The Chateau Chambord instead of having one large roof consists of many smaller roofs decorated with dormer windows. The banqueting houses facade shows the symmetry found in English renaissance buildings. also note the smaller windows on the first floor while the higher floors have larger windows, this is for security reasons. The Ducal palace has a large courtyard area used for entertaining.

The renaissance doesnt seem like a new movement just alot of different movements mashed together.
