My (potential) customer has this funky Timber framed building on top of a hill in their backyard and they need a roof on it.

They're seeking a metal roof, however it doesn't seem like this is possible given the curvature and multiple directions of the framing.

As it is, the roof is layered as such: roof deck is 1-in pine, two layers of rigid 1 in insulation board, one layer of Grace high temperature underlayment.

I'm seeking alternate options.

What would you do here?

A.) 3" hand nail shingles directly on top of the rigid board insulation?

B.) Add nailers and plywood over top of the rigid insulation (cool roof deck) and install shingles on this.

C.) Fake slate?

D.) Other, please explain!

Thanks everyone.
