hip roofs/ hipped roofs


Explanation:
A hip roof, or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope.
If I understand well , you mean the traditional Greek roofs.
For Epirus roofs though I would choose ''mansard roof'' or any other type that matches the type of house described.
