On: Ask HN: Where to find open-source house plans?

Now I'm interested, why would someone in

waste all that space on the recessed entrance instead of just making straight wall to the roof ?

It provides shadow and protection from rain above the entrance. It's a pretty common design.

Okay but why not separate small roof over entrance? This design is making wall more complex (now whole roof overhangs over entrance) for not all that much gain.

Well it's sometimes forbidden to have multiple roof sections, I don't know about Hungary but it might be often the case there.

And it looks very different, I wouldn't do it at least.

- it looks nice and is a popular style right

- there might be distance requirements between the building and the lot boundary which would prevent a roof from sticking out
