[*]Plot 12 m wide and approx. 50 m deep
[*]the street side of the house faces almost exactly southwest, so the garden is located in the northeast
[*]street is moderately busy (I estimate about a thousand including buses – it is the "access road" to the neighboring district, but there are plenty of times when you can cross the street with your eyes closed)
[*]on the plot there used to be a 2.5-story semi-detached house docked to the neighboring house with approx. 7 m depth (I would guess from the 1950s), which – like the neighboring house – was later extended with a 2-story annex, whereby on "my" plot the annex was about 1.5 m lower than the neighbor’s and was additionally extended on the right side
[*]the neighboring building is on the left, roughly northwest
[*]on the "free" house side (south; seen from the street on the right) there is a residential building (~10 m high) with only about 1.7 m distance to the property boundary, thus shading the southeastern gable wall of my house in winter
[*]the original 7-m house had a basement, the annexes did not
[*]the house stood vacant for a long time and was therefore demolished by the current owner of the plot (basement filled with construction debris, floor slab still existing but of course no longer usable)
[*]distance from the facade to the street approx. 4.7 m
[*]street rises from left to right (when looking at the house) by about 1.2 m
[*]level of the upper edge of the basement ceiling of the old house was about 1.4 m above the lowest point of the street
[*]there is no development plan, so I only have to orient myself towards the neighboring buildings and the general building regulations (RLP)
[*]if I follow the old building structure on the plot, I can (and want to) build a semi-detached house with 9 m width and 11.5 m depth on the plot and theoretically extend it by up to 5 m on the "free" house side (3 m is "enough" for me)
[*]in particular, I have to orient the roof pitch on the street side to the neighbor’s house (approx. 41°), but I can also make the roof higher and the house 1.5 m longer / deeper than the neighbor’s as before (there are similar examples in the immediate neighborhood, I have also already shown the plans to the responsible official at the building authority and he saw no problems)
[*](the thick column visible on the left side of the house in the screenshot holds cables from which a lantern hangs over the street)
Planned is a KfW-40-qng house for rental with
[*]approx. 45-50 m² basement apartment, the rest as technical and storage room, entrance on the left side of the street
[*]preferably age-appropriate / barrier-free apartment on the ground floor (approx. 90-95 m²), entrance also from the street side
[*]the ground floor has an approx. 3 x 5 m extension toward the garden (northeast), which is used as a balcony on the upper floor
[*]possibly the walls between kitchen/living room on the ground floor can also be removed, which might be better regarding barrier-freedom
[*]a two-story apartment on the upper floor + attic with approx. 77 m² each minus roof slopes; separate entrance via an external staircase at the (side) gable wall
[*]special feature on the upper floor: the guest WC is located under the stairs (I also know an apartment where it was under a roof slope at 1.5 m height – which worked without problems there, so it should be possible here too, although footstep noise might be disturbing)
[*]roof pitch on the street side (on the plans left): approx. 41°, on the garden side with 1.2 m knee wall (possibly more) approx. 25°
[*]in the floor plan I have drawn the rather thick exterior walls of my passive house with 473 mm, thinner and thus larger rooms are always easier, the other way around as well
[*]door widths are generally set at 90 cm (primarily for barrier-freedom on the ground floor)
[*]whether the extension in the basement is underpinned or only gets a cantilevered floor slab depends on budget and QNG calculation
[*]the windows / furniture are only roughly drawn
The planning was done by myself (created using SketchUp, the terrain modeling in the program is somewhat difficult, so please do not complain about the stairs hanging in the air). I have tried to make the best possible use of the areas, even though the two L-shaped rooms in the upper floor/attic slightly bother me (on the other hand, my childhood room looked similar).
The state building code RLP says that a building with 3 residential units can sensibly be assigned to building class 2 (instead of 3) if it is on a slope (I hope that the 1.2 m lateral and/or 1.4 m from the street are enough for this definition) and the lowest apartment has a separate exit (besides the space-saving effect, one of the reasons why I rely on separate entrances / external stairs).
