In architectural design and roof construction, eaves are generally classified into two primary styles based on how they finish the roof edge relative to the building's exterior walls: open eaves and closed (or boxed) eaves. Open eaves leave the rafter tails and roof decking completely exposed to view from underneath, which is characteristic of traditional Craftsman or rustic cabin styles. Closed eaves feature a finished flat panel called a soffit that conceals the rafters entirely, creating a clean, modern look.
