Room layout house with northeast garden - how is it with you?

Thanks for the reply . Is the north corner of the house very dark? The idea was to put the utility room there, but then of course the view into the garden is lost...

No, it’s not dark. We have two large window fronts, so plenty of light comes in. I definitely wouldn’t let that "spoil" the view and access to the garden!
And, one more note from experience with a large glass front with the above-mentioned south-west orientation: In summer, we never had the shutters down during the day because otherwise it quickly got unbearably hot. Then you don’t have much left of the supposed highlight.

You have to let go of the idea that "it is dark in the north" and restart your hard drive. Yes, there are only a few days when the sun still shines through the window into the house in the north. Then you simply build the stairwell with a panoramic window or a small gallery where you can possibly sit in the incoming sun. In the living room, you often watch TV in the evening anyway, so you overestimate incoming sunlight there. You also don't necessarily have to look into the garden there. You usually don't stand in front of a window wanting sun. In the garden, the property often gets light from 2-3 sides... while some treat themselves to one or two knee-high windows in a sunny all-purpose room, you can plan a panoramic window or terrace doors facing the north garden yourself. You can also bring in more light or sunlight from another side with a staggered shed roof on the upper floor or bungalow. If the building plot allows it (which you cannot see in your case, wrong site plan), then you can set the house back, and an L-shape also shields the living room garden from the entrance area. Many things are possible if you get out of the standard "city villa" mindset. It depends on yourself what becomes more important. A garden does not only consist of a terrace but different seating options. In the evening, a bench in front of the property guarantees the sunset. If it is very warm in midsummer, sitting in the shady east garden is better than in the windy west garden. By the way, a north garden gets the sun from early afternoon.

Our first house faced north, had large windows, and living there was very pleasant. The terrace facing north was a blessing in summer, our neighbors with south-facing sides always had their blinds down. If we wanted sun, we just took a few steps into the garden. Are you the type who bakes in the sun at the beach in summer, or the type who lies under the umbrella/tree. You can do both in your garden.

It is okay and nothing bad. In my opinion, you have too few windows even with a south orientation. Yes, in spring and autumn you notice a difference for a few minutes a day

The garden in the northeast gets the first sun and a bit further from the house you always have sun

We had to take northwest, in the northeast there is the slope. There, only the upper floor has garden access

Here is a picture, taken yesterday at about 4:00 PM, absolute north side:

But it is already very dark in the room.
