Here, I am quoting a question of mine from another thread that may have been somewhat overlooked:

What costs more – a pitched roof with a traditional roof frame (not a truss roof) and tiles, or a flat roof that is also developed into a terrace?

I don’t need a detailed breakdown right now (which wouldn’t be possible without basic information) – I’m interested in a general trend to consider for future planning.

Thank you for your answers.

And why is that an argument for a flat roof? Two full floors and on top either a pitched roof with additional storage space or potential for an extension (or an immediate extension) or option b) would be two full floors with a flat roof, finished. The eaves height is roughly the same for both options.

If the local development plan allows it, this is of course a very good solution. However, it wasn’t the first option I considered, since you don’t often see it (at least I haven’t noticed it much).

What I usually come across looks like this:

For example, I took a closer look at the house in Köln-Brück priced at 995,000 € (the website does not allow direct linking). One of several deal breakers was that there is no second full storey, and the entire first floor has sloping ceilings, which greatly limits furniture placement and so on...

The Waldsee house by Gussek Haus is an example of a design with two full floors and an attic that can be effectively used as additional space.
