AUSTIN RESIDENCE FEATURES TRENDY, CURVED METAL ROOF

Winning a Metal Roofing Alliance 2020 Best Residential Metal Roofing award and an MCA Chairman’s Award, four structures at the Olympus residence in Austin showcase the sustainability and aesthetics of metal roofing.

"The house sits at the bottom of a hill, so their roof is the first thing you see as you drive up," explains Joel Kenty, CFP, CLU, ChFC, Partner – Business Development, Green Knight Metal Roofing, whose Austin-based company installed 7,500 square feet of standing seam roofing for the project. "The client wanted a ‘wow’ factor for their roof and worked with the architect Bercy Chen Studio on the design."

What emerged was a trendy curved roof which inverts halfway through the approximately 70-foot-long by 30-foot-wide steel, double-lock paneled material. The McElroy metal hyperbolic, parabolic roof incorporates a thinner, 12-inch flat pan roof, instead of the standard 16-inch width. This was done to prevent oil canning and more optimally seam the double lock.
