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.
