Not exactly as fancy as your proposed structure, but I just had this erected. Mine is more utilitarian, but gets the job done. It has 12' engineered truss' and is 32'X32' (largest I could get in that area). It is directly across from my 36'X66' shop.
I like your building's aesthetics. I like the tall center door. If the supporting poles don't bother you (some guys like the open span) then go for the rafter design. I would get roll up curtains for each side of the center bay. That way you can have it open except when you need to heat up a work area, then the smaller area will be easier &amp; quicker to heat.
