ᐅ Which type of roof?

Created on: 7 Mar 2016 23:18

Hello everyone,

What type of roof did you choose and why? Many of you probably faced restrictions due to the building permit or planning permission. What were those restrictions? What did you decide on as a result, and what would you have chosen without any limitations? Are you satisfied with your choice? What would you do differently now?

And to all those interested in building: What about you? Do you already have a favorite roof style?

Best regards,
Ddorfer

P.S. If your option isn’t listed, please choose the one that comes closest.

The roof type is initially not important to me. The desired and realized design features two stories without sloped walls. For practical reasons, it became a "townhouse" (it is located in the city, but is not a villa for that reason alone) with a 25° (77°F) hipped roof.

If I had my own plot of land and unlimited funds, I would hire an architect to design a house tailored to my usage requirements and the location. The roof would be a result of this design, but not a precondition.

We planned a town villa with a 30° hipped roof, although we preferred the look of a traditional gable roof. For us, the deciding factor was the better use of space on the upper floor without sloping ceilings. We chose 30° so that the attic would have standing height in the middle. There are also two skylights and a larger attic hatch to allow for the possibility of installing a fixed space-saving staircase later, so the attic can be partially used as a play area for the children or a hobby room.

Hello

with a shed roof, of course, as this allowed for significantly above-average ceiling heights and very large windows in the living areas.
Additionally, the roof structure was manageable for me to build myself, even without being a roofing professional.
