I can't find how to translate the key word of my note : the word use to name this kind of gable (wall), typical of Flanders. I found "saw-tooth" but I'm not sure it's correct !!!

I found various explanations for this architecture, some saying that flemish owners were taxed on the width of their houses, so perhaps the height of the house compensated for narrowness ? I also sorted out that it could be a transfer of traditionnal farm architecture to the cities. In the farms, this kind of gable was used to prevent thatch to fall down and from the rain and wind in order to not have it rotten quickly (the gables were higher than the roof and exposed on the west, facing the bad weather).

I hope it's understandable !!!

Salut Marion

Quel cadrage impeccable encore ! Tu as fait magistralement (oui desfois, je m'emballe sur le vocabulaire, ahah) ressortir la manière dont les deux escaliers encadrent la fenêtre, et tu as su créer une symétrie parfaite.
La combinaison des tuiles et des briques est sympa et offre un fort contraste, lequel est le bienvenu par ce manque de lumière.
Un coup d'oeil à la Marion, bravo.

Bises, et bon week-end
Karine

Bonsoir Marion,
Joli coup d'oeil pour repérer ces ouvertures qui constituent un sujet très graphique. La symétrie est bien gérée, le jeu des lignes très intéressant.
Amicalement,
Olivier
