45 Degree Gable + Plate Roof struggle

[Dakar A]

Hello Townies!

I'm working on a digital MOC, and running into an issue- I want to have a gabled roof, using the 1x1x2 45 degree roof bricks, with a plate roof on top of it. However, I've run into a problem that feels like it requires a new part to solve:

The build on the right uses the same sort of construction from the Winter Village Toy Shop, but I also created a 1x1x1.5 plate and 1x2x1.5 plate in order to align the 92946 (slope 45 2x1 w/ 2/3 cutout) parts to get that nice 45 degree slope across the entire height. 

My question is: is there a more elegant or feasible way to get a similar setup WITHOUT resorting to pieces that Lego has never made before? I'm using this in a modular context, so the right edge of the roof can't go beyond the outermost 45 1x2 brick.

You can achieve half-plate heights using bracket pieces, but using that technique might lead to rather thick walls to accommodate all the SNOT behind the facade. A lot of gabled roofs in MOCs have a little bit of an overhang to put something in front of that unsightly gap and cover it up:

There's also half-plate heights with headlight bricks. Here's a very useful picture I found from this website https://toweringbrickcreations.com/category/building-techniques/:

I think going with the headlight solution might be the easiest way while keeping walls at ~1 brick thickness.

LEGO used to have those 53 degree roof bricks (part 6044), but that part has not been made since 1998 , but still might be useful if it's a digital MOC.

Ooh, I'd completely blanked on using cheese slopes! I just need this particular part of the build to be a facade, so that may well be the best solution. Would also allow me to integrate an arch over the domed window too.
