Just makes me weep when I see the dog-boxes we Aussies build on our small blocks when this type of concept is available! http://www.kpproperty.lk/property/brand ... 9n6uK4Vs3I Thanks for giving me a laugh today, never heard a 40+ square home over 3 levels with a rooftop space described as little, but there you go.

You can see, too, from the photos of that house that some of the timber work is a bit rough-and-ready but that is typical. All usually turns out pretty pleasant looking. The common inclusion of a roof garden or terrace makes for really relaxed evening living.
