Often left to rust to a beautiful (well in my eyes anyway) sienna, the different stages of rusting are found throughout rural Ireland:<\/p>\n<p>Even in its untarnished state, the grey of the galvanised, corrugated iron is a perfect match for the often grey skies of Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>In our house for Tim Morris &amp; his family (shown below) the renovated roof to the existing cottage was replaced with a terracotta coloured, profiled, steel coated profiled roof that pays homage to traditional rust; whereas the new barrel roofed extension was roofed in a shiny metallic silver (again coated, profiled steel) in deference to a new, shed roof. The different roofing materials are therefore employed to differentiate old from new. The use of the stainless steel balcony and gutters continue this motif.<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markstephensarchitects.markstephens.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/69ef467d-98be-40b5-aa05-b8d070125c4d1.jpg'><img src='https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markstephensarchitects.markstephens.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/69ef467d-98be-40b5-aa05-b8d070125c4d1.jpg?resize=281%2C187' border='0' width='281' height='187' align='left' style='margin:5px;' data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><br \/>Both materials are obviously of the same vintage; are highly insulated and although old in &#8216;style&#8217; are completely contemporary in appearance.<\/p>\n<p>One of my heros of contemporary yet highly appropriate architecture is Australian architect Glenn Murcutt whose architecture combines modernism with an architecture that is entirely &#8216;Australian&#8217;.
