Dormer and Roof

[stager386]

Is there a name for this type of dormer? It's a little different than what I am used to.

Thank you!

Not exactly dormer... Those are referred to as gables.

 

Reverse gables to be specific. Meaning that they run perpendicular to the primary ridge line. 

 

Shingle style houses are known to have the roof edges begin at the first floor eaves. 

 

Here's an example.

 

Two primary gables with a dormer in between. A dormer is smaller by nature.
