Hello everyone,
after a long search, we finally had the chance to reserve a suitable plot of land in the community of our choice. It is a new development area, and the plot we selected is a corner plot on a "play street" with an area of just under 580 sqm (approx. 21 x 27.5 m). So far, we are quite satisfied with that.
The only drawback, in our eyes, seems to be the development of the plot from the lower side of the plan (approximately south). From our point of view, it would have been nicer to have an entrance from the left side of the plan (approximately west) to then place the garages on the north side. Unfortunately, parking spaces are planned along the plot here, so our entrance must now be from the south.
Somehow, this makes the placement of the house (assumed 8 x 11.5 m, example floor plan) and the garages not so easy in our eyes:
Our wish would be a double garage (or two single garages). If there are any advantages, a garage plus carport would also be conceivable. However, it would be important to us that they are arranged in such a way that both cars can drive in and out independently.
I would be interested in your opinion on this. Maybe someone has a similar situation and found a great solution for it. Other suggestions are of course also welcome.
Many thanks in advance and best regards
Jens

Somehow, this makes the placement of the house (assumed 8 x 11.5 m, example floor plan) and the garages not so easy in our eyes:
[*]House as far north as possible, garages next to it in the east
-> very long driveway, a lot of area paved over, house gets very close to the west side, so no terrace/garden possible there anymore
[*]House as far south as possible, garages right next to it
-> only north garden and north terrace possible, somehow not really our idea
[*]House as far as possible into the northeast corner (approx. 3 m distance), garage with 5 m distance (minimum according to development plan) from the south edge
-> "strange" driveway between garage and house leading to the front door
-> but still seems to be the best option for us and it is also shown in the picture
