What is a "gable"?
A gable is the triangular upper part of a wall that forms the end of a pitched roof. It is created by the sloping sides of the roof meeting at a peak, giving the building its distinctive shape. Gables can vary in style, height, and decoration, and they often feature windows or other architectural elements that enhance the building's appearance. Common in various architectural styles, gables not only provide visual interest but also help with water drainage, preventing rain and snow from accumulating on the roof. They are a key element in defining the overall character of a structure.
Example
The Tudor-style house had a steeply pitched gable roof, giving it a distinctive silhouette.
Το σπίτι στυλ Tudor είχε μια απότομη τριγωνική οροφή, δίνοντάς του μια διακριτή σιλουέτα.
The church 's facade was adorned with a large gable, accentuating the grandeur of the entrance.
Η πρόσοψη της εκκλησίας ήταν διακοσμημένη με μια μεγάλη ακαδημαϊκή, πίνακας, τονίζοντας τη μεγαλοπρέπεια της εισόδου.
