Semi-detached house with unequal halves = different floor plans

I spontaneously think that I would pay very close attention to the decoupling of the neighbors' stairs, especially because your bedroom borders it directly

If the neighbors go up and down the stairs while you are sleeping, you shouldn’t have to hear anything

You are right, even if the "bedroom" is the children's room. The bedroom will be the smaller one with the north orientation. We are giving the children’s room the large west-facing window.

There will be a double-shell solid KS partition wall and very likely concrete stairs. Then it won’t be so dramatic anyway, right?

My question would be to what extent the project is compatible with the development plan: 1. the floor area ratio, which (to my knowledge, I'm not entirely sure) also includes parking spaces and driveways. This is really stretched to the last square meter, isn't it? A garden shed is already becoming a problem. 2. The roof shape... gable roof is allowed, but you are basically building a... what do you even call that... "double gable roof"? Ultimately, I don't think the attempt at the optical illusion of depicting "2 detached houses" is very successful. What do you think of the "VDP" variant, which is also permitted? The offset in the shed roof simultaneously marks the boundary between the two houses, thereby separating them, but still being perceived as a unit? Purely a matter of taste!!! Please do not misunderstand.

According to the development plan, this has been checked. The floor area ratio may be exceeded by up to 50% through ancillary structures. Everything fits in. (Tool sheds up to 8 sqm may additionally be built here.) These are parallel roofs. They are also allowed; ridge direction is not specified.

Ultimately, I don’t think the attempt at the optical illusion to depict "2 separate houses" is very successful. What do you think about the "VDP" variant, which is also permitted?

Please don’t take this the wrong way.

Oh come on, I am relaxed about that! It really is simply a matter of taste. We also considered the VPD variant (even for quite a while) and then discarded it again. Firstly, the maximum ridge height gets quite tight; extra windows under the shed roof are not possible for the higher part, and then I find it somewhat "forced and not well done"; also, two shed roofs are more expensive since such a large surface (on one half) has to be spanned, that’s what the architect explained to us. That is significantly more complex statically. PLUS with the larger half it gets tight with the knee wall on the upper floor. The building mass becomes huge overall and appears "blocky." We actually like the appearance of two separate houses next to each other. Two shed roofs meeting in the middle to form a gable roof were also once considered. But that brings the same problems as with VPD.

I am missing a reference to the origin or an explanation of why it doesn’t simply continue there.

In addition, two shed roofs are more expensive because such a large area (on one half) has to be spanned, that’s how the architect explained it to us.

What is his profession?

I miss a reference to the origin or to why it doesn’t simply continue there.

I asked exactly that there (because the new draft has nothing to do with the old one anymore and because some initial conditions have also changed), and Katja answered as follows: "Very interesting. A new thread would probably be better. You can just copy the information from the questionnaire." However you do it...

What does he do for a living?

Maybe you can explain it better if our architect should be an idiot. I can’t judge that; I do know other things. Do you have any other comments on the floor plans?

I have to deal with this tomorrow. Tell me, you get the north side, the tenants the south side? I am missing the location on the property. Would you like to provide it later? Preferably also in a draft notebook
