Why the inverted gable roof?
Can I put a standard Gable on a M:OME? Potentially, but the inverted gable provides the water catchment system, the “white noise” water feature, the optimal photovoltaic roof angle, and the unique M:OME aesthetic while obscuring from vision the roof equipment. In addition, the roof form extending up and out opens views of surrounding ridgelines so prevalent in California and on the Central coast. It accentuates the notion of the indoor/outdoor relationship desirable in our climate, and it phenomenologically invites one to enter into the core of its interior, not to mention inviting the welcome winter sun.
