New house, Waterval Estate, Johennesburg, 1972

This first of our three family houses in Johannesburg featured floor-to-ceiling window and door openings throughout. No lintels, no sills; therefore the walls never cracked. The roof design was similar to an aircraft wing: it was slim, lightweight and self-supportedly spanned all openings.
