   Agreed.  It looks bad as architecture, and it'll be hard to keep from leaking.

   They need that runoff to fill the swimming pool.

   that looks like a concrete slab, not a roof.

   is the grey flat area actually concrete  ?

   i don't see a membrane from the flat area going up onto the sloped roof.

   We don't need no stupid sidewall flashings, we got some type coating or topping.

   LOLActually, while it would be a challenge, This job could be detailed to not leak, but it is definitely poor design

   That was my thought - this area is full of odd architectural things on high end homes either to justify the fee or maybe the owner said I must have a room on first floor there, causing the runnoff problem on 2 nd floor. roof is very very flat, no visible slope tho it must have one
