Our house here will be build with a flat roof (slightly tilted of course to drain water) but the ceiling height will be almost 4 M, roofs will be covered with white gravel or what's available here and the house will be build in the direction so that the sea wind will always blow through the house. All rooms with large windows and not sure of this yet, either the windows will have sliding wooden sun protectors or the roof will be acting as sun protection by building it over the edge of the walls or maybe the two, don't know yet.

The houses I designed in Belgium were all flat roofs and covered with white gravel but then against the cold, act as a very good isolator.
