hips, and eaves and gables, oh my!


My brain is mashed potatoes right now. I've been staring at this roof plan for a senior living home for 9 hours straight. Why is it that something that seems SO simple is SO hard to understand? It's basically a bunch of 45 degree angles that should theoretically all connect and drain water off the building.

    I am loving the way you are connecting the images to the writing!

    Sometimes with a roof plan the problem is that the plan can't be stuffed into the nice geometries that a roof plan demands - its the compartmentalized thinking - do a plan, then a section and then oops now we need to force it into a form ...
