I left that out, but I think a utility closet accessible from the outside could be placed behind the toilet or shower.

A question: Have you allowed space for some sort of water heater, propane storage, etc., or were you planning on using an on-demand system? Malama pono, JT Much of this looks very good.

This design is lower than 13.5 feet. I think a flexible/transformable roof is a great idea but I would personally avoid it due to the complex engineering needed... especially for a roof. But I can see that with some effort and hydraulics it could be done. In many US States 13.5′ is the limit for transporting a trailer/vehicle without a permit. This design is lower than 13.5 feet.

I really like your design, but I'm wondering, for people who are building somewhere other than where the house will end up, can a house this tall be transported? Here in Florida, the shed people have to keep their roofs heights low, because the law limits to overall transport height on the road. An interesting modification would be a collapsible peak, that could be folded for moving, and popped up on site. Thinking...thinking... A question about portability.

I was looking for a design that would shed snow and allow me to install solar and my water tank between the rafters. Your roofing design is what I have in mind. Great job! Mike Michael,
