No... Did I write that somewhere?
I believe you want it differently than the esteemed Mr. Architect suggests to you?
Then I misunderstood it. Sometimes it's not so easy to understand in text form. In my example, one would have more window area in the southwest and also roof area in the southwest (keyword photovoltaic system). However, to the south one is even closer to the neighbor. Then one would have to build the terrace completely in the west and not between the house and the neighbor’s garage.
No, I actually thought to leave it as is. Just place the roof along the long side. Simply put the garage further behind the house and that's it. In your new sketch, the kitchen is in the middle of nowhere and way too narrow, isn’t it?!
What do you mean by "lay the roof on the long side"? So that the gable runs along the shorter side? Is something like that already done with a gable roof? Yes, the kitchen looks very cramped with this variant
Yes, exactly! Gable line on the short side! Then you can make the children's rooms facing the garden with normal windows and don't need double casement windows or anything... And of course, that's how it's done with a gable roof, why not?!
