What are these called?

Not an attic flat but the roof supports come down into the room, as in the photos (1st pic is not my property, just screenshotted from Rightmove to give a clear example). Does anyone know the technical term for this, please? Am trying to figure out how best to configure bookshelves around it (along with the problem that the alcove is very shallow) and it would be easier if I could Google using the correct words! Thanks

Eaves?

You'll probably need bespoke shelves, or some kind of modular system.

Eaves!

Our bedroom is just like the first picture and we call it eaves.

It is a coomb ceiling.
The eaves are where the roof meets the floor of the room and makes an angle
