Roof: Gentle Slope, Deep Eaves, Metal Corrugated Sheets

A roof designed for tropical rainy seasons. The slope is gentle, with a large overhang extending beyond the edge of the balcony; the roof surface is silver-gray or dark green metal corrugated sheets, with clearly visible longitudinal ridges, showing years of oxidation and shallow rust stains. There is an elevated ventilation cupola on the ridge to allow hot air to escape. The eaves feature a simple white fascia board, with exposed wooden rafters underneath. Avoid: using steep roofs and tiles, making the overhang very shallow, using modern flat metal sheets without ridges, sealing the underside of the eaves to form a flat ceiling.

一個為熱帶雨季設計的屋頂。坡度平緩,大面積往外出簷超過陽台的邊緣;屋面是銀灰或深綠的金屬浪板,縱向的凸稜清楚可見,經年已有氧化與淺淺的鏽斑。屋脊上有一段抬高的通風頂棚讓熱氣排出。簷口是一道簡單的白色封簷板,底下露出木椽。避免:使用陡峭的屋頂與瓦片、把出簷做得很淺、使用現代的平整金屬板沒有凸稜、把屋簷底面封成平整的天花。
