'risky projects housed in a roof space in st pauls?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'risky projects housed in a roof' is the wordplay.
'risky projects' becomes 'ventures' (venture is a kind of project. I am not sure about the 'risky' bit.).
'housed in' is an insertion indicator.
'roof' becomes 'dome' (dome is a kind of roof).
'a'+'dome'='adome'
'ventures' put within 'adome' is 'ADVENTURESOME'.
