Hello everyone,
My partner and I are currently starting to plan our house, which is why I joined this forum. We have purchased a plot in a new development area. However, the zoning plan does not allow flat roofs, even though that is our preferred design. All attempts to convince the building authority and the municipal council have failed. The zoning plan permits all roof types with a pitch between 15° and 45°. The wall heights measured from the base to the eaves are 5.5 m (18 feet) for gable and hip roofs, and 7.5 m (25 feet) for shed roofs. To me, this seems somewhat illogical. Since the plot is almost flat, with a 5.5 m (18 feet) wall height, it’s not possible to have two full stories without sloping ceilings. Ideally, I don’t want the roof to be visible from the outside. With a shed roof, two full stories are easily possible because of the 7.5 m (25 feet) wall height.
My question is:
What do you think about planning a staggered shed roof with a 15° pitch and a wall height up to the eaves of 6 m (20 feet) — allowing for two full stories — and then extending the exterior wall up to 7.5 m (25 feet)? This way, from the outside, it would visually look like a flat roof building, but inside there would be a shed roof, visible only from above. Do you think it would be possible to get such a design approved? Is it allowed to extend the walls beyond the eaves?
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Best regards,

This is not a roof.

What criteria do you base this on to say that this is not a roof?
