Both? The ceiling is angled because of the roof. I guess some houses might not have rooms that high so one doesn't mean the other.

- pengaru 3y agoMost roofs are angled, I wouldn't say the same of ceilings. Here in the US anyways, it's pretty common to just have dead space separating the sloped roof from the interior horizontal ceiling. Maybe you have a usable attic in that space, but it's kind of unusual for it to be living space IME. It's wasteful, but it establishes a precedent of wasting interior volume. The distinction matters in this discussion specifically since you can take the same approach to the dead space in the walls of a spherical exterior if you prefer a boxy interior living space... Put shelves and other infra/amenities in that area to achieve cosmetically orthonormal interior walls. There's some advantage to a curved structural exterior... large flat surfaces aren't great structurally. But they don't have to result in curved interior walls. Just like our angled roofs don't always result in angled interior ceilings.
