Hello everyone.
I have a plot of land here with the terrible specifications.
Stories: I
Knee wall height: 50 cm
Roof pitch: 30 degrees
No dormers allowed

What confuses me about the specifications is:
What do you call the story above the ground floor now?
Is it now an attic or a loft?
Or is it (despite the tight specifications) still simply a house with a gable roof?
Where you can normally live upstairs and just have to stay under the 75% (which wouldn’t be an issue here)
I also wonder if there are minimum areas in the attic
Where we would then be here:
Or is this only to be seen as a loft because of these specifications?
"A loft is considered a full-fledged living space if half of the living area or more has a height of at least 2.30 meters"
If the latter is true, of course I can hardly or never reach "half of the living area" with the knee wall and the roof pitch

Just one last question:
Since I am not allowed to put dormers, do you think I could add a gable?

Thanks a lot for reading
