This roof has a lot going on. There were very few common rafters due to hips on the back corner of the house and all the little pop-ups in the front. The winding staircase offloads onto nine different floor levels. The 4 gabled roof in the center of the building tops it off.

"This roof has a lot going on" - hahaha - that's the understatement of the year. Maybe you could put a few cupolas up there, just to dress it up a little! =)
I wish I had pics of the back of this house, but it overlooks the inland waterway and I don't have a boat.
I THINK THIS IS A VERY SHARP LOOKING HOUSE.I SAY THE MORE WINDOWS THE BETTER. I LOVE NATURAL LIGHT.
