Dear experts,

I would like to get some opinions on the planned orientation of the house on the plot.
The plot is 484 sqm and square, the street = driveway is on the south side.

Our floor plan resulted from many discussions with various house sellers, we like it (maybe we are already too accustomed). The entrance is planned on the east side, otherwise you would have to walk around half the house to get in.

I am interested in the orientation on the plot. So far, we have planned to place the house in the north exactly on the 3m setback area, the rest follows from the picture. According to the development plan, we must provide 2 parking spaces, the garage must be at least 5 m away from the public area.
Is it generally possible to place a house diagonally on a plot? Would you recommend something like that?

Please feel free to give suggestions regarding the placement options. The house will have a gas heating system with solar, so a south orientation would be ideal.

Thank you very much.
Charly

My calculators all have no root key
In this respect, measurements of the property and the house would be quite good.

1. You will not be able to fully indulge your penchant for edge development.

2. I would not make this narrow corridor and visual protection through the garage to the entrance. It looks shabby and is definitely impractical.

Regards

Hello Charly,

1. the development plan could specify the ridge direction

2. I don't see any added value in a "wild" rotation.
explain to me what advantages you hope to gain from it - if you can't think of any (other than it being something different), then I don't understand why you're even considering it...

I would move the garage to the northeast corner, then you will have more sun in the kitchen. I would omit the carport in that form, as you can hardly drive in except with a small car (because of the 90° turn). If you have the garage in the northeast corner, the driveway forms the second parking space.

I would even go further and swap the kitchen and the office. The kitchen would be way too small for me, and I don't know what to do with an almost square office. Have you ever tried to furnish it?

Just a quick calculation: Your plot measures 22 x 22 meters.

has already hinted at it: some development plans specify the orientation of the house, many specify the orientation of the roof on the plot.

However, there are also development plans without these regulations, which in my opinion receive much too little attention because for most people a house belongs aligned straight on a plot.

It's not about placing it wildly, but about finding the perfect location. It doesn't always have to be straight-lined just because straight-lined is standard. On the one hand, you can better include the position of the sun, on the other hand, you sometimes gain better access or larger areas. The garden can be designed more interestingly (although the sharp corners will also be of little use), and furthermore, you have a more elongated, hence longer area along a diagonal.

In your case, the garage placed to the east takes away the view of the front door and entrance courtyard, and on the other hand a generous access. 2 meters can be very narrow in some situations. If you rotate your house so that the front door faces southwest, you have a bigger access between the garage and the house at the front by the street, but a narrowing between the corners (house/garage) at the back. This should remain theoretical given your dimensions – in my sketch it already gets tight with house dimensions of 10 x 10 on a 22-meter plot and the setback areas – however, I only rotated by about 45 degrees. At 20 or 30 degrees it could work – you have to try that if it is allowed where you are. Neighbors of ours have it like your plan – I think it does nothing for the house and garden!

Regarding the location of the carport: it might be that a carport is not allowed even within this 5-meter setback area. On the subject of boundary development: building everything towards the border is also not great and only allowed up to a certain meter measurement.
