As architectural styles have shifted, architects and builders have invented more ways to build dormers, the little rooms that project from a roof and allow more space and light in the top floor or attic.
Polygonal dormers are similar to octagons, except that the back three sides are absent. Because they look out from five directions, they offer a superlative view. On this house, the polygonal dormer on the lower roof teams up with smaller hip-roof dormers that have slanting sides.
