Knee wall height / Proposal from the building authority

I will take a photo

Centering was not possible because a distribution cabinet blocked my view...

Thank you Musketier & Yvonne!

In the meantime, I have looked at the provider's page; there the house is specified with a 44 cm knee wall. And took another look at the drawing of the OP – of course, you were right Musketier. Yesterday I must have been blind, sorry.

The single-family house in your pictures looks visually very appealing; on the other hand, the question arises for me as to why I should give up usable floor space per floor in favor of a one-sided higher knee wall of just over 2.00 m by "x"?

In the hand drawing of the OP, the approach of the double-sided shed roof was chosen differently, as the house itself does not lose any footprint. The question remains whether the BF allows this measurement, whether the permitted ridge height is maintained, and what additional costs the OP has to expect.

Rhenish regards

The question is whether the eaves height played any role in the planning phase of the house design at all. If the house is located in an area of 2-story construction, the current design is completely irrelevant. For me, it is a completely ordinary architect-designed house that would not be approved in every development plan with a 3.5m eaves height.

Do you really find the house beautiful? Rarely have I seen anything more ugly

It is different and interesting, but not necessarily beautiful. But to get back to the OP. If there are only a few posts on the left and right, I don't think it looks better. If you then consider the additional costs for the larger roof and possibly also a larger base plate, you could probably increase the floor area of the house a bit and rather artificially raise the knee walls in the upper floor with drywall.

I don't really understand why the eaves height is being set anyway. If it then leads to this kind of deception being carried out. The municipality should just abolish the eaves height altogether.
Personally, it's much more important to me that my neighbors don't exceed the ridge height.

In our development area, 2 full floors (town villa) are allowed, but a knee wall of a ridiculous 40 cm. There are no regulations about what and how to build (color and so on), only the knee wall was overlooked and then signed off. And since no one can admit a mistake, everyone who doesn't want to build a bungalow or town villa now has to live with 40 cm. I stand about in the middle of a room without hitting the ceiling. Really rubbish. And yet there are people who build something like that...
