yeah, I like this idea too. definitely extravagant, though, and don't talk to me about heating... we were keen to have the drama of the extra high ceilings because we'd moved from a tenement which had nice airy spacious rooms, whereas the 1920s houses (while not cramped compared to today's new builds) are less generous
here's an example of a house where they've 'extended' into the loft (archmongers' "peek house"):
On the upper floor, ceilings were removed to expose the rafters and help create a spacious feel within the two bedrooms and small bathroom.
