Art is composed of over 3,000 deep-green, glazed terra cotta tiles, which were aesthetically inspired by the Museum complex\u2019s extensive natural landscape. To create the color, form and installation methods of this epic fa\u00e7ade, Machado Silvetti collaborated with Boston Valley Terra Cotta. The building envelope is both high performing, visually striking and redefines the existing courtyard with a modern feel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458262173719Privacy_screen_articulation_of_recycled_clay_roof_tiles_at_night_3.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458262173719Privacy_screen_articulation_of_recycled_clay_roof_tiles_at_night_3.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458262173719Privacy_screen_articulation_of_recycled_clay_roof_tiles_at_night_3.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458262173719Privacy_screen_articulation_of_recycled_clay_roof_tiles_at_night_3.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458262173719Privacy_screen_articulation_of_recycled_clay_roof_tiles_at_night_3.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458262173719Privacy_screen_articulation_of_recycled_clay_roof_tiles_at_night_3.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 H Lin Ho\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 H Lin Ho<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458261951110Brick_brise-soleil.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458261951110Brick_brise-soleil.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458261951110Brick_brise-soleil.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458261951110Brick_brise-soleil.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458261951110Brick_brise-soleil.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1458261951110Brick_brise-soleil.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 H Lin Ho\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 H Lin Ho<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/clay-roof-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clay Roof House<\/a><\/b>by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/drtan-lm-architect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DRTAN LM Architect<\/a>, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After inspecting the old dilapidated home that the clients had purchased, the builders discovered that the old structure had good quality, robust Indian clay roof tiles.
