Finishing with the Top

In this final installment of the exterior edition of How to look at houses… (like an architect), we’re moving up from the base, beyond the middle, to the top of home. View the entire exterior-edition video series here.

I hope you'll discover that the more you train your eye on houses, the more you'll see. Warning: house observation, analysis, and interpretation may be addictive.
