Thoughts on this throwback gem?

Hi all,

Help! What would you call this roof style from 1977. It has a flat top, vertical mansard area, with a highly angled flared dutch gable-ish thing? I'm sure it was a very rare and desirable look in the 70s, but how would you break it up or modify it now? The entryway side of the house is well disguised, but you can't put anything in front of that long garage area!

There is no finished space in the attic and it has seriously crosshatched trusses inside. Like every 6 feet. Flat ceilings throughout (and it'd be great to add a tray ceiling in the main living area, but how with those trusses?!?).

I know we would need to get a good architect out here, but I'm looking for initial thoughts. Aside from it looks like Pizza Hut, which is the obvious one. (I'll tell you that all the solar is fan-freaking-tastic!)

Thank you!
