Hello all and I hope that someone can help me out or at least point me in the right direction.

Having said that this is what I have...

I have designed a square "U" shaped house for my family and have really had very little trouble with the design until I got to the roof design. The way I have this pictured is as follows:

The roof will be shed/lean-to/monoslope roof with a pitch ceiling.

The roof will be metal.

Insulation will be 2" of close cell foam.

Ceiling will be wood decking.

Supports will be either open visible trusses or beams.
(This is what I am having issues with)

Most spans will be 20'.

Only exceptions are two 3' sections of wall which will be 23' spans.

Outer perimeter walls of the "U" being 10' tall.

Inner perimeter walls of the "U" being 16' tall to achieve a 4/12 pitch.

ALL perimeter walls will be constructed out of ICFs.

There will a gutter system and 2' of overhang.

How do all of these parts/pieces fit together? How do I put them together? HELP!!!(Please and thank you)

I don't know if I've given too much information or not enough. I can't stand reading long drawn out posts BUT hope the right person can stand it and reads mine.

Now call me old-fashioned but how does a square 'U' shape work?

I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking? One leg of the "U" will be the master wing, second wing will be the kids wing and the third leg will be the common area (formal dining, living and kitchen with breakfast nook).
