You might have better luck with google! My comment has nothing to do with two piece vs s-tile. We left a home with s-tile (which isn't perfect) for one with 2-piece, which isn't perfect either. There are problems with both. If one part of the S gets damaged, you replace the entire thing. I stupidly agreed that the HVAC dude could steal end tiles from the custom designed dog house for the roof, and he promised to replace them. Did that happen? NO! But I found many online, and if I have to do it myself, I will. It's not about the dog! It's the principal! We are missing two very visible tiles! Actually, we don't even have a dog for that special place in our newly purchased home, but we bought it intact, and now it's ruined! I'd love a dog, but there are mountain lions who would eat that doberman for lunch...... Ask your question to google. I bet you get some great answers! Suzi

I'm working hard to build a home that has only spaces that I will use. It's important to me to get away from formal spaces (e.g. the dining room) which I never use and spend square footage (and money) to elevate areas that are used daily (e.g. media room, kitchen, home offices, porches). There will be one or two offices each with its own bath so the home can act as a three or four-bedroom, if necessary. I did share @cpartist's The Best Houses list with the architect and explained that those are the rules that he must endeavor to follow. It was the single most important piece of advice I've taken away from this site. Although I got a lot of it right on my spec, I could've done a little better had I seen the list earlier. The home that I originally asked the question about the roof is far too big for my wallet, but I've asked my architect to take the best of its floorplan (below) provide a design that has porches/access from all sides + a central courtyard (so that my cat can safely go outside becuase there are wild animals in the area) that capture mountain views to the front of and views to the park and open space from the sides. My inspiration photo is actually a different house with a different shape, but it conveys the feel that I'm chasing:

Hello, we are getting our house painted. The house is yellow with a terracotta tile roof. The front door is covered by a portico with a curved metal roof. The small accents above the bottom windows are typically painted an accent color. Our dilemma is that the portico roof also needs to be painted and that is normally matched to the tile roof color. We are are wondering if we should match the accent color to the portico roof color instead of matching the portico roof color to the clay tile roof color. We were thinking of adding an accent to the white trim above the bottom windows. We are thinking a brick red for both the portico roof and the accents. Would welcome any advice.
