Platform roof

Example of a platform roof : Oberkötzschenbroda primary school building

A platform roof , also known as an old roof , is a flat (slightly inclined) or flattened roof that is accessible. It is bevelled on the sides. The platform roof is thus a combination of the pitched roof (on the edge) and the flat roof (in the center).

Lueger set the condition for the designation platform that the height should be 1 / 10–1 / 20 of the width.

In the 19th century, such a roof was covered with metal, asphalt or according to the Dorn method .

The Berlin roof is a similar, more asymmetrical roof shape .
