Hello everyone,
can someone tell me how high the room in the attic will be if we build a 1.60m (5 ft 3 in) knee wall with a 28-degree gable roof?
I mean the height right in the middle of the attic.
Thanks and good luck

With an exterior dimension of 8.79 m (28.8 ft), the interior measures 8.12 m (26.6 ft) with an exterior wall thickness of 33.5 cm (13.2 inches). If the knee wall is measured as described—as the inflection point/transition of the inner wall covering from the finished floor to the roof slope covering—the height at the highest point of the theoretically extended roof slope covering is 3.76 m (12.3 ft).
The roof structure is not taken into account here, as it is located above the roof slope covering. With a clear room height of 2.52 m (8.3 ft) and a ceiling thickness of 0.27 m (10.6 inches), approximately 1 m (3.3 ft) of height remains at the roof peak (depending on the thickness of the roof slope covering, since it most likely does not extend all the way to the ridge). Please also consider any possible ridge beam or collar ties. You probably expected more storage space, but it will only be an attic crawl space.
Wishing you a pleasant Sunday,

I mean the height when standing exactly in the middle of the attic.
Thanks and good luckHello!
Only one question remains: Why build like this? Is a two-story building not allowed? Maximum height 1.50m (4 feet 11 inches)? Fear of windows?
At least from the outside, it looks really bad.

Hello!
Costs really don’t matter much if you compare apples to apples. A few extra bricks are just peanuts in terms of expense; however, windows and shutters obviously cost more than a plain roof with tile covering. But if you compare the costs of dormers and/or skylights, it’s a different story.
A two-story house with a hipped roof (town villa) looks great, and you can easily do without sloped ceilings in everyday life. The most important thing, however, is summer heat protection – I never want to have to sleep under a tile roof again!
And if money—as always—is a factor: build a shed roof! It’s cheaper, more practical (standing height), although somewhat more modern in appearance.
Oh, and it’s not the roof that spoils the look in your plan, but the knee wall (dwarf wall). Such a large area without windows looks barn-like, and interruptions like bay windows or a third gable really add to the cost.
Best regards,
