High and heated sports room next to the garage? - Ideas wanted

I don't know any of them and just heard a nice word for it from Cordula Stratmann: "sportophob" *LOL*

Quotes from the 90s are well known to always go down well, aren't they?

Zaba, you dinosaur! This is about Crossfit, not BB...

Rich Froning or Mat Fraser are more the keywords.

Thanks!

Yes, the ceiling height is needed because you want to do pull-ups or other exercises where you hang with your hands on a bar. Since I am relatively tall, my hands already reach well above 2.50 m. And a rig like in the pictures on the first page simply has about 2.75 m height.

**Edit: Scout, how do you know Crossfit? I would say it’s still relatively unknown in Germany.

Quotes from the 90s are known to always be well received, aren't they?

Although I am only in my fifties – you may be right in assuming that I could get even better with age. By the way, the quoted Ms. Stratmann is also well under sixty. I do not know whether it is originally from her or from a ninety-year-old.

Valid objections. Thank you very much!

It would then look something like this, right?

It only gets interesting whether with a two-story building (ground floor and 1st floor) with a gable roof it wouldn’t become too high? You’d have to draw it from the side or maybe the roof in the sports room could be made steeper than the normal gable roof?

Thanks again for the inspirations.

your suggestion with the lowered roof actually only works if you don't build two stories (i.e., ground floor and the upper floor with knee walls), right? Otherwise, the sports room would be extremely tall.

What puts me off a bit about houses with knee walls (so without two full stories) are the mostly horizontal windows quite close under the roof. It seems to me that you would get little light in the upper floor (at least in summer, when the sun is high and the windows are practically in the shade due to the roof), right?

Have a nice Sunday, everyone.

Would it then look something like this, roughly?

The only interesting question is whether it wouldn’t become too tall with a two-story building (ground floor and 1st floor) with a gable roof? You’d have to sketch it from the side, or maybe you could let the roof in the sports room slope more steeply than the normal gable roof?

Thanks again for the inspirations.

That would be a kind of "winter garden house"

It would then be a kind of "conservatory house"

Yes exactly, theoretically you could really do it like that. You don’t necessarily have to fit all sides with windows. Theoretically, you could make the lowered roof a bit wider than the sports room, and then use a protrusion on the other half of the lowered roof for the kitchen/living room or similar (with a terrace door or similar).

I just have to have an architect calculate for me what is more cost-effective for us:
a) lowered roof in the style of the "conservatory" or
b) a sports room in garage style (also with a gable roof, just significantly lower than the residential building) between the garage and the house.

Thanks to everyone. Have a nice Sunday evening.
