That's exactly how I imagined it. We have underfloor heating downstairs and ceiling heating/cooling via a horizontal collector... So I think there's no option, unfortunately, except to connect an electric heater, or just let the heat from below rise through the attic hatch?! But that wouldn't really be a proper solution either. However, the window wouldn’t be a big problem in my opinion; I marked it in the attachment, it can actually be installed there quite easily. Photos of the attic structure in the attachment, instead of the EPS, the OSB boards have already been laid.

Excuse me, you left out the insulation under the OSB?

You should also check whether the attic is suitable for heavier loads. Our [GU] explicitly points out everywhere that there is an extra charge if you want a reinforced attic. So a few boxes are okay, but a desk and office equipment also weigh a bit in certain spots....

on the insulation boards*, not instead, at least I think that's what I remember... an independent expert of mine was on site anyway, and I think he would have vetoed that, he was ultra precise. Thanks, I will ask about the load matter

Do you have a sufficiently sized electric cable going up? Usually, only a single cable for a lamp and at most one socket goes up.

Additionally, you need internet in the office, right? There won't be any network cables lying in the attic, will there?

How is the access supposed to be made? If the attic stairs are open, they will probably be in the way somehow?
