Hip roof

A hip roof, hip-roof or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downward to the walls — thus, a hipped roof has no gables or other vertical sides to the roof. Variants of hipped roofs include the Simple Hip Roof (most common, four slopes meeting at a central ridge), Pyramid Hip Roof (a square base where all four triangular sides meet at a single peak), Cross Hip Roof (with multiple intersecting ridges for L- or T-shaped buildings), and Half Hip Roof (where gable ends are partially "clipped" with a small hip section).
