Hello everyone.

Has anyone here by chance built a combination of an upper floor as a full storey plus a gable roof (ideally with a 22°-25° roof pitch) but without an attic, so that the upper floor is basically open upwards?
It would be great if someone could share a few photos. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much through a Google search.
Can you say something about the effect and appearance? How does it feel when all the rooms have the full ceiling made up only of the sloping roof, even with sufficient height – does it still feel confining?

Thanks in advance.

I can’t provide photos at the moment. It doesn’t work well in small rooms. That’s why we installed a ceiling above our bedroom (13sqm (140sq ft)) and the dressing room (8sqm (86sq ft)). The three children’s rooms each have a gallery of about 10sqm (108sq ft) in the attic. Otherwise, they are open. The bathrooms are open up to the ceiling; the master bathroom is only 7sqm (75sq ft), and I could imagine adding a ceiling there too, but it doesn’t bother me. The children’s bathroom for our three sons is about 11sqm (118sq ft), and it looks better there. The height in the hallway looks nice. It’s long and large because four bedrooms and two bathrooms open off it. It works well there. As I said, I don’t like it in rooms under 15sqm (161sq ft). It’s a matter of personal taste. I might be able to provide pictures tomorrow.

I agree, I would also be very interested in pictures! We have the same plans.

Thank you! mini_g

Oh, I’m interested in that too; I’ve been thinking about it as well. However, I also believe it might not work as well in smaller rooms, but I can really imagine it looking great in children’s bedrooms.

Sorry, I’m a bit busy right now and looking for old pictures from before the chaos started here. We are currently renovating. So there are quite a lot of things piled up in the large hallway. I don’t really want to take pictures of that. But I haven’t forgotten.

So, here are a few pictures after all. I’m not a great photographer, but I hope you can still make out something. It looked much nicer without the clutter, of course. If you want, I can share some details about the ceiling heights.
