Hello!
We are planning a single-family house on a nice plot of land.
The basic requirements for the house on the plot are:
- Maximum one-story construction
- Gable roof with a 30-degree pitch
- Allowed eaves height 5 m (16 feet)
- Allowed ridge height 9 m (30 feet)
How high is / can / must my knee wall be?

Roughly sketch the cross-section as Doc-Dirk described to you. Then mark the points where the height starts to reach 2.30 meters (7.5 feet). The width between these points must not exceed three-quarters of your lower floor area. For example, if your house has a 10-meter (33 feet) wide living area, then the width in the attic floor must be less than 7.5 meters (25 feet).
Ultimately, this is just an approximate estimate, since you do not yet know the thickness of your ceiling and the rafters of the roof, and you have a maximum height of 9 meters (30 feet). The exact dimensions will only be determined through a drawing from the architect.
