Roof

I love roof's. The abundance and variety of roofing materials with their different textures, aesthetic and required skills; provides our cityscape's with a rich visual and unique appeal. Roofing material's and skills are often underestimated, and I've often seen major refurbishments of beautiful buildings taking place without any consideration of the roof.

As you can see from some of my photo's above, the roof just isn't a functional piece of construction. It is a vibrant part of the whole architectural experience with a wonderful synergy between material and form.

Here's a whole raft of my roofing shots
