1. Dormer Answer: A dormer is a structural element of a building that protrudes from the plane of
a sloping roof surface. Dormers are used, either in original construction or as later additions, to create
usable space in the roof of a building by adding headroom and usually also by enabling addition of
windows.
2. Roof Types
Answer: Lean-to
Gable
Hip
3. Lean-to Answer: A lean-to is a type of simple structure originally added to an existing building
with the rafters "leaning" against another wall. Free standing lean-to structures are generally used as
shelters.
4. Gable Answer: A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of a dual-
pitched roof. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system used
(which is often related to climate and availability of materials) and aesthetic concerns.
5. Hip Answer: a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle
slope. Thus it is a house with no gables or other vertical sides to the roof.
