Grand Prize Residential – Carpenters Roofing and Sheet Metal
Project: South Florida Oceanfront Home
Architect: SKA Architect & Planner and Joseph Dirand Architecture
Ludowici Tile Products Used:
- 18-3/8” Palm Beach Mission Tile – 72%
- 16” Lanai Flat Profile Tile – 28%
Why This Project Was Selected as the Grand Prize Winner
This project offers a creative approach to roof design that produces a dramatic result. The main home structure features 101 squares of Ludowici Tiles’s Palm Beach Mission style with four distinct colors: Weathered Slate Red, Sunset Red, Weathered Summer Rose, and Weathered Historic Red. Thanks to the unique construction of the home, a different type of roof tile was required for another section. This area contains 40 squares of Ludowici Tile’s Lanai 16” style with the same color blend of Palm Beach Mission Tile. These colors and the mix of tiles create a stunning look for this home and display the amazing versatility and range of using Ludowici Tile. The tile profiles, colors, and surface texture was a collaboration between two architects – one in Palm Beach and one in Paris.
