The Oblique Roof

An oblique roof, also known as a skewed or slanted roof, refers to a roof that does not have a symmetrical pitch or slope.

Instead of meeting at a central ridge line, as in traditional gabled roofs, the two planes of an oblique roof might meet off-centre or have different slopes.

This design choice can be both functional and aesthetic. For instance, an oblique roof might direct rainwater or snow to a particular side of a building, or it might be chosen simply for its unique and contemporary appearance.
