Hello,
I am interested in your opinions or thoughts about knee wall height. We technically wouldn't need one and could build two full stories, but from an exterior design perspective, I find a certain knee wall height more aesthetically pleasing. The question is how high it should be so that it doesn’t significantly reduce usable space. For example, I was thinking of a height that would still allow placing a desk or a bathtub underneath.
Another aspect is that, unlike a full story, knee walls typically require skylights or roof windows. Is this significantly more expensive, or does it roughly balance out since a knee wall uses less material compared to two full stories?
Thank you for your thoughts.

Somehow, you then find out that the municipality no longer has any issues with the positioning of the house.
However, I’m not very enthusiastic about your idea of placing the driveway at the bottom left and the house at the top right.

For us, a maximum of 1 m (3.3 ft) was permitted. That is quite manageable, DN 45 degrees.In combination, I already find that borderline excessive – what is the ridge height (actual and maximum) in that case?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

I can’t give you a quick answer on that. It wasn’t required. With a 1 meter (3.3 feet) knee wall and 10 meters (33 feet) width, you can calculate it.5 meters (16.4 feet) plus 1 meter (3.3 feet) knee wall? That would result in a nice attic space 🙂Similar topics
