While having a roof over our heads is a basic necessity, that doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t also be beautiful. Roofs will always need to be leak-proof, sturdy, and lined with a gutter system, however, these famous buildings take roofing design to a whole other level.<\/p>\n

Here are five famous examples of roofs that provide much more than function and security:<\/p>\n

\"Famous<\/p>\n

The Sydney Opera House – Sydney, Australia<\/strong>
\nThe Sydney Opera House is known as one of the greatest architectural works of the 20th century. The curvaceous, shell-like design of this roof is what makes this building so unique and iconic. Each of the \u2018shells\u2019 are precast concrete panels, covered by over one million glossy, white and matte tiles.<\/p>\n

\"Famous<\/p>\n

St. Stephens Cathedral – Vienna, Austria<\/strong>
\nThis roof is covered by 230,000 multicolored, glazed tiles. In addition to the geometric patterns, these tiles also form images, including a coat of arms and a two-headed eagle. And because the roof is so steep, it only needs rainwater to wash it clean.<\/p>\n

\"Famous<\/p>\n

St. Basil\u2019s Cathedral – Moscow, Russia<\/strong>
\nSt. Basil\u2019s Cathedral, also known as Pokrovsky Cathedral, has had several makeovers over the years. But since 1947, this famous landmark has remained the same – featuring eight domed spires, designed with colorful hues and intricate patterns.<\/p>\n

\"Famous<\/p>\n

The Grand Palace – Bangkok, Thailand<\/strong>
\nSpanning over 200,000 square meters, The Grand Palace is clearly not known for its modesty. One of the most famous elements is the roof of the throne hall (also known as The \u2018Golden Roof\u2019). Each tile is filled with symbolism from Thai culture and history.<\/p>\n

\"Famous<\/p>\n

Fukuoka Prefectural International Hall – Fukuoka, Japan<\/strong>
\nThis architectural wonder sets itself apart with its \u2018green\u2019 rooftop. The green-terraced roof can be explored like a park with walking paths, gardens, and reflection pools.<\/p>\n
