Insert linkRedesigning a house for my parents. They want sloped roof. My question is how to keep roof together? It will be on top of 2 layered brick walls. Here is the thing, I have a great double height living room and would prefer to keep it open. Is there a way to have roof without adding those bracing joists? (see them highlighted in yellow and red). and If not, how do I calculate where and how often to place them? units are in mm. thanks!

did you not go to architecture school? Wood frame, rafters, bearing plates, etc, nothing complicated here... One thing to note here is that there is 100% certainty that those skylights will fail.

Don't forget the sexy overhang! Though if it's for your parents, you might want to tone it down a little.
On a side note, what does your family think of sending you to such an expensive education in the States to become a famous architect and not even know the basics? I felt so embarrassed when I had to design an extension and renovation of my cousin's house and realised I didn't know a bloody thing about building, made him sexy diagrams and renders though...
Will my roof FALL?
