Modern m shaped roof.

The sloped roofs on this modern house coupled with the wood paneling gives the house a very modern look. It provides plenty of light and ventilation but drainage is a problem. An m shaped roof is double pitched roof. This is a very modern design that is aesthetically unique.

People also love these ideas. While m shaped frames are slightly better with the wind factor the valley of the m is seen as a drawback. Poorly constructed roofs endanger the people living in a building so you need to make the roof compatible to the rest of the building in a well engineered style. Essentially a double gable.

The roof rests on two bearing walls with two sloping walls meeting in the middle to form an m shape. Roof shapes differ greatly from region to region. Roof terminology is also not rigidly defined. Drainage does exist as seen in the picture but debris and snow can collect there without much trouble.

Example of an m shaped roof. Photography by tim bies. Olson kundig architects designed this house in northeast oregon. One of the main reasons to clarify that m shaped roofs not only meet in the middle but are also sloped on each side is because a butterfly roof style simply adjoins in the center and not the sides.

The sloped roof on this modern glass farmhouse mimics the look of half of the barn behind it. This is a very modern design that is aesthetically unique like viewing a butterfly in flight while looking on from the exterior. It also features a central gutter at a right angle to the front facade. A roof is an integral part of a building and people try to personalise the roof designs to achieve optimum architectural splendour.

The colour and material of the roof complement the structural integrity of a building. The main factors which influence the shape of roofs are the climate and the materials available for roof structure and the outer covering. Central guttering runs between the two pitches to stop any snow or rain building up in the winter season. A type of roof formed by two gables that pitch sharply from either side toward the center to resemble a butterfly s wings.

Boasting one of the most striking of silhouettes among modern roof types m shaped roofs give off the impression of a bold zig zag horizon making even the simplest and spare buildings all the more statement making. A type of roof similar to a double pitched roof except that it rests on two load bearing walls only. Usages vary slightly from region to region or from one builder or architect to another. The obvious advantage is there is double the space.
