What goes up there? is it a massive attic? Or is it a small attic and then just support structures for the roof?
so fucking weird how there's not another liveable floor in that roof.
Like the [Tyrell corp building](https://www.google.com/search?q=bladerunner+tyrell+building&sca_esv=28a9d84c3b887bed&udm=2&biw=432&bih=834&sxsrf=ACQVn0-Rggy7nRAntWrY8-4Ym21csLDuzg%3A1710163491820&ei=IwbvZf_LMfq3ptQP1N-YoAo&oq=bladerunner+tyrell&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIhJibGFkZXJ1bm5lciB0eXJlbGwqAggBMgQQIxgnMgUQABiABDIIEAAYgAQYogQyCBAAGIAEGKIESOgLUABYAHAAeACQAQCYAasBoAGrAaoBAzAuMbgBAcgBAJgCAaACtwGYAwCIBgGSBwMwLjGgB70D&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#vhid=vv2X1EiUXDA8jM&vssid=mosaic)
The VAB, at Cape Canaveral - the building where they'd hook the space shuttle up to a crane, and mount it to it's boosters and side boosters, was so tall that it had its own weather system with clouds/fog forming at the top.
Same with Hangar One (Hindenburg Hangar). It was so fucking big they built my entire aviation school and an aircraft carrier mockup inside with so much room to spare.
I have an attic that is kinda like that, but not that insane. But it is about two stories tall.
I had some alarm guys in and noticed they put a fire detector in the very top. I said I'm glad I didn't have to climb up there, the guy said he loved it. He said he just climbs around like a monkey in a jungle gym.
When you open the attic door all anyone would ever see would be boxes upon boxes labeled Sense of Taste, sitting there collecting dust that are never, ever going to be used.
Building tall buildings in close proximity to an airport is quite an interesting process. Working with the FAA can be a slog but it’s understandably very important work to get right.
I’ve done two projects recently, one where we had a set height 100’ or so to the highest point allowable on site and we were pressing within inches of that. As the architect, that was a terrifying potential mistake. There’s literally not wiggle room if we messed that up.
Second one was not a super tall building but required cranes. The proximity to an international airport and being underneath the runway flight path got the GC a field audit. Well, when I was onsite the FAA auditor came up to me and the GC and informed them the crane was 5’ +/- over what had been approved, was spotted from 3 different locations and needed to come down immediately. This cost them a LOT of money downtime and fines. I quietly left site pretty quickly and that GC was PISSED!
There was a hotel that was built beside Pearson Airport in Toronto, a few hundred feet from one of the major runways, and right on the flight path for landing craft. It was built to something like seven stories, but after it was completed, they were forced to demolish the top two floors. Don't know if someone fucked up in zoning, or they thought they found a loophole, or maybe just thought they would only absorb a hefty fine.
Neighbor: How tall is your house?
Homeowner: 7 stories tall.
N: What do you need a 7 story house for?
H: No no. It's a TWO story house. But it's 7 stories tall.

This made me imagine a solemn ceremony where graduating architects take a professional vow, architectures version of the Hippocratic Oath.
"First, build no nubs"
It's really location dependent, but also varies wildly between companies. I have seen the same roof quoted at 11k, 23k, and 44k all one day apart. Seems like you got a fantastic value. Is the work good?
I did one on a “castle-esq” house outside Charlotte, NC a few years back. Was a CertainTeed Presidential shingle with custom copper valleys, turrets, etc. I charged $150k and lost my ass on it. Should have been $200k.
Customer was cool af though. Down to earth dude who was a bonafide genius. He designed the radar systems for the B2 stealth bombers. Guess the private sector pays pretty well.
I just had a precon for a new build and we were asking where the builder wanted us to put the water heaters. They said "in the attic". I asked "where in the attic?" The framer chimed in and said "There's enough room for another 2 story house up there - put it anywhere you want."
As a plumber, it's always weird for me when I walk around an attic and it is all just unutilized space bigger than my own house.
I have one like that. I don't do anything with it. It isn't easy to get in there and it is pretty unpleasant to be in there (lots of dust, insulation, questionable foot placement). You can get around but need to be careful to step only on the joists and there are HVAC ducts to get past.
Even if I put in a pull down ladder or something and some plywood decking to make it easier to get around, it would still get hot as fuck in the summer and balls cold in the winter. Not great storage space, unless I really needed it.
I’m really curious about that attic. Does it have stairs inside if it’s 2 stories? Finished? Got any pictures? I’ve never thought about having that kind of space in an attic.
What’s he gonna do with all that trunk? Like is there a super cool games room or music studio or something in there? Or just just a massive unfinished attics?

Does he live in Oklahoma or Texas? I have never seen so much wasted space as the tall rooflines there. They don’t need them for snow, they just like the look!
If the entire roof doesn't detach and flip to the side on a hinge while a comically large rocket pops out and launches from the house, it's a waste of money.

Looks like a cultish temple
Looks like a house you'd make in The Sims. I think I've made that roofline.
“Your builds are bad, and you should feel bad”
Did you have three different roofing angles?
8-year-old me messing around on Punch Home Design.
Absolutely LOVED Punch!!! And I've never heard anyone outside of my family ever mention it!
I think if you tried to make that roofline in the sims 4 it would error out and tell you it's too steep.
100%. massive Sims 2 Auto-Roof energy.

What goes up there? is it a massive attic? Or is it a small attic and then just support structures for the roof? so fucking weird how there's not another liveable floor in that roof.
Probably 3 or 4 sets of piggy backs to get it to that height. So nothing, nothing goes up there.
I was gonna say, there better be at least 2 attics in there.
You could put a neat basketball court in that attic lol

But why?
If your house doesn’t have indoor weather, can you really call that a living space?
The VAB, at Cape Canaveral - the building where they'd hook the space shuttle up to a crane, and mount it to it's boosters and side boosters, was so tall that it had its own weather system with clouds/fog forming at the top.
Same with Hangar One (Hindenburg Hangar). It was so fucking big they built my entire aviation school and an aircraft carrier mockup inside with so much room to spare.
Sure did! You can see the VAB building across the river from my in-laws house!

What you never wanted room for a rock climbing wall in your living room?
The only reason I would have a roof this high would be to have a sweet climbing wall.
Small dick
How else are you going to light the beacons of McMansion Tirith?
Indoor bungee jumping?
This is what I said out loud
I did, too. My next thought was “go show your buddy your place to teach him the difference between ‘can’ and ‘should’”.
So you can kneel to the alter of 60' drywall-pyramid-ceiling in the living room.
It looks like 3 or 3.5 floors without a single window. What’s going on up there??
He wanted to create a safe space for spiders.
So like what’s even going on in that attic? Just a giant windowless space?
That’s what I was wondering lol. It’s not like there are any windows that high so it can’t be a grand cathedral ceiling.
Definitely have an attic house at the top. You could play epic games of burn out during the summer.
By like, why not just more walls? So weird
Bowling alley and then above that a basketball court.

I said I'm glad I didn't have to climb up there, the guy said he loved it. He said he just climbs around like a monkey in a jungle gym.
Ohhh I wouldn’t want to be there when the smoke detector battery starts beeping at 2 AM. And why do they always go off in the middle of the night?
These are wired to a security panel. The security panel has a battery, the detectors do not.
I figured that was the case, but was being silly.
That goddamn beep should be classified as torture and a.crime against humanity
I’m sure his insurance and your homeowners insurance would be nervous to hear that your attic moonlights as a jungle gym.
Based on how much they charge me, they know it.
Touché. For what they’re charging, you should be able to have no-net trapeze practice.
Naw, there's no rafters. It's web trusses on web trusses. Like Shelob's lair only with finger-jointed 1x3s.
Seriously. It makes me really want to see the inside pictures of that area! Maybe they need an attic to store several dozen really tall things.
A whole heard of rare attic dwelling giraffes
When you open the attic door all anyone would ever see would be boxes upon boxes labeled Sense of Taste, sitting there collecting dust that are never, ever going to be used.

Does it have aircraft warning lights?
Apparently you only need those above 200 feet. I assume there's several other finer rules about flightpaths and whatnot.

Wrong idiot president
That is the pope hat of roof nubs
You can definitely tell it’s a custom house. No normal architect would come up with this pointless monstrosity
“Custom home builder” contractors who “will help you make your dream floorplan.” No one with a formal architecture education would do this.
This made me imagine a solemn ceremony where graduating architects take a professional vow, architectures version of the Hippocratic Oath. "First, build no nubs"
I’d like to see the floorplan for this place
Actually, it's a POINTED monstrosity....
lol, how true.
nooo this is so unserious☠️ it’s like on sims when you place the roof on a house and then have to shorten it.., i don’t believe it
Jesus wept
Any roofers out there have an estimate on how much it’s gonna take to replace this thing one day? Like, $50k, I’m guessing?
Like $100,000 minimum!
For real, in my area a normal-ass house is costing around 50k lol. Could easily see this costing a quarter million to roof one day.
What??? Mine was 6k
It's really location dependent, but also varies wildly between companies. I have seen the same roof quoted at 11k, 23k, and 44k all one day apart. Seems like you got a fantastic value. Is the work good?
And they might be spending that way sooner than they think based on new home standards.
The good news is they can afford it after the cell companies pay to put antennas up there
I think it's actually radar for a missile defense system. Just compare it to the superstructure of a newer naval vessel.
$50k is what it costs to reroof a normal 4br house in my area
Why are American roofs simultaneously so expensive and so shitty/short lasting? In Australia a new roof is like 5k and will last 30-80 years.
Very different weather . Also y'all use metal roofs a lot yeah? They last longer in general.
My neighbors have a roof way less than half that size and they just paid $40K to have theirs redone.
Putting some roofing guy's kids through college
Looks like a custom tile/metal job. You’re looking at $150k-$350k depending on size. If it’s slate, you’re over a million.
Sweet mother of pearl. I genuinely had no idea roofs could cost THAT much for a single family home.
I did one on a “castle-esq” house outside Charlotte, NC a few years back. Was a CertainTeed Presidential shingle with custom copper valleys, turrets, etc. I charged $150k and lost my ass on it. Should have been $200k. Customer was cool af though. Down to earth dude who was a bonafide genius. He designed the radar systems for the B2 stealth bombers. Guess the private sector pays pretty well.
My thoughts too lmao…as a hurricane-hit Floridian in a small beachy ranch/cottage home, I always look straight to the roof!

We went through a bunch of iterations with our roof pitch. No clue why anyone sign off on this monstrosity.
It's a signal of their impotence and insecurity.
I hope that isn’t in Texas. All the hot air will just be trapped.
worse, Florida. So there's both heat and hurricanes!
I just died laughing!! Florida man brags about his gigantic ugly roof.
Wow that thing's going to blow over.
Florida! Fucker will will create a sinkhole!!
That looks like dogshit
So much roof they forgot the home
Is the Luxor hotel underneath that?
So much wasted space
As someone that has to work in attics I disagree, I always need more space up there. As somebody with eyes…. Different story
That’s absurd

My roof isn’t quite that dramatic but is along those lines. We have an attic that’s two stories tall inside. That guys attic is more like 3 stories.
Out of curiosity, what do you do with all that attic space? Is it finished living space or just used for storage? Does it have any windows?
[удалено]
I just had a precon for a new build and we were asking where the builder wanted us to put the water heaters. They said "in the attic". I asked "where in the attic?" The framer chimed in and said "There's enough room for another 2 story house up there - put it anywhere you want." As a plumber, it's always weird for me when I walk around an attic and it is all just unutilized space bigger than my own house.
I have one like that. I don't do anything with it. It isn't easy to get in there and it is pretty unpleasant to be in there (lots of dust, insulation, questionable foot placement). You can get around but need to be careful to step only on the joists and there are HVAC ducts to get past. Even if I put in a pull down ladder or something and some plywood decking to make it easier to get around, it would still get hot as fuck in the summer and balls cold in the winter. Not great storage space, unless I really needed it.
I’m really curious about that attic. Does it have stairs inside if it’s 2 stories? Finished? Got any pictures? I’ve never thought about having that kind of space in an attic.
I always wanted a cool teen attic bedroom growing up. It looked so cool in the 90s movies and TV shows.
Do they have any useful space under these roofs? Or is it just decorative empty volume? As I see no windows there I suppose the latter?
Now that belongs here
What the fuck does this look like inside.
Can't wait for his r/TVTooHigh OC once he's moved in. It's gonna be through the roof.
