Bow House Inc. is the name of a Massachusetts firm that created architectural designs for homeowners who want houses built along the lines of traditional Cape Cod structures. The bowed roof is an homage to the Cape's connection to the sea; the techniques of making ships are applied to the framing of the roof, which is designed to shed snow and rain and be resistant to winds.
