Hello everyone,
I am currently planning a semi-detached house. The eaves height is fixed at 4 meters (13 feet). The building may be a maximum of 8.5 meters (28 feet) tall. The ridge direction is set (east/west). In our new development area, I saw a house that significantly exceeds the eaves height. In the attached file, this is house 1. House 2 has the usual orientation, with the main entrance doors facing the street to the north. However, house 2 has its doors on the west side. Can someone explain what this is about? Each house has its own individual roof. That is probably the reason. The other houses have a continuous roof. The knee wall of house 2 is about 60 cm (24 inches), while house 1’s is about 1.6 meters (5 feet 3 inches). Does anyone with architectural knowledge know the answer to this? I would appreciate your help.

No, my impression is rather that the building planned by the original poster exceeds the permitted eaves height according to the plan, and now they are trying to use the "equal wrong for all" loophole.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

If I had known that only half-knowledge was floating around here, I would never have asked this question. It’s really something when people just assume things that don’t have to be that way at all. I would also call your situation "half-informed."
