This ventblock house was designed by
Kevin Low. It was the second in a series of houses with a roof system based on cross ventilated insulation. A decision was made early to conceptually enclose some sort of garden space in the heart of the building, privacy being the issue.
The side facing walls were built from overburnt clay brick, hard but warm, punctured in parts by narrow windows. Thin concrete roofs characterize much of the shading on the lower level, with large glazed doors and window walls only on the inside faces of the protected garden. Cement vent block was used in this house for screening; this was to become the guiding character for the safari roof house.
