Trapezoidal plot: Initial ideas / improvement suggestions

Dear forum,

we are planning to build a single-family house. As of today, we have reserved a plot in a small town and have already had initial talks with various developers. One question we are not quite clear about yet is the positioning of the house on the plot.

Attachments:

Plot with rough variants

We have plot 21. This is on the right side, top, the third from the left (marked with a cross on a picture).

Size of the plot: 584m²
Slope: no
Floor area ratio: max. permitted 0.4

Requirements of the builders
Style, roof shape, building type: country house, shed roof, casement windows
Basement and 2 full floors
Space requirements on ground floor, upper floor: due to the overall budget, we are planning with 130 - 150m²
Terrace in the outdoor area
Garage, carport: financially, probably only a spacious carport for 1 car is feasible

House design
Who is responsible for the planning:
-planner of a construction company

Question: How would you position a single-family house of approx. 10m x 9m, with a basement and 2 full floors on the plot? We already have two ideas, maybe you can give your opinion or new input on this.

A road runs along the south of our plot. Since there is a large employer in the town and many people live up there, we assume there is a lot of pedestrian traffic and many familiar faces. One planner's option to avoid too many curious glances and imposed conversations was to position the house diagonally. The terrace running around the corner would protect against prying eyes from the street, possibly also with bushes planted in front of the terrace. To the north, the suggestion was for another "terrace" to enjoy the morning sun or sit outside on hot summer days. However, as a layman, I think that I would be quite close to the western neighbor here and somehow cut the plot or my garden unfavorably.

Please do not take the variants too precisely to the meter; these should only serve as initial proposals.

I am curious about your suggestions.

Thank you in advance!

What do you want to put in the basement?
Daylight is missing
And it won’t be a bargain.

I would have planned the house rectangular, pushed as far as possible towards the street. Small south terrace for spring/autumn
Short driveway and access saves money

Yeah, I would also move the house as far forward as possible - the building window allows for that.

A basement and 2 full floors at 9x10m already make 270sqm, which doesn't really fit with the 150 according to the budget.

Pitched roof, casement window

This combination of tastes is not punishable, but it does require a bit of explanation to better understand your wishes.

Currently, the basement is intended to be a pantry, storage space, and a small workshop for everyday repairs.
Yes, that's true about the light; at the moment, simple light shafts are planned in the first drafts. Presumably, something like that is easier to realize on a slope? How can I ensure as much light as possible in the basement on flat ground?

Thanks for the suggestion. I always thought you place the house as far northeast as possible to have as much garden as possible in the south? If I understand your variant correctly, I would have the terrace near the street and a large garden in the north?

This taste combination is not illegal - but it does require some explanation to better imagine your wishes.

Sorry, I mixed something up there. We would like a hip roof and windows with muntins.

Paving the driveway costs more than grass. The farther away from the street, the more expensive the development. A terrace facing south is just too warm in summer. You can still plan south-facing windows; the sun must enter the house. A play area for the children away from the sun is not a bad idea. Our northwest play area was covered by a sunshade for weeks. Parts were not shaded by the house.

I would definitely compare the costs of a larger base slab and above-ground rooms. A pantry by the kitchen, a workshop behind the carport or garage. There is also storage space for suitcases, decorations, etc., under the roof. Laundry near the bedrooms where it is generated.
