Natural slate, ceramic tile, standing seam and copper — pitched and flat exploitable roofs the studio designs, sources and installs as one contractor. The one part of the house that must be perfect the first time, because a leak shows up on the ceiling of a finished interior.
A roof is read from far away and lived under every day. Natural slate ages into deep graphite pedigree, ceramic tile keeps warm terracotta life, standing seam draws crisp modern lines, copper starts bright and patinates into a living surface no other material offers.
Under the finish, the roof is engineering: ventilation, the waterproofing contour, insulation, snow guards and hidden gutters. We design that layer as carefully as the visible one — so the beautiful roof is also a dry one.
This is one of the roofing solutions in the studio’s selection. We work with several suppliers and materials and choose the one that best fits the house and the budget — and the catalogue keeps growing.
Why order it through the studio
Material to the architecture
Slate for a manor, ceramic for a warm classic, standing seam or copper for a modern volume — we choose the roof to the house and its roofline, not to a price list.
One responsibility, studio price
Covering, the ventilated and waterproofing contour, gutters and mounting — one contract on the studio’s terms. One party answers for the roof, down to the last flashing.
Right the first time
The roof is engineered — ventilation, insulation, snow retention, concealed drainage — and executed by one team, so it stays dry and keeps its face for decades.
Materials
Four roofs of one level
Slate, ceramic, standing seam and copper are four characters, not four price points. We choose by the house: the pattern of hand-laid slate, the warmth of clay tile, the crisp lines of seam metal, the living patina of copper.
Form
Not only pitched: the roof terrace
A flat exploitable roof turns the top of the house into a room under the sky — a stone-paved deck, a lounge, planting and a view. The same one contractor waterproofs it and lays the finish, so the terrace you walk on is also the roof that keeps the house dry.

A roof is the one thing on a house you cannot fix from the inside. We build it to be forgotten — in the best sense.
