We've got our plans drawn for 10' first floor, 9' second floor. What's everyone seeing in new construction? Anyone doing 11' or 12' first floor height? Suggestions?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Agree on the cavern feeling, but I feel like 10' is the sweet spot for common areas and 9' for bedrooms. Wasted energy probably comes more from having a 3,000 sqft house for 3 people than having tall ceilings.Builder93 said:
We live an old house with 8' ceilings. I find that I don't like going into new houses anymore. The ceilings are too tall. The proportions feel out of scale. Plus people can't believe how low our utility bills are and we have no (I mean zero, none, nada) insulation in the walls.

The tall ceilings makes it feel huge
