They are seriously ending the roof right at the wall? That is monumentally stupid and will guarantee a multitude of problems down the line.

- izacus 2y agoYep, e.g. france: https://www.properstar.ch/france/hesingue/buy/house https://www.properstar.ch/france/hesingue/buy/house There's a crop of these hideous things I've seen around Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland and rest of central Europe.
- bityard 2y agoGood lord. I don't know how exactly it's constructed but I'm guessing a house made like that is either going to require extensive annual maintenance, or start rotting/crumbling in 15-20 years.
- kjellsbells 2y agoThe French always had a soft spot for the Modernist style of Le Corbusier. The linked property doesnt seem too far from a Villa Savoye or the Roche Jeanneret residence. Unfortunately, the truth of both those places, and in fact all the strict Modernist/Brutalist buildings of the postwar period, is that rain absolutely f*ks them over. No amount of tar paper, roofing tile, etc., can help against a flat roof, frequent precipitation, and a temperature climate.
