Hello,
we are currently planning the house.
We are getting 2 full floors and would like to have only part of the upper floor with a ceiling for an attic and the remaining rooms higher up to the roof.
I have already presented the floor plan here:
Now the question for us is in which rooms it makes sense not to install a ceiling and whether roof windows would also make sense there.
It is important to mention beforehand that we are deliberately not installing a controlled residential ventilation system (please no discussion about controlled residential ventilation here!).
Currently, the bathroom and bedroom are planned as follows:
-Bedroom: without a ceiling, thus a larger room volume which means more air in the hope that the air quality in the morning will not be as bad as if the room volume were significantly smaller.
At first, we wanted to have a roof window here, among other things because of the view of the stars. But since I have read more and more that many people cannot sleep because of the noise of a roof window when it rains, it can be unpleasantly bright during a full moon, etc., we have somewhat moved away from that idea.
-Bathroom: Our idea would be that I install a humidity sensor, as soon as the humidity in the bathroom exceeds a certain point, the roof window opens (with a slight delay). Steam and warm air rise upwards, so a roof window should be optimal here, right?
An acquaintance then said again that it would be better to have a ceiling in the bathroom so that the condensation water is not so high up??
What is your opinion?
