Hello,
we have seen in some model homes children's rooms without a ceiling, open up to the roof. There was usually a staircase leading to a kind of mezzanine where a bed was often placed. Do you know what costs are involved in building a children's room with an open ceiling? Our daughter really likes that idea, but we think it must be quite expensive. Does anyone here have a room like that?
Regards

This topic is also interesting to me. Does anyone here perhaps have more pictures? Unfortunately, not much comes up in the Google search.We’re not finished yet, but maybe these photos help give an idea (2x shell construction, 1x base plaster...)?
We’ll be installing drywall panels as the ceiling underneath the insulation... Most of the beams will remain visible. We don’t have any roof windows.
Hello, we had a similar idea.
One floor plan concept places the hallway quite centrally under the ridge of the roof. We are building with a basement and don’t need storage space in the attic. So the idea was to extend the children’s rooms into the hallway.
That is, to raise the rooms up to the ridge while passing through the hallway.
What has generally been your experience with this?

@flooene: For what purpose? A sleeping nook? I personally think it’s great (though I have no experience), but you should be aware that it probably only works once the children are a bit older.
In our case, it wouldn’t have been possible because the wall to the hallway is located directly under the ridge beam and is therefore load-bearing along the entire length of the house.

Yes, basically a sleeping loft or a built-in high bed.
We currently have a solid loft bed in our apartment, which gave us the idea. During the early planning stage, we also considered having an open roof up to the ridge. Right now, we have a ceiling height of 3.5 m (11.5 ft), which we would definitely miss in our own home.
The planning is still in its early stages, so the roof structure could be supported differently than with a stud frame. The question is always whether the extra effort is worth it. That’s why I’m asking the forum for their experience.
