Roofs
If your looking for a real estate buzz word ask a real estate agent but they are simply referred to as shed roofs, or perhaps interlocking shed roofs . . . in da business . .

Roofs
These architectural roof forms were common in the '70s. Your picture appears to be a residence . . probably light wood framing with 8" shiplap wood siding. The roof form lends itself to single span roof framing of dimension lumber or trus-joists with open high ceilings. The interlocking forms are easily aligned with interior walls to form combinations of two storey and single storey vaulted spaces. The forms evolved from some of the more symetrical gable roofed houses and those of the east coast houses known as Cape Cod and "salt box". They were characterized by simple roof lines with little or no roof eaves overhang. The shed roof, which is one half of a single gable roof form is sometimes used in combinations with a saltbox or gable to create dramatic changes in roof line.
This style of house generally lends itself to some form of wood or vinyl siding, stucco or wall shingles.in combination with wood or asphalt shingle, shakes or standing seam metal roofing.
I could not find much on the internet, but go to your local library and dig out Architectural Record Magazine (Houses Edition) They issue one with nothing but houses each year. Other magazines are Architectural Digest or Progressive Architecture.

Fish,I was involved in residential design in the lower mainland for about 10 years. If that house is in Vancouver, I would dare call it an "Updated West Coast Contempory" The previous reply was correct in calling them shed roofs, but that house has little to do with saltbox or cape cod styles. Try looking around Sunshine Hills in Delta to see what people have done with that kind of house. I's certainly be willing to give some pointers if you'd like. I've got references and papers
