A shed dormer’s eave line is parallel to the eave line of the roof.
Now, the roofline has added visual interest and the front has a focal point.
Repeating beams found on the overhang’s underside make the new window one with the home.
Mixing sizes also prevents a crowded roofline.
Aside from the added architectural interest, the details are what make these dormers so darling.
But the front door tucked beneath the roof’s heavy overhang makes it easy to miss.
