Ceiling height upper floor up to the roof

Hello,

I would like to have feedback on a planning idea from our upper floor. There, I want to increase the ceiling height up to the roof in two of the living rooms adjacent to the gable wall in order to have more space upwards. The partition wall perpendicular to the house orientation would also extend up to the roof. The cross beams of the roof structure would then be visible openly in the room. There is no attic due to the low roof pitch.

What other disadvantages might arise?

Anything else? What would be a disadvantage mentioned by you?

Greetings

I am thinking in all directions. Heating load, acoustic behavior, noise from rain/wind/...

You are talking about a low roof pitch... what is the absolute height?
At low height, heating consumption is negligible.
Noise? Rooms are generally built under the roof in single-story houses, so that probably doesn't apply.

Maybe the thought is easier for you if you know that many architect-designed houses are "open to above."

You speak of a low roof pitch... what absolute height is it about? With low height, the heating consumption is negligible. Noise? Rooms under the roof are generally built in single-story houses, so that is probably irrelevant. Maybe the idea is easier for you if you know that many architect-designed houses are "open to above".

Thanks already for the feedback. In general, I am also open to the idea of "open to above on the upper floor." I just don't want to have to hang the ceiling afterward due to some side effects. The note about architect-designed houses is good; maybe I am just being too cautious. In the current plan, the roof slopes on the upper floor (ground floor + developed upper floor, no attic planned) start at the exterior wall at room height 1.9m and extend about 1m into the room. The ceiling height from that point is about 2.50m. After removing the intermediate ceiling (upper floor to roof), there would be a continuous slope between the outer wall and the partition wall between the rooms in both rooms. The maximum ceiling height of both rooms would thus increase at the partition wall (directly under the ridge) by about 1m, to approximately 3.50m.

In our old house (rented), it is quite similar. But we don't have collar beams and the room height on the inside is 5m. Disadvantage: almost no one can use 5m, it is also awkward to paint, you have an "inner corner" up there – with additional collar beams it becomes even harder to use and more difficult to keep clean.

Advantage: lots of space above the children's loft bed. Also, lamps with long cords can be easily installed, but that probably won't work because of the beam layout?

In the new house, we have "normal" ceilings at 2.55m and an attic.
