thanks. As for the roof shape, we really struggled. At first, I didn’t want two full stories because those “city villas” just have too much space. What exactly do you mean by a hipped roof not always fitting? Alternatively a gable roof with two full stories? The bay window on the ground floor was initially planned with a flat roof. We then decided on this intermediate roof, which in my opinion nicely breaks up the large facade and makes the house not look so blocky. The architect initially found the idea terrible and old-fashioned.
