monopitch roof

In the late 16th century they were superseded by the "lectern" type, rectangular with a monopitch roof sloping fairly steeply in a suitable direction.

An architectural design trends towards Mediterranean-style flat roofs (a traditional dry-climate design), low-angle monopitch roofs and buildings without eaves also factored in.

In November 1957, some 50 of Hatfield's two-storey terraced houses lost their monopitch roofs in a storm and the adverse publicity and financial liability ended his business.

Phantassie Doocot is an unusual example of the beehive type topped with a monopitch roof, and Finavon Doocot of the lectern type is the largest doocot in Scotland, with 2,400 nesting boxes.
