Best/Most affordable way of converting this flat roof frame to a pitched roof truss system?

Bit of an odd, custom job. It was supposedly going to be extra dwelling space, but the sketches I've been shown suggest a garage/pool house combi. Either way, it didn't make it through an appeal, so is possibly coming my way. It's approx 18m x 18m (with the tie beams being 7m) and with an added stem wall about 3m to ceiling.

The frame itself is oak, and not joined traditionally (as in it uses metal plates), so relatively easy to reassemble. I really don't enjoy flat roof systems so was thinking of converting it to trusses, but the frame layout is a bit odd and I'm not used to seeing this. Any ideas from my fellow timber frame enthusiasts on how to change it up to pitched roof? Monopitch ideas also welcome!

Cheers
