Historians may point to utilitarian reasons such as snow accumulation and fire mitigation as driving factors but the pitched roof has evolved for reasons that exceed practical explanation. While climate, typology and available materials are all factors that contribute to a roofline&#8217;s appearance, the association of a pitched roof to the concept of <em>home<\/em> is undeniable. Just think of the first drawings of a house penned by a young child: usually, two vertical lines are joined by two slanted ones that meet in the middle to form a pitch.<\/p>\n<p>As building technology has become more and more sophisticated over the past century, the role of the pitched roof has also changed. The introduction of flat roofs allowed dozens of feet to be added to a building&#8217;s height while avoiding the awkward and truncated spaces of typical attics. Likewise, flat roofs introduced additional outdoor spaces and functions that were much needed in densifying urban areas. Beginning with commercial buildings and skyscrapers, flat roofs became increasingly synonymous with 20th century design; even private, modern residences latched on to them. On the other hand, as suburbs sprawled, pitched roofs became a cookie-cutter device, replicated across urban peripheries.<\/p>\n<p>Even still, many hearts still reserve space for the iconic slopes of a pitched roof, and building profiles with sloping planes continues to connote the shelter that humans seek in a home. The following seven A+Award-winning projects demonstrate that the age of the pitched roof is far from over and that tented profiles can be playful and unique. Playing with the image of <em>home<\/em> by multiplying peaks, shifting to asymmetrical profiles, and experimenting with ratios of vertical rise over horizontal span, this new era of home design revels in the architectural comfort of a tented roof.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-88889 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-2.jpeg\" alt=\"contemporary pitched roof \" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-2.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-2-66x50.jpeg 66w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-2-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-88890 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-3.jpeg\" alt=\"contemporary pitched roof \" width=\"2000\" height=\"1632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-3.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-3-300x245.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-3-1024x836.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-3-768x627.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-3-1536x1253.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-3-368x300.jpeg 368w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-88892 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-5.jpeg\" alt=\"contemporary pitched roof \" width=\"1600\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-5.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-5-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-5-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-5-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gardenhouse-by-MAD-Architects-5-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/gardenhouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Gardenhouse<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/mad-architects-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MAD Architects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Beverly Hills, CA, United States<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Residential &#8211; Multi Unit Housing &#8211; Mid Rise (5-15 Floors)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Set in the verdant urban landscape of Beverly Hills, this mixed-use scheme consists of 18 residential units.

As with many such villages, this area faces rural decline and new self-contained buildings superimpose themselves onto the land, creating a larger and larger separation between the residents.<\/p>\n<p>With its combination of high pitched A-frame and low pitched gabled entrances, Hara House seeks to combat the social ills of fully self-reliant building by extending the building envelope to create a larger semi-public space. Aspiring to be a buoyant and bustling hub where neighbors, friends and children can easily stop by, activities within the house spill out to the land, thus bringing down the threshold domestic space and village.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-88884 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1.jpeg\" alt=\"contemporary pitched roof\" width=\"2362\" height=\"1772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1.jpeg 2362w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1-66x50.jpeg 66w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-1-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2362px) 100vw, 2362px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item alignleft wp-image-88885 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2362\" height=\"1772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2.jpeg 2362w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2-66x50.jpeg 66w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-2-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2362px) 100vw, 2362px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_88887\" style=\"width: 1343px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88887\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88887 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-4.jpeg\" alt=\"contemporary pitched roof\" width=\"1333\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-4.jpeg 1333w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-4-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-4-682x1024.jpeg 682w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-4-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Community-Center-Grossweikersdorf-4-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-88887\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photos by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/dimitar-gamizov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dimitar Gamizov<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&amp;<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/joerg-seiler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">J\u00f6rg Seiler<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/community-center-grossweikersdorf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Community Center Grossweikersdorf<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/smartvoll-architekten-zt-kg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smartvoll<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Gro\u00dfweikersdorf, Austria<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Institutional &#8211; Government &amp; Civic Buildings\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This new community center nestled within a row of houses at the heart of the village; however, the new building rotated 90 degrees to distinguish it from the residential structures.
