two storey bungalow.
The safari roof house was named
after a roof type used in series
land rovers, one raised off the
body of the vehicle. The idea was
for cross-ventilation to replace
synthetic heat insulation and for
the roof, being a pure sunbreak
and constructed of bituminous
corrugated sheet, to be cost
effective in construction,
The heavy use of precast cement
vent block in the elevations was
an economic means to reduce
afternoon heating from the west
and to provide for greater privacy
in the bathrooms. Cement was
the flavour of the month and
resulted in its singleminded use
for finishes throughout..
