Steep Roofs and Dormer Windows

The roof of a residential building or school. The slope is steep, approaching sixty degrees, covered with dark slate tiles. Several gabled dormer windows protrude from the roof surface, each with its own small pointed arch window and carved bargeboard. Cast iron ornaments are on the ridge. The silhouette is distinctly undulating. Avoid: making the roof a gentle four-slope roof, using a flat modern metal roof, removing the dormer windows leaving the roof surface blank, making the ridge line straight and flat without undulations.

一棟住宅或學校的屋頂。坡度陡到接近六十度,鋪深色的石板瓦,屋面上凸出幾座尖山牆的老虎窗,每一座都有自己的尖拱小窗與雕花封簷板。屋脊上有鑄鐵的花飾。輪廓線起伏明顯。避免:把屋頂做成平緩的四坡、使用平整的現代金屬屋面、拿掉老虎窗讓屋面空白、讓屋脊線平直無起伏。
