I very much like this house plan but I'm curious about the height of the knee walls on the second floor because I'm over six foot tall. How high are they? Also, I can envision in my mind this house plan with a Dutch Gambrel (barn style) roof instead of the gable roof shown (floor layout would remain the same). The lower slope would have a 16:12 or 18:12 pitch and the upper slope would have a 6:12 pitch. Have a narrow dormer on the front where the skylight is now shown. The pitch on the dormer roof would also be 6:12 and it would blend in with the upper roof slope, as an extension of the upper slope. The same would be true of the wide dormer at the rear over the bathroom. This type of roof would provide more volume and headroom over a larger area I think, and it would make a nice variation for your plan portfolio as well. What do you think of this idea? Is it doable? One more thing, I would have a double hung window on each side of the fireplace, but spaced a bit further apart than the windows in the bedroom above.
