The Steep-Gable Cottage

Information

      Structure and Shape
The house is composed of two joined sections: a lower wing on the right and a taller, steeper main section on the left. The overall shape is angular and sharp, characteristic of laser-cut assembly.

The Roof
Dominant Feature: The roof is the most prominent part of the model, sloping down steeply almost to the ground.
Texture: It features a highly detailed, etched grid pattern that simulates rectangular roof tiles or shingles.
Chimney: On the left section, there is a small, boxy chimney protruding from the roof slope, featuring etched brick details.

Walls and Foundation
Brickwork: The lower portion of the walls (the foundation level) features an etched pattern resembling stone or brick masonry, contrasting with the smooth wood above.
Joints: The corners of the house display distinct "finger joints" or box joints (interlocking rectangular teeth), which are the structural connectors typical of laser-cut kits.

Windows and Doors
Left Wing: There is a row of three rectangular windows running along the side wall. The frames are dark brown, created by the laser burning the wood.
Right Wing: this section features two vertical windows on the lower level.
Entrance: On the far right gable end, there is an arched doorway with a recessed door featuring a window pane design, topped by a small attic window near the peak of the roof.
Material and Finish
The house is made of 3mm plywood.
