Floor plan single-family house on a slope

This one has built something similar.

In the east, a house will surely be built in front of it soon.

I assume that neighbor "64" will optimize for a large south-facing garden. To the south, there is a fairly wide planting strip adjoining here.

I assume that neighbor "64" will optimize a lot for southern garden. To the south, there is quite a wide planting strip adjoining here.

I agree. 30 characters left.

I agree with that.

There you go. So the neighboring development, without rotating the house, results in a view restriction, thus at worst for the office.

Well then. The neighboring building without turning the house causes a view restriction, thus in the worst case for the office.

I am more concerned about solar energy generation. ;)

Hello,
I just remembered that we looked at this orientation pretty much at the beginning (presented here as draft "Massiv 1").
There was a sentiment that houses and ridges should align as much as possible with the street. This also seems more consistent to us.
Regarding photovoltaics: The various developers we asked all told us unanimously that nowadays it hardly matters. And for own use, an east-west orientation is even somewhat more favorable.

To the south of us and the plots adjoining to the east, it will remain undeveloped because there is a biotope area defined in the development plan that must not be altered. The dashed areas in the last shown plan are already parts of this biotope, which had to be (conveniently) acquired. Apart from a construction ban, there are no major restrictions there.

I talked with the developer at length today. He considers moving the garage back by 2.50 m the only sensible solution. Especially since for excavator work you would have to go onto the neighbor’s property, and everything there is already finished... That works for us.
Additionally, he would take the air heat pump (he also thinks 14 kW is too high and assumes that it happened to slide in by the architect) out of the cold basement because that is thermally unfavorable. We decided that we don’t really need the additional downstairs WC. Then this place will become the hobby room, and the previous hallway plus parts of the original hobby room between the living corridor and basement will become the technical/laundry room. Then you have to go through this room to the basement (and to the hobby room?), but I don’t see this as a problem. He will discuss this further with the architect; let’s see how the plans still change.

The neighboring plot 64 is an interesting matter. The plot is still not sold, only reserved. As I have now learned, due to the slope, the wastewater pipes would have to be 4 m deep. However, with the northern neighbor 63, for structural reasons, digging so deep by their garage (which borders the narrow, only access road to the site) is not allowed...
Whether and how this can be solved, no idea. Maybe we’re lucky and the plot remains undeveloped for a long time. :cool:
