I need some help. Maybe someone has faced the same problem and has an answer. I would appreciate any advice.
My wife and I are planning to build a house with a gable roof. (The local development plan requires a single-story building.) We have a footprint of 12.35m (where the gable is centered) by 9.10m. Additionally, we plan to build a bay window that is 3.9m wide. This bay window will be two stories and will extend 1.25m from the long side. Inside, there is supposed to be a gallery.
The knee wall (dwarf wall) of the house should be 87cm (34 inches) on the outside and 99cm (39 inches) on the inside.
(It cannot be larger because the eaves height is limited to a maximum of 4.5m (15 feet) in the development plan.) The roof pitch should be at least 45°, preferably steeper. The development plan allows a maximum pitch of up to 50°.
Now to my question: With these conditions, are we still within the definition of single-story? (Statements from various building experts differ greatly regarding the gallery air space. Some say the air space does not count, others say it does count fully.) We might then be violating the 2/3 or 3/4 rule. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with this.
Also, how steep could the roof be to remain classified as single-story? (There seems to be a cavity space regulation related to the attic.)
The location is in Lower Saxony.
I hope my issue is understandable.
Best regards,
Dennis

Hello, I agree with E.Curb for now. It’s not possible to give an assessment without seeing floor plans and sections. It’s best to simply post or send elevations and floor plans, then it’s easier to provide feedback.
How do you plan to build the house? On your own without a developer, or with an architect (who will know everything), or with a prefabricated house manufacturer (who also knows everything)?
