Key legal question
Whether the project's upper floor qualified as attic space under municipal building rules.
Extracted holding
The upper storey was not attic space within the meaning of the municipal rules because the embouchure wall exceeded one meter and the volume was not fully inscribed in the roof structure.
Extracted reasoning
In the absence of a municipal definition, reliance on settled cantonal case law was not arbitrary. That case law limits attic space to spaces wholly under the roof with low embouchure walls, preventing a near-ordinary full floor.
