When you build a dormer, there's more to consider than its style alone. It needs to fit in with the general design of the house. If you are adding more than one dormer, you also need to decide how to link or separate them.
Fit into a steeply pitched mansard roof, this shed dormer sits almost flush with the surrounding slates. Mansard roofs are similar to hip roofs except that each side has two parts: a steep section near the walls and a barely slanted section toward the middle of the building. This creates an attic that's fully usable, so it's probably no surprise that dormers often are found on mansard roofs.
