The roof is huge. In fact, the house comes across as mostly roof. The garage, which looks like a separate little house, has a high-peaked gable roof. Then there's the major gable of the main house, plus a side gable. The composition of those three tall, pointy pieces really speaks strongly to images of house and home in our culture.
Dormers pop in and out of the roof.
And those dormers have all sorts of shapes. Some are round. Some are shed dormers. Some are tiny ones that seem to sprout out of the main roof. You sense the places within those dormers, and you wonder what those places might be like.
