Man, do the proportions on this house bug me. It's fine to have a gable to one side, but two different kinds of dormer next to one another is a bad look. The proper dormer is way too close to the gable wall, and tries to hide how badly that lump of brickwork with the door integrates with the rest of the structure, while the pseudo-dormer looks like a completely unnecessary afterthought. Skylights in general are usually just a pain in the ass because they invariably leak, because cutting a giant hole in your roof is - get this - A BAD IDEA!

Maybe there's a good excuse. Sometimes oddities like this are a result of a home being built in stages over many decades. All too often. though, it's planned to be that bad from the start.

I did not know you had an architectural streak! Jumping on the old tyre and falling through that bad roof seemed a bad idea. Just to the left (off picture) were security cameras. You never know if they are working or not.

I have a background in drafting and design. I know just enough to be dangerous and pretentious.
