Room with arched/curved walls and ceiling?

[joesausage]

I've scoured the internet and I can't really find an answer to this question.  

 

I'm attempting to re-create the space seen in these photos in Chief Architect (or Home Design, either one), but I'm really having trouble creating arched walls and an arched ceiling.  It's a very basic 10m x 2.75m room - except that the walls are curved, almost from the floor.  There's very little 90 degree wall to speak of. 

 

The curved ceiling function really isn't working for me - it's trying to create a barrel that runs like an arch the length of the room, not an arched ceiling with the arch spanning the width. 

 

Any suggestions here that aren't super duper hacky?  I'd like to be able to do things like place lights and furniture in the room as normal, so the idea of making it one big arched doorway or something isn't really gonna work.

Roof or ceiling plane?

Curved roof sitting on short walls and no ceiling above.

The trick to drawing a full barrel roof is to give it a pitch of zero degrees and then play with the other settings.

Well, I had to try it. It's not really easy but I used curved roof planes and concrete walls with double arched doorways. There are actually 6 roof planes, two on each side of the concrete walls and two between the walls with a roof hole over the stairs. I didn't make it to your room size so the settings will be different, and I used X17'

Why use 6 roof planes when you can use 1?

For some reason the walls beside the stairs and my arched doorways were messed up and that’s the only way I could get them to work. I’m sure it could be done but copy/paste and drag in place, a couple minutes and it worked. Sure not a normal situation!!!
