Hi, I want to know about the "roof" system used at the Kahn´s Fisher House.
How ´bout the snow? the house doesnt have a ^ roof. What kind of solution used to drain the snow? Thanx a lot! |

While I can't comment specifically on the Fisher house, "flat" roofs typically have a slight pitch to one or more low spots, which can be drained either by external scuppers or by internal leads. The irregular plane of the roof is often disguised by a raised parapet or otherwise hidden from below.
