Stair Designs
Winder Stairs have pie shaped steps, not very safe (ankel breaker), and is used when there is not enough space available for "L" Stairs.
"U" Stairs have one landing, flights are parallel and have a 180 degrees turn.
Double "L" Stairs have two landings, so two turns, used when no space is available for Straight Run Stairs or "L" Stairs, also more expensive and breaks up floor plan.

Roof Designs
The Shed roof is similar to the shed roof but has a steeper pitch. Frequently used for addtions or combinations with other roof types.
The Mansard roof is a French roof, and becoming more popular. Is difficult to build but has great lines.
The Hip roof, is slightly more difficult to build, but is still a popular roof. Does not ventilate well and increases the chance for leakage because of the hips and valleys.
The Gambrel roof, also known as the Barn roof provided additional head room. It is known as the Barn roof because used extensively on barns.
The Gable roof is a very popular roof: is easy to build, sheds water well, good ventilation, and is applicable to many house shapes and designs. The Folded Panel roof, is a contemporary design, and is most popular with motels and small commercial buildings.
