Roofing Wednesdays: Die Es (Gabriël Fagan's Home)

Architect Gabriel Fagan is a national icon in South Africa famous for celebrating the town's culture with his building designs. Here, the undulating roof shape "conforms directly to the plan by enhancing the cell-like separateness of each room, while lifting to frame alternate western sea and eastern mountain views."

Roofing Wednesdays: La Pedrera

La Pedrera ("stone quarry") is the more popular name for Casa Milà, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí, who created a roof with sentinels to stand guard, and took six years to build (1906-1912). In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage building by UNESCO. You can even take a tour of this spectacular building!
