...please don’t be too hard on me for my question!
We are considering building a house in a bungalow style with a finished attic, where the upper floor would only have rooms for the children, and all the living spaces for us would be on the ground floor.
I personally also like city villas with a recessed upper floor and have seen that they often feature a conservatory, garage, etc., with a hipped roof.
I’m wondering how it would look if the roof were extended at the back from the level where the second floor begins, meaning the house would look like a typical recessed upper floor from the front, but from the side it would appear as if there is a bungalow with a hipped roof added at the back.
I hope you understand what I mean?! I would appreciate any pictures....

However, the term
fits quite well, since the roof pitches of the individual sections need to be different, or else it becomes a huge house either in footprint or in height.

I’m imagining it roughly like this … If you want to impress me even more, try drawing it from above as well

This way, the front keeps the "two-story" character, while the back retains the bungalow-style rear view. At least, that’s how I understand the original poster’s request.
