   Interesting.  Have you been inside?  Do you suppose the windows in it function like windows in a cupola, in other words, they let light into a shaft chamber punched up into the ceiling of a room below?

   Yeah, I tiled the backsplash in the new kitchen for the new owners of that house. It works like a skylight for the staircase and entry.

   What an interesting design feature.  Where is the home?

   I'd call that a dormer on the hip ridge.  Never seen one before.  I think it would look quite odd on a simple hip roof, but not bad on this one.

   Do you know how the rof over the window(s) ties back to the main roof?

   No, I think the framing would be fascinating though.

   Don't show it to my missus, she'll wnat one on our dream house. Would be an interesting framing challenge.Let's not confuse the issue with facts!
