A one-story house with a low-pitched, gabled or hipped roof, with wide eaves The first storey is predominantly masonry while the second storey is lighter, mainly clad in timber, with projecting fenestration that simulates traditional monsoon windows, above which overhanging, low-pitched hipped roofs are covered with hardwood shingles. The form of the inside space created by the fractured planes of the hipped roof, the explosive transparency of the glass walls, and the solidity of the carved front facade is so dynamic and allusive that the house transcends descriptive concision. |
