Gable raised (4.18 m) or suspended ceiling (height??)

We have a 22° roof pitch and a 2.60m knee wall. Whether the rooms appear smaller because of that, I can hardly judge, but I find the sense of space significantly better. The floor wouldn't be practically usable anyway, and there is enough storage space in the basement. A few usage possibilities (loft bed, etc.) also arise from this or are easier to realize. I would definitely do it that way again!

We now live in the house. We chose the gable-high variant with a visible ridge beam and it looks great. We are glad that we did not install any ceilings.

Since I am currently having EXACTLY THIS discussion with my boyfriend (he doesn't like the high walls, I want it open): PLEASE TAKE PICTURES!!!!

We do have a lower knee wall, but a steeper roof (unfortunately), but even so, our walls are about 4m high.

Here are two photos:

We had it in the old house, but we never liked it and in the photos it again does not suit my taste. With a nice, open wooden construction ([Aufdachdämmung]), my opinion would probably be different. If that is not possible, rather a ceiling at 2.60 m.

Well, what remains as attic space is hardly usable anyway. Then I might as well do without the ceiling and have nice, tall, airy rooms. I think it's good. Karsten
