Roof Shapes
Roof shapes are greatly influenced and designed based on the varied properties of specific climates, regions, materials, and architectural styles. Because of the variety of design strategies, roof terminology is flexible and can range from flat roofs to steeply pitched angles. Similarly, roof shapes can be simple singular planes, form domes or arches, or can become complex combinations of slopes, gables, hips, cut-outs, and additions.
