Hello everyone,
We are currently at the stage in our planning where we have submitted the building notification. The city now states that the terrace roof, being a separate structural element, cannot be included in the calculation of the number of floors. Inclusion is only possible if the roof is clearly part of the house structure, for example, a shed roof or extended ceiling slabs.
Since the building regulations do not allow for two full stories, we wanted to reach that value using this terrace.
Now, my question: Are there any additional options beyond the two mentioned above that would allow this to count toward the living area?
Attached are the floor plan of the ground floor and rear and side elevations.
Regards,
KonstantinW

Original idea! Don’t you have an architect?
Regarding your question about the number of floors and possibilities, the upper floor is missing; sections and/or elevations aren’t really necessary.
Otherwise, just try reducing the knee wall height. We do have an architect, who said that so far the terraces from the other towns have always been accepted.

What do you mean by "kniestock"? I'm not very familiar with the terminology :/ Kniestock. It is a construction element used to distinguish between a single-story and a two-story design.
In this case, it is conditionally feasible. The showers would need to be slightly repositioned.
(In the master bedroom area, it would be worth reconsidering the flow of the morning routine and the access between the sleeping area, dressing room, and bathroom. Since you don’t want to discuss the floor plan, I won’t go into that further.)

KonstantinW7 Dec 2020 12:48Our roof pitch is limited to a maximum of 15° (degrees). We also do not want sloped ceilings. That’s why we needed the solution with the terrace.
You could possibly build it as a setback floor. However, this would result in a loss of usable area at the top. Alternatively, you could extend the concrete slab slightly to serve as a potential roof cover. But keep in mind: in our building area, a homeowner pushed the property boundaries quite far and somehow got away with it. The result is a house that simply doesn’t fit the overall look of the neighborhood, which has upset everyone who followed the regulations.

You could possibly add it as a stepped floor. But then you would lose some area at the top. Hmm.. no. But thanks for the suggestion anyway, we still think it wouldn’t look right with a stepped floor.

According to the city’s information, it must clearly be a part of the building in order for the number of floors to be counted.
I wanted to get your opinion on this before we contact the architect and then submit the building application again..
