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

No, that’s how you interpreted my post #13 – at least towards me – not Yvonne’s suggestion about the shortened knee wall. I was referring to lower rooms if you exclude sloped ceilings altogether. Okay, then I must have mixed that up.
But there isn’t much difference anyway… either sloped ceilings or low ceilings… neither is really what we want.

Ceiling height of 220cm (87 inches) in the dressing room, bathrooms, and hallway – be careful, this applies to the entire floor structure; simply installing a dropped ceiling is not enough! – and it wasn’t a problem at all. This way, you can at least crawl reasonably comfortably around the (unmarked!) hatch to the attic. I would even consider possibly leaving the dressing room without a ceiling and lighting it with a roof window. But the suggestion of a partially removed conservatory could also be explored.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Kids with attitude get a reality check.
I would have checked the zoning plan / building permit beforehand if something is so important that you’re not willing to compromise. Or did the architect say it wasn’t a problem?
Just build 50sqm (540 sq ft) larger on the ground floor 😀

But since the bungalow didn’t fit on the plot for us, we went for two stories instead. Because our acquaintance got approval for the terrace, we felt confident. The architect also said it wasn’t a problem.

Unless you want to rent that 50 sqm (540 sqft) room 😉 😀

We had that suggestion as well, but the house is already big enough. She had only proposed an extension on the lower level – not overall. Moving the master suite downstairs should be sufficient redistribution.

Well, I’m curious to see what solutions the architect will come up with.
I find the whole situation a bit strange.
In an area clearly planned for bungalows without usable upper floors (roof pitch 15° (27°)), someone wants to build a perfect two-story house and then cover it up with a terrace.
I’d sooner expect a miracle than for this plan to ever get approved.
What about the permitted eave and ridge heights?
