Need inspiration for minimalist house roofs? Take a peek here!

The roof is like the crown of a house; its presence can give character to a dwelling. However, when choosing a roof design, considerations should not be limited to functional aspects alone. Aesthetic elements also need to be considered. Interestingly, you can find both of these aspects in minimalist house roofs.

Among the various types of roof models, minimalist house roofs often become a popular choice, especially in the modern era like today. But why is that? Here are some advantages of minimalist designs that make them favored by many:

1. Elegant Simplicity

Minimalist house roofs tend to have simple designs with clean lines, featuring straight lines without many ornaments or decorations. This creates an elegant and modern appearance that aligns with the minimalist design philosophy, which emphasizes simplicity.

2. Visual Balance

In design, balance is crucial. With minimalist roof design, this is very achievable. With clean lines and proportional proportions, minimalist roof design harmoniously integrates with other elements of home design.

3. Space Efficiency

Compared to other types of designs, minimalist roof designs are much more efficient and space-saving. Because they don't take up much vertical space, it allows for more optimal outdoor utilization.

The Best Minimalist House Roof Models that Could be An Inspiration for Your Home

Minimalist house roofs play a crucial role in determining the aesthetics and character of a home. Although called minimalist, these roofs showcase various unique models with their own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some forms of minimalist house roofs that can serve as references:

1. Flat Roof

M House on Sersan Bajuri Street, West Bandung Regency, uses COLORBOND® for its flat roof.

This type of roof is considered very popular in minimalist house designs. With its flat and almost slope-less shape, this roof provides a modern and elegant appearance.

The flat design makes the installation of this type of roof relatively easy. The use of a rooftop as an outdoor space is also highly feasible. Maintenance is also straightforward.

2. Gable Roof

Kinala Residence uses COLORBOND® for its gable roof.

The gable roof is a classic example of a minimalist roof shaped like a triangle, leaving space underneath it. Compared to other roof designs, the gable roof has several advantages, such as easy installation and maintenance, as well as a good drainage system.

3. Sloped Roof

Starbucks Shilla Sawangan in Bojong Sari uses COLORBOND® for its sloped roof.

Sloped roofs are suitable for use in tropical climates. The reason is quite clear, namely because of their ability to withstand sunlight exposure and effectively drain rainwater. Sloped roof designs also help maintain optimal air circulation.

If you're considering implementing a sloped roof, be cautious of temperature changes. This type of roof is vulnerable to cracks due to temperature variations and requires more materials if the slope is steeper.

4. Shield Roof

The characteristic feature of a shield roof is its pyramid-shaped shield-like form, which gives the house a simple yet unique appearance. This type of roof has good balance and can effectively drain rainwater. Moreover, shield roofs are even resistant to snow.

Unfortunately, shield roofs tend to be difficult to install due to their more complex structure and larger area. This results in the need for more materials, making the installation costs relatively expensive.

5. Three-Trapezoid Roof

From its name, you might already have an idea about this type of roof. Yes, the three-trapezoid roof has three sections with the same slope. This design gives the house a more spacious appearance, allowing for the utilization of the space beneath the roof as an attic. Visually, the three-trapezoid roof is also unique.

Generally, three-trapezoid roofs use concrete tiles or ceramic materials. With the right choice of materials, the risk of leakage can be minimized.
