Fraternal Twin Dormers?

I'm a lover of asymmetry, but uneven side-by-side dormers? Pretty novel and pretty rare. Conjoined gable dormers, with identical pitch and mass, are fairly common, but a staggered sawtooth? The refrain: pretty novel and pretty rare.


Gable dormers have a gabled roof, with two sloping planes that meet at a central ridge. Sometimes, they're called doghouse dormers.



The photographic angle distorts slightly, but what an ensemble: an uneven pitch (like the images above), with a "walkout"/porch, and the icing on the cake--over-lapping bargeboards (see criss-cross, ad nauseam).
