Hello everyone,
we are planning to submit a building permit / planning permission application soon. It concerns an extension and renovation of a detached single-family house. Both options are permitted according to the development plan. The shed roof will cause additional costs of about 4000 EUR. The pitch of the gable roof could still be increased to 32 degrees.
Which roof style would you prefer? Is it purely a matter of taste, or are there also quality or other factors to consider?
We are also unsure about the cladding. In general, we are considering white bush-hammered with anthracite windows, and blue-brown “lilac” with white windows. Do you think white bush-hammered doesn’t suit a modern form like the shed roof? Is white bush-hammered more sensitive than a darker, smoother stone?
I am interested in both your personal preferences and objective reasons for one or the other option in combination with the respective colors.

Shed roofs are also not really my preference; however, with skylights, I usually find the interior of these houses quite successful, or at least a skilled architect can create something attractive from them.
In other words: if a shed roof is chosen, then only with skylights, in my opinion.

To be honest, I find both equally poor; the loggia planned off-center doesn’t do either design any favors! If the loggia (not the balcony railing) were flush with the outer edge of the window frame on the left side (standing inside the house, this would be on the right), both roof variants would look good.

here are the views again. Does the shed roof maybe look too busy because the loggia is not centered?
