Hello everyone,
I am currently planning a semi-detached house. The eaves height is fixed at 4 meters (13 feet). The building may be a maximum of 8.5 meters (28 feet) tall. The ridge direction is set (east/west). In our new development area, I saw a house that significantly exceeds the eaves height. In the attached file, this is house 1. House 2 has the usual orientation, with the main entrance doors facing the street to the north. However, house 2 has its doors on the west side. Can someone explain what this is about? Each house has its own individual roof. That is probably the reason. The other houses have a continuous roof. The knee wall of house 2 is about 60 cm (24 inches), while house 1’s is about 1.6 meters (5 feet 3 inches). Does anyone with architectural knowledge know the answer to this? I would appreciate your help.

Or is the solution simply that the builder constructed the house lower than the street level? If the house is built 60cm (24 inches) lower than the street level, wouldn’t that make sense?You tell us—you seem to be familiar with the development and the houses you are referring to. We are not.

You really need to check it yourself. Lay your head down at street level and sight along the road surface toward the door. If you see the door handle instead of the bottom edge of the door, then the house is indeed lower.
But I don’t think that’s the case. Minor deviations from the development plan are usually permissible as long as, for example, setback distances to neighboring properties are maintained and all other essential requirements (such as ridge height) are met.

I was expecting constructive answers. There is supposed to be a causal connection with constructive information. You ask something but describe it in a way that contradicts your drawing. It may be clear to you what you mean, but we cannot read your mind (and without knowing which one it is, we also cannot see your site plan). If by chance you can still make use of one of the answers, that is not bad intention on the part of the responders, but rather a now quite common phenomenon: expressing yourself unclearly yet still feeling understood by some answers is applied "Infinite Monkey."
