Description
This two-storey house was designed and sited so as to leave the maximum possible space for a garden well protected from the road. The living-quarters are all placed on the ground floor; the kitchen has an entrance and a courtyard of its own. The four bedrooms are on the upper floor.
The house has a reinforced concrete skeleton with board-marked ceilings and brick walls painted white. The floor is teak wood and the paneling of the living areas rosewood.
