Garage, carport with bicycle shed - land planning

Thank you very much for the suggestions. They would be great for us. Unfortunately, in both cases the average roof height is not lower than in the draft, if I see it correctly. And thus not approvable or exempt from approval according to the NRW state building code, i.e. average roof height no more than 3m above the natural ground.

The wall height applies in the boundary area, not the roof height.

Of course, you must also pay attention to the green line in post #12 – i.e. the roof line inclined in length – then it will work.

I better say nothing about our architect here, because there is nothing positive to say. He is currently no longer responding to our inquiries.

A (freelance) architect without quotation marks has to respond to you, you can set him a deadline. Being satisfied with an inclusive planner of the general contractor naturally backfires at the slightest headwind. But even with an inclusive (additional) service, there are ways to put the procrastinator on the spot. Promised is promised and part of the contract, even without a separate item on the invoice. I would threaten the general contractor here with rejecting price increases or claiming damages if these are due to delays caused by slow communication.
