Private Residence in the British Virgin Islands
When Huber & Associates was asked to provide the owner with a Japanese style roof using cooper roofing the answer was quick and design work was soon to follow. A "S" shaped copper tile with other Japanese style cooper accents.
There were challenges to creating the desired aesthetic with enduring function. First, a tile with a curved profile in hurricane zone meant firm attachment and ability to lock the tiles in place. Second, given the lower slope, dependable water shedding in wind driven rain. And third, the building design required an access to a large built in gutter at the roof's midpoint and obviously, walking on copper tiles would not yield a good result.

Bella Collina - Clay Tile Roofing
The Spirit of Tuscany. Where the perfect atmosphere of the ancient world is combined with that of today created with the highest standards building and wind codes. The clay roof tiles were installed with old Italy in mind, incorporating: random stacking tiles, triple tiles at eaves, random exposures and courses, and finally a mortar-set look throughout the field tiles. Huber & Associates successfully engineered the roof to not only support the weight over open roof battens, but simultaneously met the strict Florida wind uplift codes as well. The charm is both obvious above, and warm and inviting below, with the tile visible on open battens.
Bryce Canyon Lodge's Cedar Roof
The Bryce Canyon Lodge was constructed in the early 1920's by the Union Pacific Railroad as a way to gain more tourists in the area. In 1987, this lodge was acknowledged as a National Historic Landmark, and today is the only national park lodge from the era to still be intact and actively running. Crowning this rustic lodge was a bright hunter green roof made up of cedar shingles with a wave pattern giving the whole roof a unique sense of motion. The last reroofing did not include the original roof pattern, but with preservation in mind the roof was matched as closely to the original as possible.
Arriving to Reroof
The reroofing process had to be done in the winter months during the lodge's off season. The crew arrived in January to a roof covered with snow!
Project Update: 1 North Pack Square
Right in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina is Pack Square; named after George W. Pack who deeded the land to the people of Asheville a for a park in 1901. The name "Pack Square" entered the city vocabulary in 1903 and ever since people, cars and commerce have been busy crisscrossing this mid-point of the city. Additionally, Pack was motivated to erect a monument to his friend Zebulon B. Vance (d. 1894), state senator, three term governor of North Carolina, humanist, secessionist, and champion of the common man. That is the ‘Vance’ obelisk in front of 1 North Pack Square and the current roof restoration project.
The building is leased to various tenants but primarily serves as the headquarters of The Biltmore Company.
The Biltmore Estate's Copper Ridge
We had the pleasure recently to recreate one of the Biltmore's copper ridges. Consisting of over 900 individual parts, it took a lot of time and attention to detail to make, and even look for ways to improve, what was so beautiful and withstood nature for 120 years.
The entire process of carefully removing the old ridge, replicating it, and installing the new one took about six months to complete! To understand the magnitude of this home, this is just one of the many ridges that will need restoration in the future.
