Hello everyone,
according to the development plan, the following guidelines apply in our building area:
WHmax 4.50m and GHmax 8.50m
But now our architect says that for a two-story house with a gabled roof we could divide the heights as follows:
Ceiling height ground floor - 2.58m
Knee wall upper floor - 1.19m
Isn’t that a bit low?
He was also quite sure that it cannot be done differently.
We assumed a ceiling height downstairs of 2.75m and a knee wall of 1.4m.
according to the development plan, the following guidelines apply in our building area:
The height of the structures (§ 16 Building Use Ordinance) is determined by the maximum permissible wall height (WH) and the maximum permissible total height of structures (GH). For the “General Residential Areas” apply: (WA1) WHmax 4.50m and GHmax 8.50m The lower reference point is the average height of the road surface edge parallel to the street boundary line of the respective building plot. For building plots that have more than one street boundary line, the one relevant for the access is decisive. The height specifications of the road development plan are authoritative. The upper reference point of the maximum wall height is the intersection of the rising masonry with the upper edge of the top roof covering. The specified maximum wall height does not apply to gable sides of buildings with gabled roofs, (half-) hipped roofs, or staggered shed roofs, nor to the gable side of dormers.
