Keeping layout simple and using multiples of standard product dimensions, the roof framing, sheathing, roofing and even the front porch and skylight have a common denominator (12") allowing them to repeat and cycle in rhythm.
The roofing over the porch runs cleanly through from the skylight to the edge of the porch. Another detail laid out during schematic design based on the buildings original structural grid, but then resolved and executed during construction. In the design build process, not having to draw exact details up front saves on initial design and permitting costs, but allows for a sophisticated completed look with craftsmanship and attention to detailing occurring throughout the entire process.
Except for the skylight, and some gable edge trim, the roof is almost finished. Galvanized 5" half round gutters go on next, where the water will be collected in the rain catchment/Koi pond. The porch, though, already has it's stealth, square edged, custom gutter installed.
