It would make more sense for the jut out or the change in elevation to be entirely in tiles, valley and all, then stopping at a gable. The glazed area could then be successfully connected to the gable abutment.
The so called gable part need not be say a conventional brick affair rather it be constructed as a vaulted open design so that the connection is done as glass to timber and the whole open effect maximised.
I have tried to imagine how the whole thing would be constructed and how it would actually work, what with the valley boards, tiles, valley material (i.e. lead, glass fibre etc) on one side of the valley and then suddenly glass.
And how exactly is a one sided valley built, i.e. the timber work etc?
Aesthetically speaking - no contest.
They have sold this idea to the customer with little forethought whatsoever. Some architects should be put up against a tree and shot.
think a 1 sided Valley is perfectly possible, but this is a One Sided Hip (valley hip ? ), which is how the builder's convinced me to go with his tiled plan.
i fabricate conny roofs and wouldnt like to get involved with the glass/tiled valley. id rather carry the roof on from the end of the valleys to steer away from remedials. however anything is possible if you find the right person/ company
