Hello everyone,
A quick rough assessment from your side:
To potentially save costs, is it worth switching from a townhouse (hip roof or pyramid roof) with 2 full stories to a gable roof house?
- What kind of savings can one roughly expect, for example with the same or a similar floor plan?
- 145 - 155 m² (1561 - 1668 sq ft) of living space with a basement
We are currently considering whether we can make even larger savings in our planning.

This is just as incorrect as assuming that all two-story houses with a hip or pyramid roof qualify as urban villas, even though this is often suggested—especially by the builders/owners/residents themselves. In any case, I do not refer to my home as an urban villa, even though the criteria mentioned above are met.

Not at all, even though that is often interpreted that way today.Can a townhouse also be located in a village? Can a townhouse also have multiple dwelling units/households?

- What rough savings can be expected with, for example, the same or similar floor plan? That would not be cheaper at all, but certainly more expensive—at least with the same utility. On two full stories, you can add a storage attic, whereas with a sloped upper floor, also called an attic floor, you’ll want living spaces in the roof area, which means rafters instead of trusses. For the same usable floor area, you then need more floor space. The townhouse has façades with windows all around, while a pitched roof would incur additional costs for roof windows or dormers or return roofs. You could save somewhat (and not in all cases) by combining a townhouse style with a gable or shed roof. However, I only recommend this if the aspect ratio is 5:4 or higher; otherwise, on a square floor plan, the eaves side looks shorter and thus almost “rotated 90° relative to the house axis.” By the way, we discussed this topic earlier this week here: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/efh-für-4-Personen-Meinungen.34437/page-23#post-400703
