my renovation project: the roof
On to the roof project. I would like to maintain the sharp lines in the original architectural design. The Porch House above has a silver metal roof. The drip edge and the gutters are non-descript. Note how the roof line is not distracting and blends into the fascia. And the square gutters used on this project maintain a modern feel. The modern design is fresh. Where can I find some box gutters? Originally, my home was designed without gutters on all but one side. There's a lot more inspiration from Hufft. I love the Shed!
I love this black roof as well.It is low gloss black and a product by Englert according to the comments. The sharp edge detailing modernize the otherwise traditional house and setting. Is black too dark for my house? A light roof would reflect more light. I love the look of real zinc and zinc coated copper It's a matte finish that I am looking for.
The remaining pictures are inspirational. I love everything about this home in Montauk, both inside and out. Cedar roof, siding & zinc coated copper standing seam. Simple, lovely and traditional. Picture perfect. I swoon every time I study this compound. The architect's web site is worth a look! Gorgeous.
My new home. Architecture by Bill Chapin,1983.
