Porous concrete solid roof as a tent roof for a city villa

What is a gable/hip roof? One side with a gable and one with a hip? :) Do you use the attic as living space and if so, how is it with roof windows in a solid roof?

Google: crippled hip roof

The attic is not converted, but it is accessible and used only as storage space.

Windows can certainly be installed as if in a solid wall ... :) But in our case, they are in the dormer.

I have not thought about this roof shape at all until now, thanks for the tip. However, I imagine dormers in a solid roof to be complicated.

Many development plans haven’t either, and on a square floor plan it would also look, in my opinion, very off-putting.

Basically, yes.

The alleged advantages and disadvantages of the half-hipped roof can be found abundantly through Google. I find this roof shape more appealing than, for example, a classic gable roof. The disadvantage is that dormer windows can only be installed more awkwardly on the gable ends of the roof—if one wants windows there at all, since they cost money and nowadays might fall victim to budget cuts. This roof shape is not very common around here, and I cannot consciously think of another house with it right now. New buildings generally have a hip roof or a gable roof.

The (solid) house builder surely has a well-developed concept to offer.

The gable ends in the half-hipped roof would be the gables – in the slopes above them, dormer windows could theoretically be installed, although I do not recall having seen that before, and it wouldn’t be awkward either (?)

The (solid) house builder surely has a mature concept to offer.

Regarding the general contractor, I dare to doubt that, but I already saw such things in the construction manuals of the aerated concrete manufacturers when the wall (AIS) was still standing.
