Shed Style (some times called modified lean-to roof)refers to a style of architecture that makes use of planar angled roofs (commonly called "shed roofs") as opposed to the common gable roof, and a heavy overall use of exposed wooden surfaces. Such structures are often inspired by traditional mountain lodge architecture, but much more modernistic in their execution, typically appearing as a conglomeration of wedge-shaped forms. Shed style architecture experienced most of its popularity in the 1970s, where it was commonly used for houses, schools and small office buildings. The style largely died out in urban areas in the late 1980s, mostly due to the high maintenance requirements of the wooden exteriors, but has remained popular in forested regions.
