Perth IMHO really needs a lot more real architectural driven designs. Perth is turning into a rather drab cookie cutter state. So sad seeing wasted opportunities be given to the cheapest option money can buy.
Very simple Water always finds it's own level ,if you had a level roof where would the water go..willair..Butterfly roofs or box gutter roofs... Im wondering why there arent more examples in residental housing designs... Apart from cost , does anyone know why is it that every roof is australia needs to be pitched??
Have a look at 16 arlington st, belmont, nsw and surrounds on google street view. Telly tubby houses galore - they virtually eliminate the need for guttering.
Architecture can also just go silly. That's what running water to the middle of the building is with a butterfly roof, then hoping you can shift it before it gets in.
What's wrong with this picture? Something seriously wrong?
I am planning on building with a skillion roof.
Probably two roofs (or rooves to be traditional) slanting in opposite directions.
I don't imagine these would give the dramas of the butterfly style pictured above but would appreciate any advice from the experts.
Cheers,
Hell yes - I want decent eaves to keep the summer sun off the windows!
Thanks

Skillions are great.. And so are eaves. Its a shame low cost builders in perth excel in the removal of these. Like the butterfly, its very strange to see a house without eaves. Damn low cost builders on there cost cutting.
