Thank you very much. This is one of those exam questions. There should be a better way to put this, I guess. Does this sound better? The house whose roof we can see from this window was built by my father.

Not really. In real English we seldom make such constructions; they are mostly for learners to practice: The man whose hat is red is my father. No, no, no.

My father built that house you can see from the window.
