having a small distance from the bottom to the top; not high or tall

a small child stands next to a tiny single-story house with a very short roof that barely reaches above the windows. An adult neighbor points toward the house while comparing it to the tall two-story house right next door. The difference in height creates a striking visual contrast between the structures. Other residents walk by, easily seeing over the shorter building's roofline.  having a small distance from the bottom to the top, not high or tall
