Problem
A roof that simply stops — cut off flat at the ridge or eaves — leaves the building's outline unfinished, with no point where the eye can come to rest against the sky.
Solution
Crown the roof with a deliberate finishing element — a ridge, a small cap, or a modest turret — that completes the silhouette and gives the building a clear high point against the sky.
