Ideas for building over the garage additional living space

There are the heat pumps / air conditioning? in the area of the extension. Do you want to move them then?

Structurally, the whole thing will be a big challenge.

I would definitely not add a flat roof foreign body, but rather put a gable roof on the extension.

Doesn't really matter for the house anyway. Gray facade, gray pavement, gray gravel garden. Gray on gray on gray.

Isn't there another option? The garage is not designed for that and is outside the thermal envelope. Structurally, that will be a disaster, the room will then be accessible via the dressing room?

Maybe better to cut off something from the 50m² double garage?

Does the development plan still allow for such an extension?

That would be the first and most important question - because regarding gray, I think the house will still get color... the rock garden would bother me more, the municipality would have been on our doorstep long ago for that. Otherwise: - Where to put the units? - Full coverage is rather not possible with this boundary development, is absolutely right. I hadn't considered that, sorry.

One person prefers gray on gray, another white on white. So what? That does not answer the question. The house looks bigger than it is. Creating living space by building over the garage with the hurdles of technology, statics, and thermics is nonsense. With the money saved, one can rent a guest room, hobby room, or additional office somewhere for 15 years. Option 1: Carry out an extension on the right side. Even if the plot ratio is reached, one can achieve something positive with some argumentation at the building authority and push the limits a bit. Option 2: Fixed stairs to the attic, install a dormer there, and create a room. However, to my knowledge, the height restriction must be observed here.

First of all, thanks for the input

I imagine a shed roof 1 m higher than the house in its roof pitch.

Is that what you meant?

Yes, they would be relocated.

Actually, it doesn't matter for the house. Gray facade, gray paving, gray gravel garden. Gray on gray on gray.

Isn't there another option? The garage is not designed for that and outside the thermal envelope. Statically it will be a disaster, will the room then be accessible through the dressing room?

Maybe better to carve something off the 50m² double garage?

Yes, the dressing room would become a hallway.

Does the development plan still allow for such an annex?

There is no development plan

One likes it gray on gray, another white on white. So what? That doesn’t answer the question.

It is the base plaster, so the color is not yet fixed.
A dormer would be theoretically possible, although the stairs would then have to fit into the dressing room.
Unfortunately, there is a rather thick beam in the attic which limits the room height

I also came up with the idea to extend the roof.
However, this results in a knee wall of only 1.5 m.

What do you think about that?
