At Sentinel Solid Roof, we’d like to think of ourselves as experts in roofing solutions for conservatories. No surprise, then, that we also take great interest in the weirdest and most wonderful roofs from across the globe. Roofs like…



SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE Designed by Jorn Ultzon, construction on Australia’s iconic opera house began in 1959. The roof is built from 2,194 concrete sections weighing 15 tons each.

Fun fact: Ultzon’s

design was originally

dismissed – until

American architect

Eero Saarinen called

it ‘outstanding.’



In southern Rio de Janeiro, architects Mareines + Patalano created the visually stunning Leaf House. The apparently blossoming roof perfectly shades those inside from the humid climate.

LEAF HOUSE

Fun fact: The architects envisioned Leaf House as a way to increase connection between humans and nature.



HOTEL-DIEU DE BEAUNEFounded in 1443 as a hospital for the destitute residents of Beaune, the design was overseen by architect Jacques Wiscrere.

Fun fact: A charity wine

auction has been held

here every November

since 1851.



ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRALEven today, St. Paul’s dominates London’s skyline. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the baroque-style cathedral replaced old St. Paul’s after it was ravaged in the Great Fire of London.

Fun fact: St. Paul’s dome inspired St. Isaac’s in Russia, and Washington DC’s Capitol Building.



CASA MILA

Located in Barcelona, this modernist building was the work of architect Antoni Gaudi. The stone roof itself is a wild cavalcade of staircases, skylights and twisted chimneys.

Fun fact: With chimneys appearing to protect skylights, the

poet Pere Gimferrer called the stepped roof

‘the garden of warriors.’
