What you are looking at
A cross-hipped roof has hips going in several directions, and they meet at a few points over the middle of the house. Those meeting points are where cap shingles from different hips overlap, so they get set by hand.
Hip roofs hold up well in wind because there is no flat gable wall for it to push against. That only helps if the caps are fastened right, so each one is nailed and lapped the same way.
The rear deck sits right below the lowest roof plane, so the edge of the roof is easy to see from the yard. That edge runs straight and even all the way across.
