The roof construction presented a particular challenge, with a very complicated arch that necessitated a thoughtful selection of materials to optimize success. The new white roofing material was chosen in part for its energy-saving properties. A photovoltaic system of solar panels was installed on the roof to provide electricity for the residence, while a separate solar pump system heats the pool. © Maxwell Mackenzie and BOWA

Standing seam low slope metal roofing contrasting with wood and cement plaster finish. Garage door admits light both day and night.

Window into master suite joined to screened hall with roll-up canvases at Big Tree Camp. This southern façade is a composition of steel, glass and screened panels with galvanized metal and cypress wood cladding, lighter in nature and a distinct contrast to the north facing masonry façade. The window joines a large pocketing glass door opening to the south Texas landscape.
