Steep-Pitched Roofs
Another distinctive feature of Le Parisien is its steep roof lines. This design originated with thatched roofs, to enable them to shed rain and snow quickly. It still serves well to avoid the formation of ice dams during the many freezes and thaws of our northern winters. From the outside, the angle of our 15/12 pitch poses a more striking form than the relatively squat pitches we are accustomed to today. On the inside this pitch allows for open-peaked cathedral ceilings. This creates an expansive atmosphere over the living space and also allows for mezzanine bedroom lofts. |
