ᐅ Is a bungalow with a 40-degree roof pitch still attractive?

Hello,

we are still at the beginning of the planning process.
Unfortunately, we have a rather narrow lot, so there is only 10 m (33 feet) available in width for the house.
Additionally, the attic is to be converted into living space for the children.
We have now received the first design, where the roof unfortunately has a pitch of 40 degrees in order to provide enough space in the attic.

Question: Does anyone else have a bungalow with a 40-degree hipped roof and could possibly send Emir a photo?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

A place where you can see this relatively often is with thatched roofs.

More likely a half-hipped roof. But that also has nothing to do with bungalows.

One is what you prefer, the other is what you need.
Surely not everything that isn’t a "bungalow" looks unattractive to you.

It’s simply not a bungalow if you have living spaces upstairs. Then it’s a normal one-story single-family house with an attic.

Just google thatched roof. You’ll definitely find some half-hipped roofs there. In some cases, the gable side is extended downwards. While it may not look like a bungalow then, it probably is one (for example, the second image on Wikipedia under thatched roof). Unless the size of the upper floor is so large that it counts as a full story again.

Well, let’s just call it bungalow-style then...
But by the way, that comment doesn’t really contribute much to my question!
