No, I think a solution is needed without increasing the height of the two dormers. Otherwise, there will probably be problems with the number of floors or similar issues. I haven’t been able to reach the architect yet. Background: One dormer takes up about 60% of the width, the other over 80% of the end row house width. In the smaller dormer, there is an escape route through the window.
I think roughly it can be done with max. 2.55 m height:
I originally wanted a parapet height of 0.9 m, building regulations say that 0.8 m is sufficient without a railing. I don’t want floor-to-ceiling windows.
The window serves as an escape route, so the clear height must be 1.2 m. How much frame at the top and bottom is needed at least? Together 0.15 m?
The purlin is supposed to be 10/20 according to statics.
Total [m]: 0.80 + 1.35 + 0.2 = 2.35
0.2 m remain for a roller shutter box. Is that enough?? The window manufacturer wanted 0.25 m.
Open questions:
To what frame size can I reduce the windows? What is a possible compact dimension?
What installation height does a compact roller shutter box require?
Can I "rotate" the purlin to 20/10 instead of 10/20?
How much tolerance for the rest should I plan?
