Hello forum,
I have a question regarding the longitudinal axis of a house. How is the longitudinal axis defined in a square house with a hip roof? A hip roof doesn’t have a ridge, so how are the axes determined? I have attached two sample floor plans. Who is familiar with this?
I am considering a plot of land but need to pay attention to an east-west orientation of the main building’s longitudinal axis. However, for this plot, a garden facing west would be ideal.

Grundriss: offener Wohn-/Essbereich, Küche, Diele, WC, HWR und Treppen.

Please copy and paste the exact wording or the zoning plan regarding this matter here. What you want or what the plot allows, for example your personal ideas, does not matter – the zoning plan always takes precedence, if one exists.

A hip roof can be modified accordingly (by adjusting the roof pitch so that a ridge of about half a meter (1.5 feet) is created to satisfy the "Sesselpupser"). Sometimes, a requirement for a house axis is also linked to the text part of the zoning plan, where for example it states that the floor plan must have an aspect ratio that differs from at least 5:4.
