  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard They All Taxed For You: Shotguns, Camelbacks and More The Louvre in Paris, the Cabildo and Presbytère in the French Quarter, 1960s motor hotels, Lake Avenue apartments and early “Popeye’s Fried Chicken” outlets have what in common? The answer, of course, is the Mansard roof. After all, what exemplifies this architectural style more faithfully than Hawaiian black lava rock topped with red synthetic roof tiles? Architects and the late Al Copeland may have disagreed on this subject, but the history of the Mansard is still most interesting. The Mansard roof refers to a type of hip roof with two slopes on each of its four sides with the lower slope being much steeper, virtually vertical. The upper slope is usually not visible from the ground and is pitched just enough to shed water. For all intents and purposes, this is an additional story disguised as a roof. Sometimes, for decorative effect, the pitch is curved with impressive dormers. In modern commercial construction, the upper pitch has often been substituted with a flat roof. The Cabildo in New Orleans Mansard elevation, 1868 The architect, Francois Mansart (1598 - 1666), popularized the roof style known as Mansard, a misspelling of his name. The central portico of the Richelieu Wing of the Louvre is a fine example. In the years that French houses were taxed by the number of floors beneath the roof, the Mansard style afforded a clever way to avoid paying the tax collector. A revival of Mansard occurred in the 1850s rebuilding of Paris, and that era is called Second Empire.

  • Living Tradition Adding to Our Heritage with More Homes and Sustainable Intensification Living Tradition
    Create Streets Briefing Paper August 2021 Samuel Hughes Living tradition Adding to our heritage with more homes and sustainable intensification Living Tradition Foreword by Christopher Boyle QC Former Chairman of the Georgian Group (2015-2020) The mansard is one of the defining features of the Georgian and Victorian skyline. In eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain, the right of property owners to add mansards went without question: the idea that local governments would one day forbid them would have been viewed with puzzlement. The form of mansards was, however, tightly controlled by a series of Building Acts which governed their height, inclines and materials, as well as regulating their parapets, party walls, chimney stacks and dormers. These regulations led to a distinctive British tradition of mansard design, readily distinguished from those of France or Germany. This fascinating report proposes that we allow this great tradition to be revived. On terraces on which some of the buildings have mansards already, owners of the remaining buildings would enjoy a presumption in favour of permission to add new ones, provided that they followed a design guide ensuring that the new mansards conformed to the best traditions of historic mansard design. On terraces on which none of the buildings have mansards yet, residents would be able to vote for the right to add them, with the same proviso. It is profoundly important that we cherish our architectural heritage, a cause on which I worked during my five years as Chairman of the Georgian Group. Cherishing this heritage involves fighting the demolition of historic buildings, just as it involves fighting alterations that would damage their character.

  • Air in (Intake Vents). Air out (Exhaust Vents). That's Attic Ventilation in A
    Air in (intake vents). Air out (exhaust vents). That’s attic ventilation in a nutshell. But it’s not always that simple depending on the complexity of the roof’s configuration. We asked roofing contractors who attend our best practices in residential attic ventilation seminars: "What roofs are the most challenging to properly ventilate and why?" These roofers did not design the houses, nor did they build them. But they were hired to replace the roofs and address the attic ventilation. To help fight potentially damaging heat and moisture buildup inside an attic as well as ice dams in cold climates, attic ventilation should be a balanced system of intake vents (in the soffit/overhang or low on the roof) and exhaust vents (at or near the roof’s peak). The following types of roofs were identified as particularly challenging to achieve balanced attic ventilation. As you’re about to read, roofing contractors do the best with the cards they’ve been dealt. FROM LEFT: Hip roof with hip ridge vents diagonally; hip roof with power fan; hip roof with ridge vents both horizontally and diagonally. Hip Roofs A “hip roof” has limited or no horizontal roof peak (ridge) but does have multiple diagonal “hips.” Hip roofs often have elevation changes from the peak of one portion of the roof to the next portion below. Roofing contractors refer to it as a “cut up roof.” One of the reasons this roof type is challenging is its design does not automatically allow the use of horizontal ridge vents for exhaust. Many contractors prefer and are accustomed to using horizontal ridge vents.

  • ROOFING Town of Riverhead Landmarks Preservation Commission GUIDELINES for ROOFING
    GUIDELINES FOR ROOFING Town of Riverhead Landmarks Preservation Commission GUIDELINES FOR ROOFING PURPOSE These Guidelines were prepared to assist property owners with information when considering the repair, alteration or installation of roofing. It is not intended that these Guidelines should replace consultation with qualified architects, contractors, the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), Architectural Review Board (ARB) and applicable ordinances. This represents one of the few commercial buildings on Main Street with a highly decorative roof treatment. This Mansard roof is covered with three colors of fish scale slate installed in a decorative pattern and trimmed along its edges with painted metal flashing. A series of steeply pitched gable roof dormers with projecting eaves provide additional habitable space at the upper level. Also note the projecting roof cornice with the paired decorative brackets, typical of the Victorian period. These Guidelines were developed in conjunction with the Town of Riverhead’s Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) and Architectural Review Board Residential buildings, particularly those from the Victorian (ARB). Please review this information during the period, tend to have very complex roof forms that can include early stages of planning your project. Familiarity intersecting gables, dormers and towers. with this material can assist in moving a project quickly through the approval process, saving ROOFS applicants both time and money. A building’s roof provides the first line of defense The LPC and ARB encourage informal against the elements and its design greatly affects the informational meetings with potential applicants overall appearance of a building. Therefore, the who are considering a project that might include following functional and aesthetic concerns should be exterior changes to their properties.

  • Roof Alterations & Extensions
    Roof SPGBH Alterations & note 1 Extensions What is an SPG? A Supplementary Planning Guidance Note (SPG) is one of many material considerations that can be taken into account when determining a planning application. It is intended to provide helpful guidance for the developer, consistent with the provisions of the statutory Local Plan. This SPG Note is one of a series produced by the Environmental Services Department and it is to be read in conjunction with the Council’s statutory local plan(s). The guidance is also based on that contained in the Government’s Planning Policy Guidance Note PPG15 – Planning and the Historic Environment, and English Heritage’s Listed Buildings Guidance Leaflets on Mansard Roofs and Dormers. This Guidance Note was approved by the Land Use, Transportation and Highways Management Sub-Committee on 24th February 1999 following public consultation and consequential amendment, as a material consideration for the purposes of development control. It supplements policies BE1, BE5, BE6, BE8, BE9, BE12 and BE19 of the Hove Borough Local Plan 1995, policies ENV.1, ENV.3, ENV.5, ENV.6, ENV.22, ENV.31 and ENV.40 of the Brighton Borough Local Plan 1995 and policies B.2, B.16, B.19 and B.20 of the Brighton and Hove Local Plan Review Part A, which was published for development control purposes in 1997. Introduction It is the firm belief of the Council that good design should be the aim of any alterations and additions throughout Brighton and Hove. Poorly designed or excessively bulky roof top additions can seriously harm the appearance of the property and in some cases decrease its value.

  • 2.5 Roofs, Gutters and Downspouts
    2 Changes to the Building Exterior 2.5 Roofs, Gutters, and Downspouts The roof form and pitch are among the major distinguishing characteristics of a historic building. Roofs can be flat, pitched, hipped, curved, or arranged in various combinations. In Covington, Second Empire style buildings are defined by mansard roof forms as shown on photograph below. The roofing material can also be a defining and distinguishing characteristic of a historic building. Historic roofing material includes, standing seam metal, slate, wood or metal shingles, and clay tiles. Asphalt and asbestos shingles became popular roofing materials in the twentieth century both for new construction and for reroofing earlier buildings. Roofs have many elements that are character Examples of dormers, chimney, cornice, and eaves defining, including chimneys, dormers, cornices, and eaves. Chimneys are typically supported by a masonry foundation or reinforced concrete. Chimney stacks are constructed of brick or masonry with the flue located inside of the stack. The crown, or cap, is placed on top of the chimney to prevent water damage from occurring within the stack. The flue penetrates the cap allowing the smoke to leave the structure. Chimneys must be constructed with flashing along the roof base to prevent water damage to the roof. Dormers project from the roof of a building and contain a window as shown in the photograph below. The vertical sides of the dormer should match the exterior walls or the roof of the building, usually being either sided, brick, or slate. Dormers are usually topped with a gable roof and may have eaves or cornices that match the rest of the building.
