Sitting and drawing a small addition to our one-story townhouse. Planning to enclose an atrium yard in the middle of the house. So it will be like a low Attefall house in the middle of my roof. Around the entire addition, there will be 50 cm high windows.
I'm considering not having an overhanging roof on the addition. Instead, having a sheet metal that folds over and then comes the facade. see image1 and 2
What I'm wondering is a good solution. If there are any risks with building this way.
How to achieve the construction. Anyone with any experience in this?

When there was a housing exhibition in Hammarby Sjöstad over 10 years ago, guided tours were organized with leaders who had been involved in the project, and I attended one with a project manager from one of the public housing companies. She explained that the architects wanted their buildings to be constructed without eaves, i.e., in a modern way like most of the buildings were built, but that they refused because they would have the maintenance responsibility and didn't want to face increased maintenance costs later due to larger facade problems. This was, of course, something that the construction companies selling to tenant-owner associations completely ignored, and therefore the public housing buildings were the only ones in the area with eaves.
