Gable: The facade is a point

A main facade dominated by a pointed gable. The two slopes of the roof meet at the front to form a steep triangle. The edges of the gable have stepped coping or continuous small pinnacles, topped with a cross or a spire. Below the gable is a set of pointed arch windows, aligned on the central axis. Avoid: making the gable a classical low triangular pediment, having no coping at the top of the gable, openings deviating from the central axis, making the main facade a horizontal rectangular mass.

一個以尖山牆為主體的正立面。屋頂的兩坡在正面交會成一個陡峭的三角,山牆的邊緣有階梯狀的收頭或連續的小尖飾,頂端立著十字或尖錐。山牆下方是一組尖拱窗,中軸對齊。避免:把山牆做成古典的低矮三角楣、讓山牆頂端沒有收頭、開口偏離中軸、把正立面做成水平的長方形量體。
