L-shaped floor plan - What is your opinion?

How does it look concretely when designing an entrance (small podium step)? Does the first step of the staircase up to the boundary count as the 3m mark or are the steps excluded from the distance measurement?

this should then be a subordinate component and therefore does not count. But don't make yourself a tripping hazard with only one step

Hi ypg,
Thanks in advance
Does this mean that only a staircase with one step is a subordinate component?
Is there a limit to how many steps a staircase can have so that the boundary distance is still measured from the property boundary to the house wall and not from the property boundary to the house staircase?
Thanks

Hi ypg, Thanks already Does that mean that only a staircase with one step is a subordinate component? Is there a limit to how many steps a staircase may have so that the boundary distance is still measured from the property boundary to the house wall and not from the property boundary to the house staircase? Thanks

I believe that is stated in the general building regulations or state building regulations under subordinate component or similar, that such a thing may not exceed 1/3 of the wall. This concerns bay windows, entrance platforms, projections and similar. You have to look it up yourself.

Found!
Thank you!

I had already understood the concept of bypassing the upper floor by enlarging the ground floor, however ...
... I initially did not notice the setback of the upper floor - otherwise I would have already criticized it: that’s double trouble, i.e. a structural cost driver with the added downside of a stupid appearance

Hello ,

We have received a first concrete offer. There, the setback upper floor was calculated. €5,000 additional cost for ceiling reinforcement (thicker ground floor ceiling to upper floor) and bam, walls of the upper floor can be set back and we save about €20,000 for the unbuilt floor area on the upper floor that disappears due to the setback of the exterior walls.

That is pretty much the absolute opposite of what everyone else in this thread has written to me.
How should we proceed from here?

Discussions with another company (no offer yet), on the other hand, agreed with the forum opinion: the setback would be more expensive than building flush with the masonry.

Both variants are visually very appealing to us, space/sqm would also be sufficient for us in both layouts. We actually wanted to decide for/against setting back the exterior walls of the upper floor based on the price.

Somehow everyone only wants your best... namely your money

Conversations with another company (no offer yet) agreed with the forum opinion: setting back would be more expensive than building flush with the wall.

That is also my unchanged view.

We have received a first concrete offer. It was calculated with a set-back upper floor. €5,000 additional costs for a ceiling reinforcement (thicker ceiling from ground floor to upper floor) and bam, the walls of the upper floor can be set back and we save about €20,000 for the unbuilt area in the upper floor, which is eliminated by the set-back of the exterior walls. [...] How should one proceed from here?

Great friendship price. No question: if it has no catch, then accept it.

That is pretty much the exact opposite of what everyone else here in this thread has told me.

In all theory known to me, it will remain so. If he has no back door in it (and you trust him not to repeat the difference in other positions when he realizes he made a miscalculation), then screw it that I am theoretically right and accept his offer in practice. If the steel is added there, the construction supervisor should weigh it afterwards and everything is fine. What do you care about my talk if your contractor gives you his five-thousand promise without ifs and buts, in writing.
