No.
I prepared something: the Scanhaus Marlow Marlow with 3 children’s rooms on the upper floor, office, and utility room... I’m not saying it’s the optimal house, but it illustrates that you have to extend more lengthwise rather than widthwise if you want to accommodate more rooms, even if they are small.
Thanks for the effort. But I guess we are both right. I didn’t say anything different than your example demonstrates, namely that with a rectangular orientation, the house with the same dimensions doesn’t fit in.
From that, it followed for me that the long side must get shorter and the other side longer for the area --> more square-like.
I never claimed that a square house is better.
That’s exactly why I chose an unequal rectangle from the start.
But if I now reduce the area even more, it will only get worse inside the house...
I was just on the page of Scanhaus Marlow. Where is the floor plan variant with 3 children’s rooms and an office in those dimensions? I know we’re not allowed to link externally here, but maybe you can guide me? I can’t find it under SH 142.
Have fun with the daily maneuvering!
I think my model shows that you don’t have to maneuver. You just drive straight in, turn fully, and drive straight out again. And that with a Touran.
Reversing 16 m straight is more the challenge there.
Carport is off the table: the posts make your maneuvering even worse.
A carport can be a boundary structure and still set back behind the house edge. I don’t think it’s as bad as you believe.
With the slant, your windows won’t be stuck against the hedge...
You gain width and several functional garden areas.
I’ll stop now, don’t want to convince anyone of what’s obvious.
You’ll manage.
It’s not that obvious. There are others who don’t find it so great either.
Honestly, it would totally fit my nature to set something at an angle. For example, my desk in the office is also set at an angle.
So it’s not about me not wanting to break conventions (although the building permit for a house set at an angle would still need to be discussed).
But what absolutely doesn’t work for me is the area restriction. And the maximum possible area is lower than with alignment in straight. Aside from the fact that I already consider the area north(east) of the house lost, as I would sacrifice the area in the south...
And to me, that is obvious.
Anyway, I thank you for your input. I did not dismiss it without consideration and trying it out.
And I am grateful for any expertise you would be willing to use for the interior floor plan.
Thanks and best regards
