Okay, then let's do it this way. How would you describe the following roof on this house?
A flat roof with an undefined superstructure, or is it a shed roof for you?
Because it's exactly the same, only that he has built walls up to the roof covering and I have chosen a different substructure. Maybe it's not visible in my picture, but the roof covering overhangs the entire house on all sides (except the balcony). I’ll remove the supports and put walls in their place, then you'll say: Sure, it's a shifted shed roof.

It does not matter at all how sees it. What matters is how the building authority responsible for your building site sees it.

Hello builder,
what is not to understand about #6?
I repeat:


Or what you write:
Or:

In your case flat roofs are excluded because the appearance of flat roofs is not desired. It may be frustrating for you, but one has to be able to deal with defeats in life - and accept the opinions of others. Especially when it comes to regulations, the "head-through-the-wall" project does not help. Especially when the procedure has already been going on for about 9 months. For me, the time would be too precious

There are many builders who get lost in numbers and in this two-story issue - most fixate on a particular house and want it exactly like that... but without compromises, house building doesn’t work either. You also have to open your blinkers a little. There are so many possibilities to still fulfill your little dreams if you are willing to take half a step to the side.

If you are absolutely uncompromising and want to build a flat-roof house by hook or by crook (no matter what the construction looks like inside), then you should have refrained from selling. Now it’s a matter of weighing the flat roof against personal infrastructure... sell or compromise.


How do you know? For me, that is just hearsay for now...

I am aware of that too and I will clarify it with them. I just wanted to signal that I mean it seriously and that this is not a troll post! However, I want to keep all options open so that I can get visually as close as possible to my flat roof. I also find it visually very appealing when you build in Bauhaus style and, as in my 3D drawing, set an optical sun sail as a roof. Of course, it is a matter of taste. If someone had told me that it does not represent a roof because... ...a roof is defined by direct connection to a house wall or similar well-founded criteria, that would be fine. But I missed that argumentation to fill my knowledge gap.

I am in contact with him and as a neighboring landowner I was able to inspect the building plans. Therefore, I definitely know that.

I have no time pressure regarding the construction project. We approach this project with clear ideas and are indeed willing to compromise. We decided to purchase solely based on the mayor’s verbal promise to allow us a flat roof. We are fortunate to be able to return the property at the purchase price at any time. Now I am trying to make the project work with compromises nonetheless. And there are simply features on which we are not willing to compromise. You invest too much money to just say, I don’t have my dream house, no two floors, no flat roof, etc., but oh well. And I am not the type to throw in the towel at the authority’s “no,” complain, and then build a pitched roof after all. Life simply consists of discussions and negotiations. Some things are logical, some illogical, depending on the viewer’s perspective!
