I think that as demonstrated with this project, flat roofs can be just as attractive as pitched ones. it all comes down to the look you are trying to achieve. Generally speaking, modern or contemporary styled homes will have a flat roof element incorporated into its design. The advantage of a flat roof is that it can also accommodate a deck and /or roof garden above.
A pitched roof provides more structure and stability than a flat roof however flat roof is significantly cheaper and more practical even though a pitched roof looks nicer.
As far as the iT House is concerned, the structural roof decking is capable of long spans and overhangs. It arrives on site complete with fascia sections, acoustical insulation, and pre-drilled for recessed ceiling fixtures. Installation is as simple as laying out the panels in sequence over the aluminum beams and screwing them into place. You can find out more info here: http://tkithouse.com/ithouse/
