Materials & architecture
One roof, several expressions of copper
The copper work carries through the roof planes, drainage, and a distinctive dormer. Standing-seam copper provides a different surface and rhythm beside the Slate Select field, while the custom half-round guttering follows the roof edges. The nautical-style dormer gives the metalwork a clear architectural focal point.

Understanding the materials
Slate Select is a manufactured roofing product rather than quarried natural stone. On this project, the custom multicolor blend and copper details were selected together. The gallery separates the completed aerial view from photographs taken during construction so owners can see both the finished composition and the work behind it.
