Stop your planar thinking.

These shapes are made with curved wall with a complex profile.

Make a swoopy section and then trim it with a Solid Element Operation [SEO]

Once you establish the ceiling geometry [in my illustration, the wire frame as a complex profile extruded as a wall], then you make a slab to match the irregular planar size and "Intersect" the SEO.

These section shapes can be stair or ramp-like, tilted and doubly-curved....
