ᐅ Looking for a knowledgeable and innovative architect in the Ruhr area

Hello,
I hope you can help us. So far, we have consulted four architects and are not really satisfied. We have a plot where, despite the requirement for a single-story building with a gable roof in the development plan, we want to build with as little roof slope as possible or at least with a very high knee wall. A setback floor would also be possible, but we don’t like that option as much.

On one hand, the proposed knee wall height varies among the architects from 75 cm (30 inches)—which is too low—to 140 cm (55 inches)—which we find acceptable—and on the other hand, we are not happy with the house’s appearance or the floor plans.

We have a company we would like to work with, but the design is not convincing, so we are looking for an architect who is willing to take on our problem for a fee and who can think beyond the standard cookie-cutter layout.

Thank you very much in advance!

No dormers, rather a long rectangular house, with a slightly extended living room (the lowered roof forms a canopy in the narrower section) – I have posted plans here several times before. Currently on the move.

I tried to find them but failed. However, it is not urgent!

Attached are our floor plans again and a photo of a sloped ceiling:

What I like most is the "Mediterranean" and "Bochum" styles.

What does your zoning plan say about the eaves height?

This also plays a role in determining the possible knee wall height.

Thanks, Behaelja!
The development plan doesn’t really say much, kbt, but tomorrow we’ll be questioning the authorities, so hopefully we’ll know more then.

But does no one know an architect locally???
