Hello dear forum,
I have been following along for a while and today decided to register because I’m not really sure how to proceed.
We are currently building a new house and are working on the terrace. We want to build it over our garage, which is planned to have a flat roof. The interior build-up height is 14cm (5.5 inches), and the balcony door is threshold-free, so the exterior build-up height is also 14cm (5.5 inches).
At the moment, the concrete slab has no slope. The plan was actually to have a sloped screed extending over 7m (23 feet).
The architect recommends a 0-degree roof, which makes us somewhat uneasy, so we are now considering the sloped screed again.
A 40mm (1.6 inches) XPS insulation board is planned to be used, with a fleece-backed membrane installed on top, which brings the build-up to 43mm (1.7 inches) and is already in place.
Everything else is still open. Any ideas on this?
We are quite flexible regarding the surface covering.

Thank you very much for the replies. Unfortunately, the sloped insulation with a 2-degree slope is no longer an option.
Do you have any ideas for a surface covering? We have already considered a 1-degree slope in the screed, so that we would at least have some slope and then apply a relatively thin build-up on top. The covering would then have 7cm (2.8 inches) - 4.3cm (1.7 inches) -> 2.7cm (1.1 inches) left.
The cistern is a good idea, thanks! However, the sloped insulation would be preferable in terms of build-up thickness compared to doing it with the screed.
Or do you actually not need any insulation? Then the screed is naturally preferable, at least from a cost perspective.
And to repeat once more, if you really have 7m (23 feet) of slope from the door at 2%, there is absolutely no space left for a floor covering.
You could also create a counter-slope so that water is directed to a drain in the center of the roof (which would have an impact on the room below), or to a channel that leads to a drainage point.
A 0% slope is sufficient, as your architect already says. However, the roof must be executed accordingly.
You shouldn’t negotiate this further; no one will make this decision for you. It is your responsibility as the building owner.
