Current building culture and energy-saving ordinance-compliant new development areas

What is better about a cluster of gable roofs? It is still the most common roof type imo. I find other construction methods very refreshing.

In my opinion, that is not true in new development areas.

There must be a reason for that.

Imho stimmt das nicht in Neubaugebieten.

Possibly also regionally influenced. Typical "Franconian construction" is (allegedly) a gable roof with a pitch > 45 degrees, red/reddish-brown roof covering... and correspondingly, the development plans here are also limited accordingly.

Then it becomes a matter of taste again. Personally, I can't deal with sloping roofs anymore; I had my childhood room with a sloped roof. Never ever again. Still: pattering rain in autumn, a cozy full bathroom under a roof window definitely has something, but not enough to accept the restrictions on usable space when buying.
Tuscany/city villa I PERSONALLY find an aesthetic complete disaster – at least if they are not stately villas in Tuscany. Shed roof – OMG! According to my aesthetic sense, cubic shapes are what please and are chic. Did I mention that our development plan prescribes a shed roof and I am currently building a house with a SR (if only the shell builder would finally start)? [emoji23]
At least rooms without restrictions on furnishing due to sloping roofs...

I would have liked a shed roof too. But my wife absolutely did not want that. But I can live well with the 15° hip roof as well.

I prefer better usable spaces by avoiding sloping roofs, thus a "positive aura".
Rational reason beats esotericism.

If you only had to pay half as much for your plot and were allowed to build twice as much area, would you also be more likely to build a bungalow?!

I would at least build more broadly downstairs, maybe one more little room downstairs and then about 1/3 less living space upstairs.

City villa: ground floor 75 sqm, upper floor 75 sqm

Gable roof house with a 1.40m knee wall: ground floor 90 sqm, upper floor 60 sqm

I would consider the gable roof house more functional [emoji6]
You also have storage space, can integrate dressers and side spaces well into the knee wall, have a roof over your head (unless it’s floating 4 meters high), and can actually show a room downstairs within realistically affordable living space.

I always found it amusing to talk to men about aura [emoji14]
