Scope

This fictional study depicts a modest two-storey cream-clapboard house with a simple gable roof. The views show the roof from the street, the reverse plane, a gable end and two close details. They describe a possible conversation about planned work, not work performed.

The design question

How might a dark roof-plane choice read from the street while keeping attention on the eave, gutter and fascia below?

Illustrative decisions

  1. Whole roof

    The street and reverse views establish the roof's extent before any detail is considered.

  2. Surface

    The charcoal shingle-like surface is a visual choice in the illustration, without a material specification or performance claim.

  3. Edge

    The close eave view keeps the junction with the gutter, fascia and siding in the discussion.

Details

Gable silhouette
The west view shows the simple roof form and how it meets the cream-clapboard wall.
Ridge and eave
The two close views separate the roof surface from its visible edge.

The concept outcome

The concept shows one possible visual relationship between a dark roof, a light house and a slate-blue edge. It makes no claim about a built result.

Bring the open questions.

Describe the roof work you are considering. Scope and material choices can be discussed after that first question.
