This is a useful design that’s been around for quite a few years in the LEGO community, and can really help add a bit of variation to your tudor style houses.
For this example we’ll start with a 2×8 plate topped with some 1×1 tiles and 1×2 jumper plates.
Then comes the interesting section. 1×2 grill slopes are the key element, and they allow for a 1×2 tile to be placed at a diagonal between them. A stack of four 1×2 plates capped with a 1×2 tile are used in the center gap.
Next use some plates and jumper plates for another horizontal beam.
Between a 1×3 and 1×4 tile it’s easy to attach those jumper plates and the 1×1 plate.
Making a smooth surface ready for another layer of SNOT tudor elements.
The build below gives an example of what the design looks like when used on an actual house.
