Porcelain terrace with channel drainage
Large-format porcelain run to a channel drain along the house edge.
Porcelain is unforgiving: it shows every deviation in level and every joint that does not line through, and it needs somewhere for water to go because it absorbs none of it.
These photographs document a channel drain run along the house edge with the terrace falling into it, recessed covers infilled in matching porcelain, and the joint lines carried across the full run.
