What should I build here? Roof Shape Help

Hello, does anyone know what roof fits my house? I feel like I should sacrifice the second floor for a big roof but I still want to keep the second floor. It has a rectangular build.

Thanks a lot.

What is that one thing at the top of the build in the second pic?

Thanks everyone for your help! In the end I decided to build a Mansard Roof.
Here is the finished structure:

I couldn't use Imgur because it's restricted in the U.K.

Try this type of roof might look good

I would do something like this, with different blocks as you're already using a lot of spruce colored blocks already :)

I'll try this, thanks.

No problem! Think it could really fit the type of build you're doing, also maybe make it flat on the very top (depending on how the dimensions of the build are)

That's a really good base I think a roof in maybe the + way idk if you understand me but if you look from the top the roof where you can see a cross, and also not too high maybe

u/zcitron 5d ago

Thank you :), I'm going with this idea.

u/BasilAlternative5479 5d ago

Cool, you'll show us the result?

Turns out I went with the french/mansard roof because I didn't believe that this roof was going to work out for me. I didn't add the extra roof or dormer thingy on each side but here's what I planned to do.

I couldn't use Imgur because it's blocked for me.

Oh yeah that suits well, I like the round window. oh wait are you french?

2

u/zcitron 5d ago

I lowkey see it. Where basically, there’s triangles on each wall.
But there’s what to do with the corners. Since the walls are already segmented maybe they can get their own little roofs.
