First, determine your buildable area.
You can do this by asking your local building department what the setbacks for your property are.


Why are setbacks required?
Residential setbacks from roads, property lines, drainfields, critical areas, and other structures are designed to protect the public health and safety by providing for fire protection, protection of drinking wells from pollution and septic drainfields from damage, allowing sufficient light and spatial separation, and adequate area for the expansion of road right-of-way.

Next, determine the shape of your house and begin defining rooms and circulation patterns.
