Inter-leafing Roof Tiles:
Terracotta tiles that are shaped in the form of the six segmented fig leaf which creates a mesh of interlocking / interleaving tapestry.
Design Concept:
We saw the need for roof tiles which can blend into its environment. Many homes or buildings make use of roof tiles, which for lack of any alternatives, detract from the architectures design to blend within the natural surroundings of the building. The fig leaf shaped roof tile would blend into a natural environment of trees and shrubbery.
