The top floor of the building was used for wool treatment and therefore required the natural light offered by the striking saw-tooth roof line.

The shed was brick-built with a saw-tooth roof and could accommodate six locomotives.

The factory was a high status operation whose brick workshops used the latest saw-tooth roof line, glazed to maximise natural light.

One of innovations that he introduced to Australian architecture while working for Blacket was the saw-tooth roof for industrial building, which was employed at Mort's Woolstore.

When it finally closed in the 1990s it was very dilapidated, but NZHPT supported restoration of the Category 1 historic place, retaining original windows, big sliding doors and the saw-tooth roof.

The trusses were, in fact, paired with the sawtooth roof passing through them.

The interior is lighted by two sawtooth roof monitors.

Another roof-angled glass alternative is a "sawtooth roof" (found on older factories).

In 1921, the original packing house burned and a metal structure with an iconic sawtooth roof was constructed to replace it.

Individual features include sawtooth roofs, clerestory windows, light shelves, skylights and light tubes.

The line shafts from the engine would pass into a large single-storey weaving shed with its characteristic sawtooth roof with north lights.

Sawtooth roofs have vertical roof glass facing away from the equator side of the building to capture diffused light (not harsh direct equator-side solar gain).

Mr. Cole and his partner, Wally Marks, renovated the 1930's Helms Bakery building, restoring the original hardwood floors and sawtooth roof.

He attempted to introduce modern aesthetics into children's toys by developing a building kit that consisted of sawtooth roofs, cones, and pieces in the colors of red, blue, and white (this remained a prototype).

"Sawtooth roof glazing" with vertical-glass-only can bring some of the passive solar building design benefits into the core of a commercial or industrial building, without the need for any roof-angled glass or skylights.

The sawtooth roof's lighting concept partially reduces the summer "solar furnace" skylight problem, but still allows warm interior air to rise and touch the exterior roof glass in the cold winter, with significant undesirable heat transfer.

Additional buildings include the fish hatchery lab, a 1967 brick building, the distinctive Sawtooth Building (ca. 1964) or Wet Laboratory, another hatchery building with a sawtooth roof profile, and several apartments.

Deep plan buildings introduce complications for light and ventilation penetration that are relatively easily solved for single story buildings (for example using sawtooth roofs) but usually necessitate artificial lighting and air conditioning or ventilation if over one story.

The building forms a facade to the more utilitarian sawtooth roof factory behind but is detached from it, separated by a landscaped courtyard garden but linked by a continuous cantilevered loading bay canopy which forms the fourth side of the courtyard.

Over the spring and summer, the architects worked away on the design, polishing and making small changes - moving the building back two feet, knocking a few feet off the height of the tower and erasing a sawtooth roof detail - while the Arts Council went ahead with its fund-raising, getting $3.6 million of the $4 million they needed for the project.
