drive into the garage...
Well, you yourself write that only one car needs a garage space. Also, you don’t have to use the entire building envelope.
And I wrote that more brainpower should be used… there can also be a window area on the west side…
The predetermined building envelopes are restrictive. You have to set priorities: if you want your bedroom at the entrance and dirt area and the kitchen in the north, then that’s how it is. Most prefer south and west-facing sun in living areas and would rather zone a long, stretched open space with design elements than give up sun and light.
however, then the kitchen, dining room, and living room would be in one line.
we have already obtained 4 different turnkey offers, all under 500,000 euros.
.., where we always get stuck on the topic “turnkey,” which can mean everything and nothing.
Does the price then include the elaborate double garage with roof and finishing? If I were you, I would take a look at the construction service description to see what is really offered for the price… otherwise it will be cheap, which is not an advantage.
The house will probably be about 8.5 m x 12.5 m in size. So we are already almost at the limit here. Unfortunately, it can’t be much bigger.
You don’t have to use everything. Building boundaries are not building lines… and there are architectural subtleties that create a bit more freedom than the building envelope allows. The architect knows that.
Originally a basement was planned, then the whole thing could be somewhat spread out (office, pantry, utility room, technical room in the basement), but this was abandoned due to the high interest rates :(
I would probably reconsider all options with the small plot. A basement is actually possible with a smaller footprint. But also the garage roof is currently suitable for storage space and utility room... however, if the double garage is replanned into a single garage (for whatever reasons, I see the costs here!!!), then rather the house roof would be used to accommodate office and bedroom and thereby reduce the house somewhat, so there is a bit more garden and freer zoning on the ground floor. You have 12 meters of height available, which results in a nice attic where the roof is there anyway.
