Single-family city villa with tent roof - visual single-story appearance

That’s what my question revolves around, and I can’t imagine what he means

He means that a city villa is not possible.

The definition of number of storeys in NDS is known to me, 2/3 of the ground floor below 2.20 m.

But that is irrelevant here. Now, I don’t know the surrounding buildings, but you yourself say that there are only single-storey houses with gable roofs there. Thus, the planning officer acts entirely in accordance with the highest court rulings: BVerwG, 21.06.1996, AZ 4 B 84/96 ... In this respect, it also applies for integration with regard to the number of full storeys, that it depends on the outwardly perceptible appearance of the building in relation to its surrounding buildings and not on the result of complicated calculations. ...

Then you can certainly achieve more.

I don’t believe that.

However, as said, you need strength, nerves, and time for that.

Here IMHO pointless.

They were for a long time of the opinion that a city villa with a hipped roof does not fit into their Upper Bavarian village image.

Yes, roof shapes cannot be prescribed by urban planning law, but only by building regulations design statutes. Therefore, the roof shape is not part of the integration requirement according to §34 of the Building Code. However, the extent of structural use is. Therefore, not the exact full storey definition of the state building code is relevant, but only the urban planning appearance of the building mass.

Therefore, it is not the exact full-story definition of the state building code that is relevant, but only the urban appearance of the building mass.

So a trick like making the house single-story with an extension, etc., would not work?

In terraced houses, there are often gable roofs that are truncated on one side, so shorter. And one with a dormer on the long side of the roof.... that might be possible. Test.

And then one with a dormer on the long side of the roof.... possibly that works. Test it.

But they usually don't look successful either.

Now we have already planned and signed for a single-family house in the style of a city villa with a hipped roof (two-story) for the second time with a builder.

Well, rather with a constructioncontractor – with a constructiondeveloper, it wouldn’t be your problem. Why "for the second time"? Why should it be a hipped-roof "city villa"? If you have aesthetic reasons for it, then get rid of it, and the problem is solved But if I fear correctly, it’s more about the "efficient use of space" of the "cube", and about the cheap flat-top roof. "Hipped roof" practically means: "continuous eaves", and with that also that the cost advantage of truss roofs is gone if you set the eaves height below the upper floor ceiling. That would then look not only (to put it nicely) "unconvincing", but would also take the project far away from the concept of the economy box – apart from the fact that even my imagination would be overwhelmed to conceive another squaring of this circle than something in any case leading to a Frankenstein sculpture. So, not that something beautiful couldn’t be devised there as well – but that would definitely be for the platinum-card client.

Away from the square, gable roof plus 2 captain's foxes, 1 on each side.
