Barrel Tile Roof: Alternating Arches

A roof made of handmade terracotta tiles. The tiles are semi-circular barrel-shaped, arranged alternately with convex tiles facing up and concave tiles facing down, forming continuous ridges and valleys. Each tile varies in color, from orange-red to grayish-brown to almost black, some with moss and lichen growing on them. The arrangement is not perfectly neat, with slight undulations. The ridge and eaves are finished with stacked tiles.
Avoid: Using machine-made regular flat tiles, making all tiles the same color, making the arrangement perfectly neat, using metal and cement imitation tiles.

一片手工陶瓦的屋頂。瓦是半圓的筒形,以仰瓦朝上、覆瓦朝下的方式交替排列,形成一道道連續的凹凸;每一片瓦的顏色都不同,從橘紅到灰褐到幾乎黑,有些長著苔蘚與地衣。排列不完全整齊,微微起伏。屋脊與簷口以疊放的瓦收邊。避免:使用機製的規則平瓦、讓所有瓦片顏色一致、把排列做得完全整齊、使用金屬與水泥的仿瓦。
