ᐅ Garage Built on the Property Boundary – Ideas

We are planning a double garage next to our house. It will be a boundary wall construction. The neighbor’s garage has a pitched roof. According to the development plan, we are also required to build a pitched roof. The garage will be built directly next to the house with the same roof orientation. We need the windows on this side of the house on the second floor. We have now considered having the side facing the neighbor with a pitched roof and the side facing the house as a roof terrace. I have read somewhere that this might not be that simple. Is that true? Do you have any ideas on how else we could build it?

Thank you for your help.

A rooftop terrace on a privileged boundary garage is generally not permitted.
The details are explained by the architect you trust.

Especially when the roof shape is already predetermined.
What kind of natural light do you expect when looking at a gable roof from a 3m (10 feet) roof terrace?

I believe this is not a productive idea.

Hmm, we’re starting to run out of viable solutions ;( The problem is also that the construction company we’re working with offers an all-inclusive package, so they don’t dedicate much time to the architectural planning. Our meeting with the architects is only scheduled for when the property is being marked out; so far, everything has been handled by the building consultant.

Do you have any alternative ideas?

Would an attached garage built on the property boundary with a flat roof be easier to get approved as an exception to the zoning regulations than one with a pitched roof and roof terrace?

Instead of relying on exceptions, I would start by adjusting the floor plan to fit the property and the applicable building permit / planning permission.

I agree with Alex85 .. and maybe start moving away from a double garage, possibly opting for a single garage and then just a carport roof connecting the house and the garage.
