Hello, I have planned to build a house and have sketched an elevated wall life according to the building height we are allowed to have.

This would mean that internally I have 114cm to where the wall intersects with the 38-degree roof.

How can I easily reduce this to 70cm and then periodically see how much room area is lost with the reduced wall?

Is there a good visual way to do this?

What is the measurement of the house and what is the maximum building height you are allowed?

Max building height 4.20, so I keep all the outer measurements. However, the municipality says it can only be 1 floor, and if there are more than 70 cm interior walls on the upper floor, they say it counts as an additional floor. They then suggested raising the indoor joists or changing the roof angle...

But I don't really see the point of raising the joists (44 cm) as it should be the same as lowering the ceiling, i.e., the indoor space remains the same. I only elevate the wall life to maximize the area within the building height I can have.

I guess there's something I'm not getting, but I can't see any space for an upper floor.

4.20 is where the wall meets the roof. 2.50 in ceiling height on the lower floor. Width 8700 😁
 
So no maximum ridge height?

No, but Max 45-degree roof pitch.

Yes, but roof angle 38 degrees. Width 8700mm.

Then compare room volume if you have 700mm or 1140mm on the wall on the upper floor.

New attempt.

Exactly. What I'm curious about is to know where e.g. 1500 and 1900 end up from floor to ceiling if you have 700 reps 1140 as an interior wall, i.e. how big the difference in space will be.
 
Not keeping up with what is meant.

I have the house drawn with 1140mm today, where you put 700 (which the municipality says I can have). So I wanted to see the difference in the space at the top that results from the two different wall heights.

If you have a 1140 wall, then the floor/ceiling cuts closer to the outer wall at the dimensions 1500mm and 1900mm. But HOW much closer than if the wall is 700mm.

Hard to explain 😁
 
1140 you have if the house is designed that way. But 1500 and 1900 I still do not understand.
 
If you mark the ceiling height 1500 and 1900 in your drawing above and distance from the wall, and do the same in a drawing with wall 1140, TS can compare the upstairs area with standing height. That's how I interpret the question.
