Pattern work in natural slate: scalloped (fish-scale) courses with diamond insets, carried around the windows and dormers of a Tudor-style home in Highlands, North Carolina.
Here slate works as wall cladding as well as roofing. Each piece is cut and laid by hand so the pattern flows unbroken around corners and openings.
This is the kind of detail work that gets a roofer remembered — and it lasts as long as the house does.
