"A clerestory roof is a roof with a vertical wall which sits between the two sloping sides, which features a row of windows (or one long, continuous window). The clerestory roof can be symmetrical, with a hipped or gable-type design, or else it can be asymmetrical, resembling something closer to a skillion roof."

"A clerestory roof is a vertical wall with a row of windows above the roof line. These roofs feature two sloping sides – one under the row of windows and one on top. The purpose of a clerestory roof is to maximize natural light and allow for ventilation."

"A clerestory roof is a sloping roof made up of high and low-slung roof panels that are joined in the center by a flat wall. The sloping difference between the panels allows for window space, which is used to bring natural light into a building."
