I have been calling this home which is a few miles from where I live as being a barrel vault hip roof.
Older and wiser men have told me barrel vault hip roofs don’t exist.
**
So what is this roof style?**
Mansard
Barrel vault Mansard?
Well, it is definitely a Vault. And the end wall looks like a vaulted hip.
One of the last projects I did at a College had a tapered barrel vault.
I got a bit of feedback for claiming there is such a thing as a barrel vault truss for hip roofs.
My question then is:
Is there a barrel vault hip?
Nice roof Marcel, I couldn’t even imagine laying that one out.
Must of had a good tape measure and helper?
Well there is a design for a Barrel Vault w/ a hemispherical ends and a Trough Vault.
Never seen either one though.
Yep! Barrel vault with Hipped Mansard .
It is not a Mansard Roof.
Stirring it up Roy?
Its a trough which is basically a hip with rounded features.
It ain’t no Mansard!
cep’ mey’be down South:mrgreen:
Well it kind of fits the definition.
mansard roof
- a roof that has four sloping sides, each of which becomes steeper halfway down.
That graphic shows a Gambrel roof.
True, but it points out the “mansard” section of roof.
It would be a Mansard if all of the sides were like that. With gable ends, it’s a Gambrel.
Like the one Paul is asking about?
I would call it a Dome roof myself (probably not architecturally correct). A barrel roof has gable ends on a rounded roof. A barrel vaulted roof has a barrel ceiling also.
Groined roof with clipped gable dormers???
I’d love to see that from inside the attic.
Cloistered vault. :roll:
Cloistered arch made with hip trusses?
I’m giving up on this one.
I think Kennith has it…Cloistered Arch (not vault). Never heard of it though.
