- The roof lines were inspired both by the organic shell forms of the marine environment but also by the ubiquitous dhow sails seen all over the Quirimbas on the local fishing vessels. Such a roof was seen to introduce more interest and uniqueness and will be very responsive to cooling from the prevailing winds. The interlocking forms of the roofs provide additional shading on the north sides of the gables, and the sloping angle of the ridge line aids with passive cooling by allowing the warmer air to move along the ridge line and out of the gables.

japanese practice takeshi hirobe architects has sent us images of 'm-house', a three-storey house in a busy neighbourhood of tokyo, japan. abiding by the strict building regulation of the site, the design aims to connect the interior with the exterior while maintaining privacy for the inhabitants.
during the early stages of the designing process, an octagonal staircase was inserted into the floor plan as a major structural pillar to the house. constructed with reinforced concrete, the spiral stairwell is topped with a roof light which allows is to double-function as a lightwell. the interior surfaces are also finished in white to maximize the natural daylighting effect, bringing it all the way down to the basement. round holes of various sizes are randomly perforated on the sides of the shell to establish internal visual connections to each floor.
