Hello, we are currently planning a house with a pitched roof (38°) and are still unsure about which ceiling height to choose for the ground floor. The standard at this provider is 262.5 cm shell height / 246 cm clear room height. The floor-to-ceiling windows are 226 cm high. Now we are considering increasing the ground floor height by 12.5 cm or 25 cm. However, we also have a relatively high knee wall of 150 cm (possibly 137.5 cm could also be possible/sensible). Now to the questions:
1) Will the eaves height then be overall too high due to the increased room height and the high knee wall? On the long side we have no windows on the upper floor (currently no strip windows either), meaning it will be a large closed area. Is there a way to loosen this up?
2) Do the windows then also have to be raised or are 226 cm still okay?
Additional info: Our living room (with dining and kitchen) is quite large (approx. 11.5 x 4), therefore we fear that a low ceiling height might feel oppressive, hence the idea of raising it.
Maybe someone has experience with such ceiling heights and can advise..
Thank you!
