Designing ground floor roof for extension

Hi all,

I'm in the latter stages of planning an extension. If you look at the picture below on the 1st floor I'm filling in the corner of the house with an extra bedroom.

On the ground floor I'm pulling down that conservatory, and building an extension in it's place on a similar footprint. Currently the conservatory is around 3m deep, whereas the new extension will go out around 3.5m. Note that currently its a step down into my conservatory whereas the new extension will be the same floor level, so the roof level will be the same as the existing ground floor.

So a standard pitched roof connecting to the house under the window will have a 15/16 degree pitch.

My question is how this will join the existing roof to the left on a smaller extension off my lounge. This only comes out about 1.5m and has around a 35 degree pitch.

I can't picture how they'd join and how it would look?

Cheers

 
Just in case anyone is doing something similar, I've now thought about this a lot more and decided that merging the existing roof with a new hipped roof, at the same angle would work (just missing existing window).

I've modelled this below.
