Good morning dear ones!
We have moved back to our hometown, in the immediate vicinity of the parents/in-laws, and after 2 years of market observation, we were lucky to be able to snap up a plot of land. The purchase is in progress, and we are now working step by step on the rough planning of the house. For this, we have also been to numerous model houses in the past few weeks to get a live impression of which room configurations make sense for us.
A bit of a headache for us right now is the sensible placement/orientation on the plot and the resulting rough structure of the building based on use and conditions. The floor plans of the model houses served as inspiration; we are not tied to a specific developer but can very well imagine the Viebrockhaus Maxime 610 in terms of structure and room layout. Before further discussions, we would like to have our own rough idea.
This is my first attempt here in the forum, so I am trying to provide you with as much as possible from the suggested guidelines. Many thanks in advance for your valuable impulses and feedback; they really help us a lot in this current phase! Big thanks for that!
Development plan/restrictions
Plot size // 800 m2
Slope // no
Floor area ratio // 0.35
Floor space index // no specification in the development plan
Building window, building line and boundary // 3 m distances to the borders in S, W and N, 5 m distance to the border in E
Number of floors // 1 full floor
Roof type // gable, hip, half-hipped roof
Maximum heights/limits // ridge height 4.5 m, facade height 9.0 m
Other requirements // generally, it is a building area that was developed about 10 years ago
For you, a visualization of the parcel and orientation, without house or similar yet.
Requirements of the builders
Style, roof type, building type // traditional but also modern; currently, after the visits, we have most settled on the Viebrockhaus Maxime 610 in the version to be seen in Bad Fallingbostel, with clinker brick and eaves gable
Number of people, age // 2 adults, 2 children
Office: family use or home office? // need 2 home offices
Open kitchen, kitchen island // desire for an open kitchen and living area, similar to Maxime 610
Garage, carport // a large garage should fit on the plot. This is one of the main factors in the overall placement on the plot, which we are currently pondering intensely.
For you, the house as it stands in Bad Fallingbostel:

House design
Who is responsible for the planning // currently inspiration from model houses + DIY placement on the plot + rough layout ground floor
What do you particularly like? Why? // structure of the house or floor plan ideal for us, possibly mirrored version (utility room in W, study in E)
Inspiration Maxime 610, but the ground floor plan mirrored (so that utility room and guest WC are "on the right" in the floor plan, i.e., on the west side in the "dark corner" of the garage according to our orientation) and with eaves gable (facing south, where the dining table is). So roughly oriented on the plot, I would imagine:
The problem: the yellow-marked path to the actual entrance of the house. That does not seem optimal to me.
=> I have basically tried to place the house to maximize the southwest garden (because that is where you spend the evenings). Is this generally a sensible approach? The street left/west is barely trafficked, just through the residential area with around 50 houses, very manageable.
=> Other versions have the garage at the top right corner, as boundary construction, but then we quickly use up the allowable 15 meters. Access in the northern 3 m zone, long driveway. Garden shed is therefore out, ugly.
=> Rotating the house with the eaves gable facing right/east also does not seem sensible, roof surface for photovoltaic is lost. Placement by the street would reduce the garden; then there would be a lot of east garden, which is no good in the evening.
=> Or would the general conclusion be: this makes no sense at all, and for example, choose a house with a GABLE ENTRANCE (e.g. Maxime 620), and move the garage closer to the house?
What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?

What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
[*]Fundamentally: placement of house, garage, driveway on our future plot
[*]Advice on house type and entrance, does only a gable entrance make sense?
