11. La Cabañita | Sloping Roofs
La Cabañita by Paz Arquitectura on the outskirts of Guatemala City is the perfect ode to a modern pitched roof. The butterfly sloped roof features two angled parts that converge in the center, and perch lightly on the base below- almost as if the roof does not touch the house.
12. Sloped Roof House
The Sloped Roof House by Cañas Arquitectos in Costa Rica is a modernist dream—it features a sharp-angled roof that covers the entire house and frames the views of the bay in delightful ways. Several decks that extend beyond the roofline provide even more stunning views of the hillside.
13. Magush Villa
The Magush Villa by White Cube Atelier in Iran features a dynamic gabled roof that is set at a steep incline to create a monumental structure that mimics the hilly context. The Eastern side of the gabled roof is clad with class instead of the shingles to let the morning sunlight in.
14. Mountain Hill Cabin
The Mountain Hill Cabin by Fantastic Norway architects is not only a cabin—the snow-covered gabled roof turns into a slope for skiing during the winter months!
15. Bardolph Gardens | Sloping Roofs
The Bardolph Gardens by Breathe Architecture in Australia combines the indigenous sensibilities of the context that features brick, with a modernized pitched roof and a perforated wall. This wall seamlessly connects to the roof and lets in light and air throughout the day.
16. Converted Farmhouse
This project by Atelier Tom Vanhee is the conversion of a former farmhouse into a contemporary house that features two pitched roofs that are differentiated materially. Two skylights offer a sharp contrast to the slopes as they stick out from the roofline.
17. Countryside Villa
The Countryside Villa by Maas Architecten in the Netherlands attempts to combine a greenhouse and a cottage in one unique design, and uses a timber roof that stops short of a glass volume to let in plenty of light inside.
18. Hunter’s Hall
The Hunter’s Hall by Bergersen Arkitekter AS in Sweden is a design that seems right out of a Monopoly game. The vertical walls extend to form the roofline in one seamless connection, and together they frame the glass façade.
19. The Cabin in Quebec
The Cabin in Quebec designed by architect Jean Verville consists of a dynamic hooded roof. The dark cladding material used for this sharp angle makes the structure even more imposing and impressive, and makes it stand out in its wooded context.
20. Biesbosch Museum Island | Sloping Roofs
The Biesbosch Museum Island by Studio Marco Vermeulen in the Netherlands is another brilliant example of a green pitched roof used in contemporary ways. The structure almost disappears into the landscape with green spaces that are accessible on the roof, and its glass façade frames views toward the surrounding countryside.
