ᐅ What is the typical pitch angle for a pyramid roof? Do you know of any websites with information?

The development plan for our plot allows a pitched roof with a slope between 22° and 45°. Do you know of any websites where I can visually explore what different roof pitches look like, or do you have experience or impressions regarding the appearance? I am particularly interested in an aesthetically pleasing effect.

The exterior dimensions of the currently favored two-story house are 9.40 m x 9.40 m (31 ft x 31 ft). Unfortunately, I do not yet know the height of the house.

SketchUp. With this, you can visualize anything you want.

We have a 9.615 x 9.615 m (31.5 x 31.5 ft) structure with a hip roof and a 22° pitch. There is also a small connecting section to the garage. I can send you a photo of the shell construction this evening.

You’ve already mentioned the most important part (at least half of it), which is that it will be two stories—I assume something like a townhouse. The other half is the viewing distance. I answered your question over two years ago here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/Walmdach-ideale-Neigung.25192/page-4#post-219240. By the way, the path from @R.Hotzenplotz to the disaster house was also paved with numerous questions about individual aspects. Your other two main competitors for the crown for many individual topic threads are (if I exclude those with secret overall projects) @chrisw81 (his house is “just” a mess, but not a “disaster”) and @blaupuma (his house, in my opinion, was built with relatively few complications, though not really to my taste). What I mainly want to say is: obsessing over dozens of tiny details unfortunately doesn’t reliably lead to a better-planned house.

Set the angle anywhere between 28° and 30°, as this is the optimal tilt for photovoltaic output.
