Traditional and incredibly-popular, the hip roof is a common sight in neighbourhoods throughout New Zealand, particularly on villas and bungalows. On a hip roof, all surfaces slope up and away from the viewer, meeting in a ‘pyramid’ at the top.
As classic as it is striking, the gable roof is defined by two straight slopes which meet at the ridgeline, creating a distinctive triangular shape at the end (the gable). Gable roofs are both durable and cost-effective.
Sleek and stylish, the mono-pitch roof is best suited to contemporary designs. A mono-pitch roof has just one surface which slopes up to a single ridgeline, creating a prominent geometric form and a sharp, minimalist aesthetic.
