Modern house build- flat versus pitch roof

MizMix

Hi,

I am hoping to start building later this year. Design wise- our taste seems to be shifting all the time. Myself and my husband definitely prefer modern, clean lines, large windows/lots of light etc but at the same time we don't want anything too clinical/cold etc- so modern but still warm and homely if that makes sense. We had intended on a render finish but integrating traditional stone, aluclad windows etc. We were swinging towards flat roof (as that what our architect suggested given we liked modern) but I'm starting to panic a little- maybe I'm more traditional that I'd like to admit (or what the americans call 'transitional')! I've also read a bit about insurance companies not insuring houses with over a certain % of flat roof, that there can be problems down the line especially due to our climate.

So my question is (as we're total amateurs design wise and being very indecisive) is does anyone have any examples of nice modern house designs with pitch roofs. You can still go modern but with a pitch roof right? We met one architect and to him modern = flat roof full stop so we're just trying to see examples (pics, architects portfolios etc) for inspiration and to show our architect (as we were so indecisive when we first met him) plus we'd like to meet a few other architects and be able to give a better brief. I like this architect up north (just came across her today):

But I can't find too many other examples.

Also any recommendations for an architect in the north east (mid louth to be exact).
