In addition to the client’s own residence, which has a living area of 290 m², the house contains a 35 m² self-contained flat. Situated in a new development area in the Mittlerer Schurwald nature reserve, the structure is surrounded by buildings with traditional double-pitched roofs. One of the constraints imposed by the local authority development plan was that the present house should have the same kind of roof as its neighbours, with a pitch of between 20° and 35° and a red clay-tile covering.
