Hello,
we are currently planning to build a single-family house with two full stories. Wall heights up to 6 meters (20 feet) and a ridge height up to 9 meters (30 feet) are allowed according to the development plan. On the ground floor, we want a ceiling height of 2.7–3 meters (9–10 feet), and upstairs approximately 2–2.5 meters (6.5–8 feet).
We are still considering whether to have a ceiling on the upper floor or not (open roof truss, 25° gable roof, allowing for very high interior spaces).
The open roof truss will probably cost about €15,000–20,000 more but offers spacious rooms, natural light through electric roof windows, and possibly the option to add a gallery later. With a ceiling, spotlights are easier to install, it costs less, and the roof truss could be used as additional storage (since there is no basement, but plenty of storage/living space, garage, garden shed, etc.), although it would probably just become a dumping area...
What do you think? Which option makes more sense?

The photo shows a maximum ceiling height of 3.5 m (11.5 ft).

Sorry for the link, it can be deleted if needed, it’s just a Pinterest image.
On the upper floor, of course, we don’t have just one room but two children’s rooms, an office, a children’s bathroom, and a master bedroom with dressing area and bathroom.
If we built it open-plan, we would probably have a ceiling height of about 3.5–4 m (11.5–13 feet) in the middle upstairs. We don’t have to use the full 9 m (30 feet) height, which would probably be around 5 m (16.5 feet) at the top.
