ᐅ Shed Roof with a 20-Degree Pitch – Without an Attic?

Hello everyone,
We are planning a semi-detached house in a new development area. The requirements are two full floors (attic optional) and a 20-degree pitched shed roof.
The developer has not been decided yet, but in initial discussions, they mostly suggested either an attic or an additional attic floor. Unfortunately, the attic floor is beyond our budget, and we actually find an attic unnecessary.
We had imagined leaving the space open upwards, but we were told that with a 20-degree pitch, the ceilings would end up being extremely high.
Now we are also unsure how good this will look in the end. So the question is: Does anyone have such a roof pitch and still keep the roof space open without an attic?
I hope I have expressed everything clearly…
Best regards

I have over 4 meters (13 feet) of headroom above the bed. It’s great. Roof pitch is 27 degrees.

This is what it looks like for us. There are still 2 full floors below. The rooms at the front are the nicest in the house ;-) with windows extending high up.
