Single-family house optimization and planning (180 sqm + attic without basement)

Yes, there are good reasons why you don’t find gable roofs on square cubatures. It actually looks quite poor. If anything, a tent roof for the city villa type or a flat roof.

It took us some effort to accept a square shape. [...] I can't find a square building with a gable roof. So it has to be a pyramid roof?

I don't know who or what made you decide on that, but this hesitation is easy to overcome: you don't need a square floor plan. Its moral value can kindly be described as low-calorie, it has no advantages, but huge disadvantages – almost in contrary analogy to "Mens sana in Corpore sano" one could say a completely square floor plan leads, on the one hand, to nothing, but on the other hand to non-square rooms (or as Cinderella says: blood is in the shoe). What on earth made you go for this floor plan relaunch? – to be honest: I hadn't fully realized that this was your new floor plan, visually I had thought it was probably a new variant of this one:

Hello,

after the old floor plan fell victim to the red pen and the clear credo was to start over from scratch and this time keep an eye on the costs, we did just that.

We thought about what we need, what we don't need but want to have, and what we neither need nor want. From this, the floor plan was created, which is based on an already built house in which we feel very comfortable.

Direct question, in the quiet fear of being completely torn apart: What is there to "criticize" about it? (Meanwhile, I'm in the Shiny thread, but only on page 20..)

What is supposed to be the problem [Satteldach auf Quadrat]

Yes, exactly. We actually wanted a gable roof - but find this rather rare on a square floor plan. Here, there are 98% hipped roofs, if not an even higher proportion. The problem is not that. We just don’t want any roof overhang, and most hipped roofs have that for reasons I do not yet know.

In our neighborhood, there are lots of houses that are square with gable roofs. They date from the 70s but don’t look weird at all.
