Roof Drainage? - How well does your roof drainage scupper collector work on the butterfly roof?? Does it overflow and would you redesign if you had the option? »

ralphpinto I like this scupper very much. Is there any "blow-back" onto the wall when it is windy and raining? Does the attachment method prevent back-seepage when it snows?

Intexure Architects when it rains it pours in Houston so there is not much blow back, it typically shoots off the roof quite strong. We also don't get much snowfall here.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by John Hill to Houzz Tour: Houston Architects' Modern Live-Work Studio

To the left of the garage is the stair tower, and beyond that the majority of the live-work spaces. This stair tower is particularly important, as the architects indicate: "As a diagram, the stair tower divides the space. Downstairs is pure studio, above the garage is pure living, while the upstairs above the studio has dual functions."The long facade faces south and east, so the trees are helpful in shading these spaces.

Very cool, commercial-looking place. I'm not always wild about corrugated metal as siding but it looks good here.

Besides the fact that this live-work studio exists in the midst of Houston's sprawl, a couple things are notable: The architects, of Intexure Architects, actually inhabit the project, and four of their residential projects overlook it, making this part of Houston's Inner Loop an Intexure compound of sorts. The four houses, which are billed as Southmoor Terrace, are all LEED certified and are in the same modernist vein as the live-work studio. These include the Bhutani residence, the Tallichet residence and the Waldrum residence. This article focuses on the live-work studio, since it offers a different typology for its context.
