Four roofing materials were used for this hybrid roof: tapersawn cedar for the cupola, Revere freedom gray zinc-coated copper for the standing seam metal, CertainTeed belmont architectural asphalt for the steep slope sides of. the mansard roof and Elevate .060 white EPDM for the lowslope garage roof.

We specified CertainTeed Landmark Pro asphalt shingles in Granite Gray for the gable roof and Johns Manville .080 TPO for the flat roof. Both of these were installed over 4" polyisocyanurate insulation. We recommended this style of architectural asphalt shingles to map to the historic look of the buildings of this era; the flat TPO roof provides good heating and cooling efficiency and is indiscernible from the ground, so as not to take away from the aesthetic appeal of the gable roof. This roof also features red copper cleansing strips at the ridge and midway down the expanse to minimize algae or moss growth in this heavily treed and moisture-prone of Stony Creek, Connecticut.

A large heritage oak tree is the dominant element of the front yard and driveway design. The gravel driveway allows air and water to keep the tree healthy. The house facade is balanced and deliberate, while the garage element is recessed. An asphalt section provides space to ride bikes or play basketball when the desire presents itself.
