Gambrel roof styles are symmetrical two sided panels with slopes on each side.
House style with two windows on roof.
The half cape or the single cape is the simplest variation and earliest example of the cape cod style home.
Their design takes in the advantages of sloped roof angles while lengthening headspace inside a building s upper level while diminishing what would otherwise be a tall roof.
Because this house has many angles and roof lines the dormer windows are not nearly as prominent as they are in other houses.
A hipped roof is the style of a roof shape that fixes such a problem.
Here s a contemporary mountain or northwest style home with two dormer windows built into the roof.
One of the biggest problems with the gable roof style is that the two ends of the two house will have no shade or cover because there are only two roofing surfaces.
A hip roof is defined as when all sides slope downwards towards the walls.
The style is closely related to italianate but is always characterized by its mansard roof named for the 17th century french architect françois mansart.
The half cape three quarter cape and the full cape.
Mansard roof hipped with two pitches with dormers set into it and patterned shingles deep eaves with decorative brackets 2 over 2 or 1 over 1 windows with elaborate hoods or pediments.
The cape cod style has evolved throughout the years and it has three variations.
