The zoning plan permits BYA 25%, we're at 22%. Extending the south wing by 2.4 m gives you a proper dining room without exceeding the limit.
Any impact on the neighbour's view?
Ridge stays at 7.8 m, under pbl §29-4 (8 m). Distance to northern boundary: 4.1 m. We are inside the law.

The rules we cite
Every design decision is checked against these four sources. Here's what they mean in plain language.
- BYA / BRABuilt area & floor area
- BYA (bebygd areal) is the footprint your buildings occupy on the plot, measured from the outside of the walls, including garage, sheds, and covered terraces over 1.5 m tall. BRA (bruksareal) is the usable interior floor area across all floors. The zoning plan sets a max % of the plot for BYA (typically 20-25 %) and sometimes a BRA cap. We design right up to the limit, never past it.
- TEK17Building Technical Regulations 2017
- The national rulebook for how a building must actually perform: insulation values, daylight, ceiling heights, stair geometry, accessibility, fire, sound, ventilation, energy. Everything the walls, windows, and rooms have to satisfy before the municipality signs off. Every room the panel draws is checked against the relevant TEK17 paragraph.
- Boundary distancesDistance to neighbour & road (pbl § 29-4)
- By default a building must sit at least 4 metres from the plot boundary, and its height is capped relative to the neighbour's façade. Closer placement needs written neighbour consent or a formal dispensation. The panel places every wall with the boundary line and neighbour heights loaded, so nothing is drawn where it can't legally stand.
- ReguleringsplanThe local zoning plan
- Your municipality's binding plan for exactly your plot: allowed use, max BYA/BRA, max ridge and eaves height, roof pitch, façade materials, parking count, protected trees, utility easements. It overrides national defaults where stricter. We load your plot's plan from Kartverket automatically and cite the specific paragraph next to every constraint.
