Well, you can see a negative connotation in the word "wuchtig" — but that’s certainly not the intention. Of course, a 6.5m high exterior wall is initially more massive than a 4m wall. How it appears, of course, depends on the architecture and the overall context (landscape, neighboring buildings, possibly existing trees, etc.). I can well imagine the 22° as well.

I think: not at all ... is it posted anywhere here in the house pictures thread or similar?

Sorry for joining the discussion here ;-) now you just have two answers, which isn't so bad.



That’s why we always compared the floor area back then, for us precisely for this reason not only the living area was relevant.

I have actually heard/read that quite often. But of course, it is not automatically the case. It also depends heavily on the roof pitch. If it is relatively flat, a gable roof really looks nice. And it's simply a matter of personal taste what you prefer. In my opinion, a house with a not so high knee wall looks more pleasing, but as already mentioned, it's all a matter of opinion :-) I would also be interested in a photo of the house.

Not yet. My husband is not a fan of me posting pictures of it on the Internet.

But as the builder of a gable roof house, I do pay more if I build, for example, 20 sqm more floor space (top and bottom) than if I significantly raise my knee wall?
