“I like to use a product that reveals what it is,” says McCurry, explaining her proclivity for specing simple asphalt shingles on a home. The material is economical, long lasting, and readily available. Instead of trying to disguise the shingles as something other than asphalt, McCurry “gives them a twist” by mixing colors into interesting patterns such as this green and gray checkerboard roof.
