This house illustrates the reduction in cost achieved by simplicity in planning. The two rooms, vith a full length verandah make it very comfortable. Big windows and doors have been placed in such a manner that the house gets the maximum flow of breeze. The house is compact and is suitable for hot humid areas. The floor height is only 8'-6". The semi-precast roof illustrates a novel construction technique.
