Gable or Tower?
#1 11-03-2013 
I'm getting zero opinions over on MTs so I thought I'd post here as well. The house I'm working on has a diagonal front area which has been giving me all kind of grief to roof. I decided for the porch area to use tile with edging and then above I have one version with a diagonal gable and another version with a low tower. I can't decide which way I like better. The tower version has a mess of roof inside that tower but it’s hidden with ceiling tile and roof unless you look. (ignore weird paint etc)

That's a hard call! They both look great. I suppose it really depends on what sort of house you're building - the tower suits a Victorian style place, and the gable suits a more ranch style place.

I vote for Gable, the tower just looks odd to me.

Thanks, after staring at it for so long I just thought it all looked messy. I'll think I keep to the diagonal gable which is closer to the house plan I based it off. The tower was suggested to me on the MTS building group, but I'm wondering now if that is too many different kinds of roofs. It has gable, that cone type that I forget the name of and hipped. It's 'country style' according to the site.

I'm a simple fellow so keeping the roof types around the same looks better in my eyes.

Have to say the gable, don't like the tower at all. The gable gives character to the house, where the tower makes the overall appearance austere.

I have to agree with Xander and Michelle. The gable looks better. Smile
