Roof type

Modern prefabricated houses with a mono-pitch roof

The mono-pitch roof (Pultdach) consists of a single sloped surface and combines a modern look with practical advantages for daylight and solar use. Here you will find designs with this striking roof shape.

The mono-pitch roof has only one sloped roof surface and one high and one low building edge. This asymmetrical shape gives the house a modern, dynamic silhouette and creates a tall wall on the upper floor for large window areas. This lets a lot of daylight into the house, while the sloped surface is ideal for a south-facing photovoltaic system.

In our selection, mono-pitch roof houses from various manufacturers in timber and solid construction are available, from the compact single's house to the family-friendly floor plan. Whether as a turnkey house or as a shell house with your own labour - the mono-pitch roof suits many modern designs. All prices are the manufacturers' non-binding starting prices; the catalogue is being continuously supplemented.

The benefits of the single-sided sloped roof surface

Because the mono-pitch roof consists of only one sloped surface, a generous wall area forms on the high side. This can be opened with floor-to-ceiling windows or a glass front, making the upper floor especially bright and open. The mono-pitch roof thus combines modern aesthetics with noticeable living comfort on the upper floor.

The slope of the surface also pays off in energy generation: a south-facing mono-pitch roof surface offers an ideal basis for photovoltaics and solar thermal energy. Unlike a flat roof, the modules do not need to be mounted on stands - the roof pitch itself provides a good sun angle and easy self-cleaning through rain.

Which houses the mono-pitch roof suits

The mono-pitch roof suits modern, clearly structured building bodies excellently and is used both on compact town houses and on spacious family homes. On smaller designs the single-sided slope emphasises the slim shape; on two-storey houses it creates a striking facade towards the main view.

As a combination of two mono-pitch roofs offset against each other, the shape is popular too - the staggered mono-pitch roof gains additional space and an interesting silhouette. Before planning, check the development plan of your plot, as some areas set requirements for roof shape and pitch.

Frequently asked questions: Modern prefabricated houses with a mono-pitch roof

What is the difference between a mono-pitch roof and a gable roof?
A gable roof has two surfaces sloped against each other and a ridge in the middle, whereas a mono-pitch roof has only a single sloped surface. So with the mono-pitch roof one high and one low building side forms. The shape looks more modern and creates a large wall area for windows, while the gable roof is more classic and symmetrical.
Is a mono-pitch roof suitable for photovoltaics?
Yes, very much so. A south-facing mono-pitch roof surface offers an ideal angle for solar modules, which can be mounted directly on the surface without stands. That lowers the installation costs and provides a good yield. The mono-pitch roof is thus an attractive choice for an energy-efficient home.
Do I have usable living space under a mono-pitch roof?
Yes. Thanks to the single-sided slope, full room height forms on the high side, and the ceiling drops only towards the low side. The living space under the mono-pitch roof is therefore well usable and looks especially bright thanks to the tall window wall. How it feels specifically depends on the pitch and the knee wall height.
Is a mono-pitch roof allowed in every building area?
That depends on the respective development plan. Many areas allow the modern mono-pitch roof, others prescribe classic shapes such as the gable roof. Before planning, check the requirements for roof shape, pitch and ridge orientation. Where the mono-pitch roof is permitted, it offers a lot of design freedom.
