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.

We have an open space extending upwards, which is currently still a passage room. The exercise equipment is located there. However, the two radiators only manage to heat the room to about 16°C (61°F). This is not surprising, considering there is a small hallway attached, a very old, large roof window installed, and the roof has no insulation.
