Roof type
Prefabricated houses with a half-hipped roof
The half-hipped roof (Krueppelwalmdach) combines the gable of the gable roof with a chamfered roof peak, giving it a particularly homely feel. Here you will find designs with this tradition-rich roof shape.
The half-hipped roof is a hybrid of the gable and hipped roof: the gable side remains partly vertical, while the upper part of the gable is hipped, i.e. cut at an angle. This shape combines the usable gable space of the gable roof with the better weather and wind protection of the hipped roof. Visually the house thus looks grounded, harmonious and slightly rural.
In our selection, houses with a half-hipped roof from various manufacturers in timber and solid construction are available - from the classic country-house interpretation to the contemporary family home. Whether turnkey or as a shell house: the shape suits building owners who want to combine traditional charm with a robust structure. All prices are non-binding starting prices; the offering is being continuously expanded.

Gable roof and hipped roof in one shape
The half-hipped roof cuts off only the upper part of the gable side, instead of sloping it completely as with a full hip. This preserves a well-usable space under the roof - similar to the gable roof - while the chamfered peak protects the house from wind and weather. This combination makes the roof shape sought-after in many regions.
Visually, the hipped gable gives the house a soft, harmonious silhouette that suits country houses and houses in a traditional style particularly well. At the same time the half-hipped roof blends into building areas where pure gable roofs are considered too plain or full hipped roofs too low.
Which building owners the half-hipped roof suits
The half-hipped roof suits everyone who values the charm of a country house but does not want to forgo a convertible attic. Thanks to the preserved gable part, the attic remains usable as a fully valid living level, while the hipping ensures a homely, grounded overall impression.
Because the structure is somewhat more elaborate than a pure gable roof, you should coordinate the development plan and the desired roof pitch with the manufacturer early. In many rural building areas the half-hipped roof is expressly desired or even prescribed.
