Yes. Yes. The knee wall will probably tend towards zero. I don’t understand. I may have confusingly drawn many eaves heights. In blue, the maximum allowable relative eaves heights, in red the maximum absolute eaves heights resulting from the estimated absolute ground heights, assuming that slanted eaves lines are not desired. Although I have seen a house where that was executed very elegantly. I don’t like asymmetrical roofs and would build a one-story house without a knee wall with maximum roof pitch. Roof extensions seem to be allowed and the floor area is not limited – I mean, the limit is so high that it practically doesn’t matter for a single-family house.

Where or how would it be stated if roof extensions were prohibited? But there is this stupid 2/3 rule, which in turn restricts the attic space.....without any knee wall at all, I have the feeling that the house becomes very oppressive :/

In the development plan. Very rarely, municipalities also issue their own design statutes. I only have historical building regulations for NRW, so I don't know this rule. Maybe you can negotiate the application of the current full-story definition with the building authority. Otherwise, it depends on the basis. 2/3 of 70m² can feel oppressive, 2/3 of 200m² rather not. ... we end up again at the knee wall/dwarfed wall discussion and thus in the other subforum and with the pinned questionnaire there, which is supposed to make your ideas, demands, and possibilities transparent to everyone.

You can also comply with the 2/3, for example, by means of a rooftop terrace.

Escroda and 11ant don't really like the asymmetrical roof. I don't think your photos are bad at all. Ultimately, you have to decide how you like the appearance and functionality.
