Idea generation - Orientation of the house

Hello everyone,

after having read along for quite some time, I now want to get in touch as well.
Our own construction project is progressing. We currently have a plot reserved in the Osnabrück district.

We are still in an early phase of planning. At the moment, it’s more about the possible positioning of the house on the plot. We are still guessing how to position our house in the most sensible way.

A site plan is attached. I have already marked the building boundaries (3m all around).

At the moment, it seems most sensible for us to place the garage (approx. 4x9m) on the east directly on the plot boundary and the house next to it (possibly “angled” parallel to the northern plot boundary). But then we would be looking from the terrace (in the southwest) directly onto the neighbor’s garage in the south.

Our potential neighbors have already built. The neighbor to the south has a bungalow, which we like because it “steals” little sun from us :-)

Maybe you have tips or comments on how best to position the house.

Here are a few details:


Bebauungsplan/Einschränkungen
Size of the plot: 590 m²
Corner plot (traffic-calmed street on the left and above the plot)
Slope: slightly sloping to the south (approx. 0.5m from the northern plot boundary to the southern)
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Plot ratio: 0.6
Building window, building line and boundary: 3m all around (already marked)
Number of floors: 1.5 floors (max. 8.5m ridge height)
Roof type: gable roof
Style: no specific requirements

[U]Requirements of the builders[/U]
Style, roof shape, building type: gable roof (with front gable to the garden)
Basement, floors: 1.5 floors, no basement
Space requirement on ground and upper floor: total approx. 150-160 m²
Garage, carport: single garage with utility room,
Terrace accessible from kitchen and living/dining room. Floor-to-ceiling windows to garden/terrace

Regards and thanks in advance

From where is the access specified or is it free? Are there already trees or something like that at the neighbor's, any playgrounds, disturbing roads?

Hi, the access can be from the north or west, so it is not predetermined. Apart from the garages or houses marked on the plan, there are no trees at the neighbors (but there may still be some). The neighbor to the south has already planted cypresses along the property boundary and installed gabions (about 2m high). The playground is at a sufficient distance. :-) The streets are traffic-calmed. They are not through roads, but only to access the properties (about 25 in total).

I would also prefer diagonally parallel. An access from the north, garage on the east at the border, so that a triangle is created between the two buildings. There, the breakfast/main terrace, which can then extend along the long side of the house towards the SW.

Thank you, that is currently also our favorite. We want the house to be as rectangular as possible, so probably 8x12m external dimensions, so that we still have some garden to the south/southwest from the terrace.

Even though I don’t know the measurements now: you will have enough garden, because by tilting [die Schrägstellung] you automatically structure the garden and thus give it more space through different areas and diagonals. That will be a great added value.
