You will lose a lot of slope by working a shed-style roof around the inner corner, but if you don't live up north, it might work for you.

?

Yes, exactly what ppf had shown on the left.

I would take the one ppf posted on the left but use a lower pitch on that new section so that it does not go all the way back up to the ridge line.

yes, ppf's solution looks like it would require rebuilding the entire right side of the roof...

thank you for your advice! Does adding a second hip like ppf suggested or lower hip as Deborah stated change the existing roof lines? Which would be most cost effective? Thank you!

Keeping it lower would be far more cost effective.

Out side the box solution: go to a glass ceiling supported by sightly lower side walls. This requires laminated glass, but requires no roof modification. I did a 6' shower this way and it was both a great look and cost effective. Since it is lower than the valley it will not impede water flow off the roof

yikes, is possible to add a roof that spans across the center of the the U without changing the existing roof lines (entire rebuild). This would provide covered outdoor space on the left and the kitchen extension on the right If so, how would the roof extension tie into the existing roof? Thank you!

I like the idea & think glass ceiling looks nice in pictures, but how do you keep it clean? My other concern would be the large trees around the home (limbs falling).

A long handled squeegee makes quick work of any thing not washed off by the the rain.
I used tempered glass on top and laminated on the bottom for code and safety. It is a little more risky and I trimmed back trees leaning over it. I love the look and it is a one piece change out if it does get hit.

Yes you can create a roof all the way across with the proper supports. That would create a nice lanai to use. You would just need to make sure your existing roof pitches are correct and then look at your options to tie in depending upon the width and pitch of the new roof.

The models I posted above were in response to the first 2 comments -- I wasn't suggesting one way or another.

The shed roof is simple to extend across to create a porch. It would join up on the opposite hip exactly the same.

I just guessed at dimensions and existing roof pitch, but used a 3 in 12 pitch for the shed part. I'm guessing 4 in 12 would work on your house.

Where are you located?

I appreciate all input! The roof pitch is plus or minus - 5/12. We are located in Virginia Beach, VA.

ppf, the drawings are very helpful to communicate and see options.

If you would like to see the glass shed on the bath, the house is over in Suffolk just off route 17

Thanks for nice roofing. The climate and environment
where you're building, the availability of building materials, and the
building's purpose will all affect the resulting shape of
its roof that gives a home x factor which enables any light commercial or
domestic structure to be fitted together in a fraction of the time of
traditional timber frames or heavy hot rolled sections. Many house builders,
architects, self-build enthusiasts, roofing contractors and specifies are
already converted to this Modern Method of Construction – with many repeat
customers who have realised what the U-Roof system can do for them.. Your ideas
are appreciated.

I am having the same issue laz_. What did you end up doing to your roof? I would appreciate any feedback!
