No, I didn’t realize at first that these were meant to be skylights (since I can't see them on the floor plan).
Yes and no, these options are not necessarily mutually exclusive. However, visible rafters would be present in that area.
Attached is my proposed change for the roof structure (left as originally planned; yellow indicates the desired air space; right shows the alternative). If the roof section over the dining area and covered terrace were designed as a gable roof—otherwise the hipped roof can remain—gable glazing could be an alternative to double casement windows:
Well, Scanhaus Marlow has disqualified itself anyway. It’s probably easier to implement with solid masonry construction. Thanks for the suggestions; a gable dormer was already under discussion for us. However, the roofing there doesn’t look very elegant, and a hipped roof simply fits our desired country house style better. Also, gable windows are harder to darken than skylights.

Take a look at the bungalows from Danwood, just to suggest that bungalows can have different designs. If a replica is even considered, I would definitely lean towards recreating a Viebrockhaus with Danwood rather than with Scanhaus Marlow Marlow.

Gable windows are also harder to darken than skylights. Not at all, and moreover, the "greenhouse effect" is less pronounced with vertical windows than with horizontal ones.
However, I wouldn’t consider this dining area lighting an absolute deal breaker. Unless money is no object and the house must be designed unconditionally around this detail.

Well, if you want input for improvements, then such specifics should be mentioned in the first post. I wonder why the office is supposed to be located in the private area when, as you say, there will be visitors. I don’t quite understand this, and apparently you are annoyed because the requirements are being asked here.
No one suggested guiding the office or clients through the dressing room. It may all be settled for you, but we review designs throughout the year and sometimes think outside the box rather than following the standard approach that companies like Viebrockhaus use.
Have a look at the bungalows from Danwood, just to throw out the idea that these bungalows can look different. Scanhaus Marlow has also caught up: by simply moving or removing a wall here and there, you get a completely different living experience within your own home. But you already know that.I think there is a misunderstanding here: a private zone includes the bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom. The bathroom and office should be accessible separately. Everything else doesn’t make sense. Designing rooms without a hallway is extremely difficult.
The reason for posting a floor plan here is exactly to get tips and suggestions from "lateral thinkers" like you, who are happy to help. Completely dismissing the floor plan is not very helpful, as we have been working with this layout for a long time and have thoroughly reviewed catalogs. We simply didn’t like the floor plans from Danwood. The basic shape of the exterior walls must remain to allow for an airspace with a covered terrace facing south. The interior walls are flexible.

If a rebuild is to be done at all, I would definitely choose to rebuild a Viebrock house with Danwood rather than with Scanhaus Marlow Marlow.
The roof structure they use to justify the difficulty of this open space request is not dependent on masonry or timber frame construction.
Not at all, and besides, the "greenhouse effect" is actually less pronounced than with horizontally oriented windows.
However, I wouldn’t single out this dining area lighting as an absolute dealbreaker. Unless money is no object, and the house needs to be designed entirely around this detail.Why is Danwood preferred for the rebuild?
This explanation was given by a Scanhaus employee. The difficulty is probably best assessed by an architect or structural engineer. It is feasible and affordable. A regional company builds custom homes using timber frame construction and has so far seen no issues here.
We favor the hip roof. Nevertheless, we want to create an open space. We have often seen gable-open roof conversions with friends and other homeowners. However, a gable roof seems to be better suited for this purpose.

unfortunately we still have to include a study room within the private area what that is supposed to mean.

Why is Danwood preferred for the rebuild? I would say Danwood is more likely to reach a level comparable to a Viebrockhaus when compared to Scanhaus Marlow. However, if you want a Viebrockhaus home, it’s best to go directly to Viebrockhaus.

I would tend to trust Danwood more as a Scanhaus Marlow Marlow to reach a level comparable to Viebrockhaus. However, the best option is obviously to go directly to Viebrockhaus if you want a Viebrockhaus house.
This might simply come down to the fact that one builds roof trusses with beams and the other with rafters.That was probably a bit unclear: The office must be on the left side, meaning near the private area, but of course it should not be accessible as a room through the dressing area.
We have looked at Danwood’s houses again, and most of the floor plans for their L-shaped bungalows are also based on a long corridor or L-shaped corridor. This corridor is also designed to be very spacious (see photos).
The open spaces above are only feasible with a gable roof in those cases.
We have already visited Viebrockhaus and obtained a quote, which we want to compare with offers from other companies.
