10×14 vaulted studio plans
Open to the peak on a ridge beam — a room, not a box.
No rafter ties: the ridge is a sized beam carried to the ground on posts in the gable walls, so the ceiling is the underside of an 8:12 roof. Big windows on both long walls, panel siding, and pier blocks under a built-up beam to keep the floor off wet ground.
