Now I’m already done... don’t feel like it anymore, and soccer is almost over, I’m allowed back into the living room ;)

I moved the technology room back outside again... I also like the kitchen better this way :)

A hipped roof is of course something that often divides opinions. I think it depends incredibly on the size of the house and the surroundings.

I am also considering building a bungalow (but it will probably be more of a 1.5-story). For me, the following points regarding a hipped roof are up for discussion:

[*]Bungalows are visually quite flat anyway, relative to the wall length. A hipped roof reinforces this effect even more. The house looks like a flat flounder. No matter from which side you approach the house, you always see quite a lot of roof. Here, an increased room height could already visually help, not to mention the feeling of space in the large living-dining area.
[*]The gable side of a pitched roof makes the house look taller (with the same roof pitch). This is especially important if the neighboring houses are built as 1.5 or 2-story.
[*]Such a gable wall also allows for nice design elements.
[*]In cheaper houses, especially with a hipped roof, the roof structure is often built using nail plate construction with internal braces/trusses. This often prevents its use as storage space. It simply becomes too complicated to always crawl through the sections.
[*]The gable sides of the pitched roof make it easier to have windows for the attic. Pitched roofs are usually built as purlin/rafter roofs. The space is better usable.
[*]With a hipped roof, definitely don't go down to the minimum roof pitch. At a pitch of 22°, there is no significant room height. Better to have a bit more pitch so that the space is actually usable. Even if it’s only storage, one curses a lot when you can only crawl around there.
[*]Generally, I would also consider—of course, this is also a matter of cost—at least planning a small knee wall. Even if it’s only 50 cm. It makes the house look a bit bigger from the outside. That, combined with about a 30° roof pitch, already results in a large attic. This would also be better convertible and usable later.
[*]For a bungalow with a low roof pitch, I would consider removing the ceiling in the living/dining area. The room would then be open upwards to the roof slope. This creates a room height of about 4.5 m at maximum.

You can probably hear that I am more a fan of the pitched roof. A hipped roof definitely needs a corresponding substructure underneath for the proportions to be right.
