Is the plot suitable for a narrow house for 5 people?

I suppose you cannot interpret the development plan. The plots are well buildable. Eaves allow a knee wall even on the west side. It is very feasible to build on.

With your small building window, this even works like this.



without a basement

The western plot is much better. The knee wall should be 1.2 m and large dormers are also possible. But with that plot you have at least 140k less for the house construction. That is at least 260 m2 more plot priced at 500 euros per m2? How big is the middle one?

Hmm. Can you put a half floor with dormers on a GF number of "nothing" (instead of a bungalow 1.5 floors)? That would of course be great. But yes: price-wise it will be very tight (almost impossible). Only 530k€ would remain from our budget. The view and the garden are still fantastic... The sizes / prices of the plots: West: 598m2, 323k€ Middle: 391m2, 211k€ *Right: 342m2, 185k€

Correct assumption - I am new... But I like to hear that! Thank you very much for the very helpful input! We will get in touch with an architect.

For the purchase decision of the property, you will also be assisted here.

You could also rent it out without windows.

But you're not allowed to (no kidding)

At the moment we are considering whether a larger bungalow with a basement living area (perhaps in the style of a granny flat) would be an option for us.

Sorry, but you're mixing up the options. If you don't have a slope or not a significant one, then you have to build your "house with a basement" correspondingly higher so that the basement as a living and usage level meets the appropriate requirements (windows, ceiling height). But even then, a basement becomes a full storey. And a bungalow becomes a house with a barrier, because of steps in front of the door.
A granny flat means one more parking space.

GF number

The floor space index refers to the living area of full storeys. Loft conversions can be done, but if there is no full storey, they don't count.
If you cleverly divide your 7 x 12, then you can make a parent floor in the 30-degree roof. Note that the ridge direction is prescribed there. So the roof is stretched over the 12 meters. I assume you don't necessarily need dormers since you have gable ends.

The problem: We are a family of five with three children. In principle, we could build 2.5 stories (also with a basement if necessary), but the single-family house building plot is a 'cut-off semi-detached house' measuring 12m x 7m. [...] The only thing I found to get a visual feel for it would be the citiline 2 from (and that one is longer).

Exterior dimensions: 13.04 m x 6.44 m / knee wall 180 / roof pitch 28° parallel to the house axis

No, no problem. Although there are missing details from the usage template and especially the reference height, I see no difficulties here. You can use the mentioned model as inspiration and adapt it accordingly, or you can look at the "usual suspects" (see forum search with the keyword "usual suspects" Brale / Hildmann Traumhaus / Tecklenburg / Weisenburger / Wengerter / Werner) who build the required house type hundreds of times, often also without a basement (floor plans see there, very similar to the Cityline 2, but with a gable roof standing parallel to the eaves as required here, usually with a roof pitch of 35 or 38 degrees). With three children, the parents sleep in the attic studio and the storage room above the bathroom becomes their master bathroom. These models are often 12 to 12.5 m deep and in my opinion fully suitable here as a "template." I see you as exactly the target group for such models. So the "problem" looks at a rich range of solutions (even if they differ only marginally). The 11ant basement rule (see external "With or without basement: a rule as a decision-making tool") considers a basement a luxury here, but of course it eases the house technology and storage room situation. The Goalkeeper thread ) may here for once not serve as a horror story about foolish mayoral terraced house construction, but as an example of an inspirational design also usable here (which makes me happy despite strictly forbidden punctuation emojis).
