Good info, great rendering, but that great 3/4 frontal full view money shot is still missing. :) I have always liked these "Triangle touching ground" A-frame roofs: Very simple in design, very modern, very effective: They could make any structure into a Tiki restaurant, like here, a boxy coffee shop. Here is an example of one, in a side view of the ruins of the Kapu Kai bowling alley. Not the one on the right, but the left one we are seeing from behind: (even though this one is structurally more attached to the main building)
