Our Favorite Cupolas on Larger Homes

Nothing quite matches the aesthetic beauty of a cupola on a larger home. But larger homes create unique challenges when it comes to choosing a cupola. Long unbroken stretches of roof can require more than one cupola, while multiple rooflines can make placing and sizing a cupola tricky. At Valley Forge Cupolas, you can rely on our cupola specialists’ years of knowledge and experience to help you choose the perfect cupola combination for your larger home. We evaluate your home’s unique characteristics and design a one-of-a-kind cupola that meets your exact needs. Just look at some of the cupolas we’ve created for larger homes:
Picture
When it comes to sizing a cupola, the general rule of thumb is 1.25” of cupola for every foot of unbroken roof ridge line. This means a 24’ roof would have a cupola with a minimum 30” base. However, for extremely long roofs, adjustments must be made. According to the rule of thumb, this 71’ roof should have a 88” cupola, but that would completely overwhelm this single-story home. Instead, a 48” central cupola with two matching 36” cupolas on either end complements the length of the house and adds beauty to the whole roofline without being overwhelming.
Picture
This stunning renovated barn is also too long for a single central cupola. Instead, the homeowners chose twin 42” Ellsworth style cupolas to grace either end of their house. The straight roof of the Ellsworth cupola matches the pitch of the barn roof, while the twin windows mirror the windows below. The homeowners also chose to add louvers to the cupolas, adding both light and ventilation to their attic space.

This photo is the perfect example of how a cupola on a larger home can highlight and emphasize specific features of the home rather than starring as the main focal point. This CNC window cupola (our most popular model) ties in perfectly with the multiple windows of this lovely home. Its height matches the peak of the opposite roof line, pulling them together, while the addition of a cupola lantern causes it to blend seamlessly with the rest of the outdoor lighting.
