The roof may be the last part of our homes that we show our guests, but it is definitely not the least part that can draw attention and beauty to the external physique of our house. Aside from being an important part of the household, our roof can also add style and elegance to our dream house.
Peak Roofings Systems shares some of the most interesting and creative roofing jobs completed in history:
DENIZEN OF THE DEEP
Something definitely out of the ordinary: a twenty-five foot long shark is crashing head first through the roof of the local radio presenter, Bill Heine. The shark ‘crashed’ into his roof in 1986, and is still there today. Bill Heine had his artist friend, John Buckley, and local carpenter, Anton Castiau, create the sculpture in his roof as a political statement inspired by “a few bottles of champagne.” The blue, grey, and white colored shark faced multiple attempts by the city council to have it removed, however, with Bill’s law background, he was able to keep it, and have it refurbished in 2007.
RAINING ROCKS
1500 years ago, the abbey of Saint-Maurice was built at the base of a cliff as a safe retreat. Over time, the erosion of the cliff has sent rocks and boulders tumbling down into the abbey, destroying many of the ruins. Architects from Savioz Fabrizzi Architectes have created a “Rock-Proof Roof” to cover the area that receives the most damage. 170 tons of stones the size of basketballs have been scattered across the entire roof to prevent strong wind gusts from damaging it; this gives it not only a cobblestone look to the top of the roof, but casts a unique reticulated shadow across the archaeological site.
For modern home suggestions, here are some great ideas that will definitely make your roofing system more than just an ordinary house cover:
