Watauga County Courthouse Roof

(in progress) This study explored massing, slopes, ventilation, and technical feasibility requirements for a large roof addition. Originally constructed in 1966 with multiple additions since, the Watauga County North Carolina courthouse needed a significant addition to solve infiltration problems. The proposed roof was designed to stand up to typical Appalachian mountain conditions with blowing rain, snow, and ice events while sheltering numerous pieces of existing rooftop equipment.
