Help: Room redesign ... Odd room layout/sloped ceiling

I have a current grow in a existing room in my basement. It was a sealed 2"x3" lumber/rigid foam box with a 4'x2.5' footprint.. I've opened the front of the box and just sealed the room with foam and plastic sheeting.

I'm at the point where I'd like to expand the footprint as much as possible.

The issue is that half the room is a sloped ceiling.

Any opinions of what the best layout would be? It seems like the sloped ceiling needs to remain as an area from where I manage the plants

divide the room into two.

I would go from the top down right where the sloped part meets the flat roof

Run the short side in veg and the tall side in flower
Put two lighst inline on the flower side and maybe a small LED on the veg side

Unfortunately, not really enough room width-wise. I'd still need an aisle to walk down... the room is only 5 feet wide.
I can veg in an either an upstairs closet if need be, or in my home office.

Really just looking to maximize flowering area.

then turn the whole thing into a flower room and hang all your lights at the 4.5ft level and LST or Scrog
with just LST I can easily keep my lights under 5ft

Yeah, u might be right. Currently around day 35 in flower on my current grow, and I'm way less than 3' off the ground. Also, running LEDs which I can drop pretty close to the canopy. My grow is going OK, not a record breaker by any means. I see some grow logs on here where the plants really have taken off vertically even with lst/scrog

if you hung lights in the centre of the room you could go a bit higher
where your sloped roof meets the flat roof is in the dead centre of the room

you could still probably grow 4 ft plants and not have any height issues

Plenty of room as long as your not using gravitas or similar for lighting, which your not.
Id say all my plants stay less than 4ft and always have, just need to top and train them and not grow xmas trees.

I would be tempted to use the top triangle for a drying space.
