Hello, good evening!
I would like to thank all the active members and moderators here once again, because as a silent reader I have already received some good tips. However, we are currently pondering things that are not, at least for me, discernible on the WWW. The following: Planning a single-family house with very tight specifications Max house footprint: 121m2 Single-story Lower Saxony
We want a dormer on one side and narrow windows in the knee wall on the other side, if possible. Unfortunately, we encounter different statements from architects, so I would like to ask the following questions:
Which parameters still play a role in the calculation of the upper floor so that the best possible use of the knee wall height can be achieved. The Lower Saxony building code only states full storey from 2.20m clear height, 2/3 of the house footprint. Now I also know that the thickness of the gable outer wall is not included in the calculation. Are there any other things that count in favor of the upper floor area, such as stairwells, interior walls or the like? From when are narrow windows on the roof slope side in the upper floor possible, or even impossible in the case of single-story?
If further information about our project is needed in this regard, just write!
Sorry for my amateur construction terminology!
Regards Tom
