A mansard roof is a four-sided gambrel β steep walls on all four sides with a flat or nearly-flat top. Named after French architect FranΓ§ois Mansart, this design creates a full usable upper story within the roof structure. The steep lower slopes are typically 70Β° and often feature dormer windows.
