Thanks for your input everyone. I was actually Googling asymmetrical extensions and interesting shaped ones when I saw the flat roofed zinc clad one that I liked.
I thought a sloping roof but sloping down from left to right might look good, but again would serve no additional purpose other than looking different to normal.
The window looking out over the roof is one of our boys' bedrooms, and so considerations about the view from it probably aren't too high up on our list of priorities.
Our architect has given us these two roofline options just as initial ideas, but we haven't properly discussed the likely cost implications yet which will probably be what ends up deciding it - but if we do go for a flat roof I'd like the green option, once we've properly looked at potential downsides (sycamore/buddleia/weeds taking root? Everything dying and looking shit? Difficulty of fixing problems with it?)
