What the roof is reading
The house hears the weather before you do.
Ridge is a 42 cm mast that clamps to your roof line and reads rain, wind, lightning and the snow that settles. Change the sky above this house: the storm is the rain leaned on, thunder arrives after its flash, and snow keeps lying on the roof for as long as it falls. Drag to walk around.

Four skies, four responses
One sensor on the ridge. Every room downstream of it.
01 / Clear
The house opens up.
Ridge reads irradiance off the dome and lets the low sun in on the cold side of the house, then tells the garden its morning water still stands.
02 / Rain
Closed before the floor is wet.
An optical gauge counts drops, not millimetres after the fact. The skylight shuts on the first fifth of a millimetre and the irrigation slot quietly skips itself.
03 / Storm
The rain, leaned on.
Gusts and strike distance arrive together. Shutters drop only on the windward face, and the heat pump is isolated while strikes are inside eight kilometres.
04 / Snow
What settles, not what falls.
A time-of-flight sensor measures the snow lying on the ridge, so gutter heat runs on load and temperature, and the porch mat is warm before anyone opens the door.
Ridge R2 — specification
Built to stand where the weather lands first.
Forty-two centimetres above the ridge tile is the only place on a house that sees every sky at once. Ridge lives there for a decade, on sunlight, and talks to everything below it.
