Hello. I have tried to accurately draw the surroundings of our property to scale, as we find it very difficult to decide where we would like to have the terrace and our living spaces. The property has a street to the west designated as a 30 km/h zone. This is a street in a new development area, which will later consist of 40 single-family houses, meaning the corresponding cars will all have to pass by our property. Our parking spaces must also be located in the northwest. I have often read that the terrace is preferably oriented to the west if you are a sun lover. We are. However, west would mean that the terrace faces the street side for us. We are somewhat uncertain about the noise from the cars. We cannot assess this in a 30 km/h zone. Also, there may be a fence no higher than 80 cm, so people would be able to see directly onto our plates with a west-facing terrace. The same would apply if we put the dining room in the west. And in the living room, people would preferably not observe us so closely either... I know the perfect solution (sun from morning to evening and complete privacy) does not exist... Nevertheless, we would be interested in where you would place the garden terrace if you were in our position and which rooms you would locate on the west side of the house. Looking forward to your ideas and suggestions. Yours, Peter
