Designed for a Sloping Site

Architect: M. B. Patience

This house was designed for a family of three, with accommodation for a guest.

The site was a sloping one and to reduce the heights of foundation walls, as well as to express the slope of the ground, the floor was arranged on two levels.

Standard wood frame construction was chosen as being the most economical structure, sheathed with weatherboarding and a bitumen fabric roof.
