Street gable

A dark gable on a pale house. One ridge, level eaves, nothing extra.

A pale contemporary house with a dark tiled gable, seen from the street in late light.

From the pavement the roof is a single decision: a dark tile, a ridge that does not wander, eaves that sit level with the houses beside it.

The care is in the setting out. Courses that meet the barge cleanly. Flashings that disappear into the line instead of sitting on top of it.

The ridge is the line the street actually reads.
