Floor plan - plot for a single-family house, slight slope approx. 175m²

Are there pictures of the property?

There are pictures on the municipality's website showing quite cute toys with "Komatsu" written on them, and shoulder- to man-high accesses to the sewer sticking out of the terrain; the latest blog post from today: The company Pfeuffer resumed work on the BG Bickelsgraben yesterday, Monday. Since it is not possible to work on the unpaved areas due to the current weather and thus ground conditions, the pipeline construction in the area of the street below the fire station up to the Estenfelder Straße junction is being prioritized.

Good evening and thank you very much for all the previous answers. I am trying to sort everything out a bit...

Thanks for the assessments of the floor plan itself. I think something usable/unpretentious really emerges from the simple house shape and the neat staircase at the edge... Sometimes I just have a little fear of "too much space" in the dining area or of a too narrow corridor-like impression.

and The hillside location actually seems more interesting than I had hoped. I also looked at this excavation plan again and I really cannot imagine that the municipality wants to "reverse" the hillside conditions... That would mean that somewhere in the valley a gigantic cliff edge would appear? Also, houses south of the Knödellinie are only allowed to build lower than the northern ones (at least in that rabbit hutch in the middle of the building area) - a hillside reversal would make no sense at all there??
Could it be that these pink numbers mean the filling up on the previous height profile to level out waves in the hillside? If you read it like that, we would only have about 25 cm less slope within the property and a constant gradient direction?

Regarding the basement, I can only quote the price calculation:
Basement with 250 cm raw construction height and interior walls according to plan, including 4 basement windows 90x75cm 80,383
including insulation package Efficiency House 40 and 40+ (20 cm perimeter insulation on the exterior walls) and
12 cm below the basement floor, including sealing of the exterior walls against temporarily pressing water
--> what else besides bigger windows do I have to consider if I also want to live/work inside?

There is no photo of the property itself yet for the reasons mentioned, but the described homepage has some photos that give an impression of the hillside. Filling it up elsewhere would also really make a big hole... But nowadays nothing surprises me anymore... honestly - if they really reverse the hillside, suddenly I am almost at the top - I gladly accept that ;-))
I will add my own photo of the hillside though... The property is located uphill along the fleeing road. Left = north, straight ahead = east.

Where do I clarify this? District office or municipality?


With a 17m plot width, the idea would be to place the 3m building limit to the west, then the 9.41m house width comes and the rest (~4.5m) is available for the carport. That should almost fit, right? Thanks for the measurements, I had no or little sense for that... The second parking space is officially supposed to be on the driveway. In the last 15 years, our car has been an only child - it will probably remain that way. I am a bicycle commuter ;-)

Thank you very much so far!

The second parking space is supposed to be officially on the driveway.

If it is allowed? Because then the carport space would be blocked and that is usually not permitted. I only looked at the pictures of the design of the model house in the initial post due to lack of time and immediately thought: open-plan room around the corner, children facing south, just no bathrooms above the living area (the latter because of piping routes). I find your basic ideas good, hardly anything debatable in the sketch. One thing: the frozen food storage in the basement, that could possibly be realized in the southwest. If the access then comes from the west, the access route is shorter and cheaper. Did I overlook the targeted budget?

The hillside location actually seems more exciting than I had hoped. I also took another look at this civil engineering plan and I simply cannot imagine that the municipality wants to "reverse" the hillside conditions... That would mean that somewhere in the valley a gigantic drop-off edge would emerge? Besides, the houses south of the Knödellinie are only allowed to be built lower than those to the north (at least in that rabbit hutch in the middle of the construction area) – a hillside reversal wouldn’t make any sense there at all?? Could it be that these pink numbers indicate the fill on the previous elevation profile in order to level out waves in the slope? If you read it that way, we would have only about 25 cm less slope within the property and a consistent slope direction?

I also consider your interpretation a possible truth. But the hillside reversal could indeed be the case: highly unusual though, but the aspect of flooding and heavy rain disasters has reshuffled the maps regarding the planner-assumed hazard situations, and rain retention is apparently a highly weighted topic in this planning area. South of the Knödellinie, the difference to your property is that you are allowed to build a two-story house of the "city villa" type, and the neighbors a two-story house of the one-and-a-half-story type (however with a full story in the attic). So ground floor + OG with you, but ground floor + DG with them. The heights are otherwise the same, and the reference point is always the street.

I will add my own photo of the hillside still... The property is located uphill on the descending street. Left = North, straight ahead = East.

Why don’t you mark your location and your viewing direction in the plan? When is the photo from? (the terrain still looks untouched there).

Basement with 250 cm raw construction height

From the 2.5 m raw construction height, you still have to subtract the floor structure. You will probably end up with a clear height of 2.3 to 2.35 m. Personally, that would be too little for me. Otherwise, you have to look in the construction services description at the equipment standard for the basement. (Heating, electrical, ...)

As already mentioned, two parking spaces placed one behind the other (tandem parking space) are often not recognized as 2 parking spaces because both spaces cannot be used independently of each other.

I find the approach very good at first glance. However, I have not yet tested whether the dimensions on the property are sufficient. What would bother me: front door under the carport. Since everything is very tight there, your car will probably always be in the way. If that is the case, I would consider swapping the pantry and the front door. Children’s bathroom above the living room is a question of where to put the wastewater. I would want to know the exact solution for this right at the beginning of the planning. In your sketch, I would probably give the living/dining area a bit more depth.
