In a neighboring village, there is a new building with such spotted roof tiles, supposedly Mediterranean style, but it just looks visually disturbing – that was the first time I missed having guidelines...), the facade color, the roof pitch, and so on.
SOO BOORING!!!! That’s a matter of taste. Everyone has different preferences, maybe even the “cookie-cutter” style. Exactly that visually disturbing factor is what you are looking for: individuality without outside influence. For someone else, your house would be the visually disturbing factor.
I understand what you mean, but it is still a subjective judgment.

Do you really think they were built according to a development plan / building permit? No, everyone just built whatever they fancied. You are mistaken there. Although it might have been called differently back then, people did coordinate when building houses, even in ancient times. Building was actually very conservative – proven designs were maintained and copied. This tradition runs through the entire culture, from the Middle Ages, small and large towns, right up to today. There were always some rules or conventions, which might not have been written down but were immediately enacted.
The desire for individualism, fashion, special features, and standing out came much later. The awareness of alternative options began with travel opportunities, followed by TV and the internet, globalization added to the wish for something unique.
I would be curious to know if anyone here who wants to build a Bauhaus-style house has studied the style and its history. Has anyone even been inside such a house and understands the principles that define Bauhaus architecture?

Wait a moment – did I miss something? Why is this suddenly about a bungalow and two children? Wasn’t this a different thread? I’m confused. Looks like @Climbee posted in the wrong thread 😉 it happens, she’s on a roll right now 😀

In a nearby town in Baden-Württemberg, a homeowner had to replace their roof because they had installed light red marbled tiles to create a Mediterranean flair; they were told this was within the allowed limits...

I understand what you mean, but it’s still a form of judgment. Exactly, I find them eyesore-inducing, but I’d rather put up with that than the standard look—and what else is there to mock anyway? :p

You’re mistaken. Although they probably called it something different back then, even in antiquity people coordinated when building houses. The style was actually quite stagnant—they kept and reused proven forms. This continued through the entire culture, beyond the Middle Ages, in small and large towns up to today. There were always certain rules, which didn’t always have to be written down, that guided construction right from the start.
The desire for individualism, fashion, uniqueness, and standing out came much later. No, that was due to money. I live near a town with an almost completely preserved medieval city center. It’s clearly visible which house was built when. The oldest tower dates back to the 14th century and is distinctly different from newer houses that mostly appeared during the Baroque period:
Those who could afford it decorated their houses conspicuously and elegantly: for example, Dominikus Zimmerman, the builder of the Wies Church and a resident and sometimes mayor of this town, treated himself to what must have been a very extravagant little roof on his home (unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of that at the moment).
Two homeowners had to build side by side, despite not getting along well—their disagreement is reflected in two opposing gables. Quite crazy and definitely not according to any official pattern:
(Unfortunately, I couldn’t quickly find a better picture of these two houses—the yellow and the blue one.)
Imagine if two semi-detached house builders did that today!
People who could afford it showed off. Because the town grew wealthy from salt trading, they could afford a fancy town hall:
Stylistically, it doesn’t quite fit in perfectly here, but it was affordable, and when the master builder was also the mayor—that was convenient! Today, that would be considered a conflict of interest.
But overall, it makes for a very picturesque scene.
The parish church was started in the Romanesque period (first mentioned in 1219), later expanded into a three-aisled Romanesque building, completed in the 15th century, and later—without any fuss—baroqued! I wonder which building permit or planning permission would have allowed that?
I don’t want to debate written history about antiquity here, as we are both correct. I am more referring to the similarity in size as well as the style. It is true that renovations are later added in building gaps.
You’re not reinventing the wheel; in the past, apartment buildings (and others) were constructed differently simply because of the toilet installations compared to today. But essentially, people built their houses to fit in with their neighbors.
