GelbmannDesigns Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago On the show Taskmaster, the Taskmaster house has a very ornate looking gable end, where the (and I've seen other shapes as well) top of the shaped wall extends past the roofline. What would this detail be called? Additionally, how would one achieve this look in Chief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdozier Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago As far as what it called, ChatGPT says..... The type of gable end above the door in the image is called a Dutch gable or sometimes a curvilinear gable. Key Characteristics: It combines elements of a gable with a curved or ornamental profile. This particular design often has scroll-like curves or a bell shape, which was popular in Dutch and Flemish architecture. You’ll see this style frequently on historic buildings in Northern Europe and in areas influenced by Dutch colonial architecture. It’s a decorative variation intended to add character to the facade, and this example showcases a prominent and elegant version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richoffan Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago More specifically it's Dutch Colonial. Very common in the Caribbean. It would be reasonably easy with poly line solids. If you need the properties provided by the wall use an attic wall behind or use an invisible wall and overlay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
