Hello everyone,
we are planning to submit a building permit / planning permission application soon. It concerns an extension and renovation of a detached single-family house. Both options are permitted according to the development plan. The shed roof will cause additional costs of about 4000 EUR. The pitch of the gable roof could still be increased to 32 degrees.
Which roof style would you prefer? Is it purely a matter of taste, or are there also quality or other factors to consider?
We are also unsure about the cladding. In general, we are considering white bush-hammered with anthracite windows, and blue-brown “lilac” with white windows. Do you think white bush-hammered doesn’t suit a modern form like the shed roof? Is white bush-hammered more sensitive than a darker, smoother stone?
I am interested in both your personal preferences and objective reasons for one or the other option in combination with the respective colors.

I prefer the gable roof here. It somehow looks more harmonious.
Also, it’s worth considering that a gable roof is timeless, while a shed roof is modern now but might be considered unattractive again in 20 years.If you look closely at older residential areas, you’ll notice that shed roofs, for example, were already built quite frequently in the 1970s, and many architect-designed houses from recent generations feature a shed roof variant.
It’s definitely something special and not exactly the most economical construction method. It’s also often found in houses that aren’t particularly family-friendly. I wouldn’t call it ugly — rather, most people just don’t identify with these houses because windows are simply not installed there, so you can’t look out from that height and often end up with a storage room instead of an open space above.
