Explanation |
 |
 |
Identical triangles form the roofs to
all of the photos in this sequence. Four
face-up triangles create the entire hip roof to this small, basic square
building. |
 |
 |
Two face-down triangles form a
ridge
pole expanding square roof (above) to create a rectangular roof using eight
triangles and enclosing twice the area of the square. |
 |
 |
Two more face-down triangles expand
rectangular roof (above) to an "L" shape with a valley. Twelve
triangles enclose an area three times that of the square above. |
 |
 |
Additional triangles expand the
"L" shape further using twenty
triangles and enclosing five times the area of the square. |
 |
 |
Four small triangles form into a
larger triangle. Four large triangles create a new square design using sixteen
triangles and enclosing an area four times that of the original square. |
 |
 |
Additional rows of triangles may be
added to the large triangle above creating an elongated roof panel. The
rectangular building shown includes twenty-four triangles and encloses six times the area
of the original square. |
 |
 |
The rectangular area above can be
enclosed with partial or full gabled roofs, or alternative roof slopes.
The footprint (floor-plan) remains the same and each layout uses
twenty-four triangles. |
 |
 |
Pre-manufactured roof triangles fit
together with such precision it is even possible to change the roof pitch
part way up the roof, as shown. |
 |
 |
Small roof sections above connect to
larger roofs allowing for dormers, additions, entryways - to seamlessly
connect. Building shown uses twenty-eight of the original triangles. |
 |
 |
Unique wall sections allow for easily
incorporating stylish 45° gables into square and rectangular building
designs. This example uses twenty-five
triangles. |
 |
 |
Despite limiting ourselves
to using multiple copies of identical 3-D roof triangles, our design
possibilities seem to be unlimited... |
