What is a long dormer on the slope of a roof, it has no sides, the roofing being carried in a nave line?

• A. Eyebrow
• B. Pulpitum
• C. Cella
• D. Burma

Answer: (A)

A long dormer that sits flush with the roof and has no vertical sides is called an eyebrow dormer. Its defining trait is that the window opening is integrated into the roof itself, with the roofing continuing in the same plane along the slope (the nave line) and little to no side walls visible. This creates a long, shallow projection that literally follows the curve or line of the roof, resembling an eyebrow. Other terms here refer to different architectural concepts or contexts—pulpitum is a raised church platform, cella is the inner chamber of a temple, and Burma is unrelated to dormers—so the eyebrow dormer best fits the description.
